ADEBAYO JONES

Adebayo Jones is a London-Based Nigerian designer, his focus is primarily occasion/formal wear and wedding dresses. I like to think of Adebayo as a bespoke dressmaker. His designs are all about clean lines, expert tailoring and precision finishing. I luv his work and admire his resilience as he was one of the pioneering African designers in Europe. This fashion spread is from my fav magazine, True Love West Africa. ENJOY.

RANDOM GIST

I know y'all luv gist...dont even front...lol....So here is some random gist that I stumbled upon this weekend…..

Diary of a Mistress – Blog by Nigerian lady (Sisi Baby) based in Lagos, supposedly based on her salacious adventures and affair with a married man. I do not believe a word of it! But it’s a fun read.

Cool FM Presenter, Dan Foster and Lagos-based model, Linda Ikeji….Drama

Charmillionaire – Rapper of the popular song ‘Ridin’ is Nigerian?

Do u believe Sisi Baby? Why is Dan Foster trying to be a player? Is Charmillionaire really Nigerian?

AMPLIFYD

I absolutely luv Amplifyd!!! I heard their song “Shakara” on the radio in naija last xmas and I went ballistic trying to find out who they were…… I know those of u in the states r probably very familiar with them but for those who don’t know, they are B-Eazy (Biola), Myth (Muyiwa), Titi along with DJ TNT and managed by Young-Exec (Bode)……
I like to think of Amplifyd as Nigeria’s Black Eyed Peas…..Their music is fun and eclectic with a strong hip-hop and naija influence….
Here are some promo shots (luv them!!!!) and some of their songs….I really hope that Amplifyd stays on the musical grind…..cause they are fab!

MICHELLE DEDE

Michelle Dede and Olisa Adibua were presenters of my favourite TV reality show EVER, Big Brother Nigeria. I swear I was addicted to that show, Thank God, I had finished my finals when it started unless I would have simply failed…..Anyway, I think Michelle did a really great job, she seemed very bubbly but humble at the same time…… Some of my friends who know her were telling me that Michelle used to be really wild and crazy back in the day but from her interview, it seems as though she has found herself……good for her……Anyway, here is her interview and photo spread from the official Big Brother Nigeria Magazine. The poses are really cheesy and goofy but I think that’s what they were going for. I know thunder and lightening are going to strike me for this but I think Olisa looks kinda cute here……I need help….lol
I luv that Jewel by Lisa Folawiyo green ankara kimono top...very hot!

HauTeNESS

Are Nigerian designers imaginative?.............or do they blindly follow and imitate the likes of Chanel, Valentino and Cavalli who have paved the way?
Well, this weekend, I discovered that Nigerian designers indeed have vivid, wild, crazy, creative and innovative imaginations when I read the premiere edition of a brand new Nigerian Fashion Magazine……HauTe

GENEVIEVE PINK BALL

Last year, Genevieve Magazine hosted the Pink Ball. This event honoured inspiring Nigerian women and raised funds for breast cancer screening equipment.
I know this is old, but it was a really spectacular event that showcased Nigerian fashion and honoured Nigerian women while contributing to a noble cause…..
Anyway, most of u have probably seen this already but for those who haven’t……ENJOY
This was actually my favourite issue of Genevieve ever! Coincidentally, someone hosted a birthday party for Genevieve (the actress) after the event that night…….
What so u guys think?
All clothes in the feature were specially made by Folake Folarin-Coker for Tiffany Amber

TINUOLA

Tinuola Arowolo is a Nigerian model based in NYC…..she had a very successful commercial modelling career for several years and was featured in magazines such as Essence. She also graduated from the prestigious, Stern School of Business @ NYU and worked for Arthur Anderson for a little while.
She launched a music project some years ago and released an album using the name, T-Naija.
The album actually debuted on the Billboard R&B Charts when it was released in 2003.
Anyway, Tinuola is back with an online store called myuniqueshop. Click HERE to visit the site. The site stocks an array of luxury goods but the item building the most buzz is something called the 'Tinu ShoeBag'. This patented shoe-bag has been featured in various fashion mags and some celebrities have been started totting it…
Here are some pics of Tinuola and the 'Tinu ShoeBag'…what do u guys think? The ultimate fashionista fantasy? Or just plain ugly?

