She's back! And already,
she is taking no prisoners.
Omowunmi Akinnifesi,
who was Most Beautiful Girl
in Nigeria 2005, has just
returned from a 2-year
public break, armed with a
Master's degree from King's
College, London and
already busy working on
policy for the Lagos
government.
And with beauty, and
smarts, and the will to boot, the Y! magazine editors have
presented her as their proud alternative to the international
People magazine choice for World's Most Beautiful Woman
2013, Iron Man actress Gwyneth Paltrow!
"The global pop-culture shock at the decision coupled with
an already seething defensiveness about the audacity of
deciding on the world's most beautiful female from the
comfort of the United Kingdom inspired us to take the
challenge – who would we choose as the World's Most
Beautiful Woman?" the editor, Chude Jideonwo, said.
"Omowunmi Akinnifesi who, incidentally took the Nigerian
version of the title eight years ago, came into the country
just right in time."
The shoot is photographed by Kelechi Amadi-Obi, directed
by managing editor Adebola Williams, styled by Ebun
Aboderin, with the profile by Wilfried Okiche.
The magazine also includes incisive op-eds on life and
country by some of the country's best, the Y! list of the Most
Influential in business and politics, and an exclusive sit-down
with the Ekiti governor, Dr. Kayode Fayemi.
This is rounded up with the best in the culture – music,
movies, television, places, literature, radio, and some
stunning fashion. "With 30 pages of fashion, and
entertainment, go ahead and call it a bouquet," Jideonwo
said.
Y! is available in stores and from vendors across the
country. It is also available at all House of Tara Stores in
Lagos, Abuja, Ilorin, Port-Harcourt, Benin, Kano, Ibadan and
Kaduna and Y! campus representatives in 19 states. You can
also pay for the magazine with your mobile phone and have
it delivered to you at no extra charge.