I really like Tinuola, I think she is really stunning and she also seems like a really determined and focused person…..but that ‘shoebag’ is not for me……

LAGOS HOT SPOTS

A friend of mine who is Nigerian but grew up in the states was asking me about places to go in Lagos. So it got me thinking about fun places to go in Lagos…..Ever since I decided I was too old to go partying in Lagos ……..I have been forced to feed my partying urges but reminiscing about all the fun times out in Lagos…

I know some of u r Lagosians like me and some of you haven’t been back in a while…..so I have decided to fill u in on some of the Lagos hotspots….I cant cover everything today but I’ll try…This list includes restaurants, lounges and just places u can hang out….

Saipan:Lol….my friends will understand the laughter…this is my favourite place in lagos….I have honesty only been there like 6 times but some people (they know themselves) think otherwise….anyways, it’s got a Chinese themed bar/lounge and restaurant ….interior is lovely, crowd is usually pretty decent….just remember to take ur wallet…u r gonna need it


Tanjia:I used to hate this place but they have really stepped their game up….its a Moroccan themed bar/lounge with a restaurant. They have a members only and guest list policy and tend to have quite a number of ‘themed nights’ so there are loads of activities always going down….Really unique interior with a variety of themed rooms……


Terra Kulture :Lovely place…love it…Nigerian themed restaurant, art gallery, multipurpose hall……all round fun place……very classy….have a lovely garden as well….they hold loads of activities and events there……I’m thinking of havin a lil birthday thing there if I am in lagos around my b-day…..dont worry u r invited.


Soul Lounge: New bar/lounge @ the Palms mall…..hot


Bonzai: Japanese restaurant……great interior…really true to the theme…..I luv Japanese food as I’m biased…

Casa del Habano: Also known as La Casa or Cigar Lounge……nice place….better if you take a whole group of friends or wanna host a private party….
Taureanminx shared a recent la casa ‘experience’ on her blog….

Marcopolo: Chinese restaurant……renovated last year I think….great for a lil birthday dinner

Villa Medici: Absolutely stunning interior….its designed ‘venitian style’ with a lil bridge over water inside the restaurant. Its an Italian restaurant….usually pretty quiet so great for a nice romantic dinner or business lunch.
thanks to LagosLive for most of the photos

I’m so sorry that all the places here are in Victoria Island and Ikoyi…….I hear there is this really nice new bar/club in Ikeja called Planet One…..havent been there tho.
So any stories of nights out in Lagos? Which is ur fav lagos hotspot? Any awful experiences?

P-SQUARE

I love P-Square!!!!!!!!!!!!

FLY FASHION - LANRE DA SILVA-AJAYI

For the past year, I have started seriously luving Nigerian designers, clothing and accessories.
Nigerian designers have really stepped their game up. So I will be periodically featuring some top notch Nigerian designs along with pics……
Here is a recent fashion spread that was featured in True Love West Africa.
I love the whole nostalgic vintage look…..


Clothes by: Lanre Da Silva-Ajayi
Hats by: Tiwa Kehinde Benson @ The Hat Lounge
Model: Emifome Emede
Hair: Bobby Eke @ Bobby’s Signature
Make-up: Bayo Haastrup @ Ijade Egbin
Photographer: Yetunde Ayeni
Stylist: Omoyemi Akerele

Fun Fact: The spread was shot on location at King’s College, Lagos…….
Hmmmm….so that’s how it looks

What do you think? Fab? Fugly, overpriced and unwearable? Does KC really look like that?

LOVE – Sweet, Saucy, Sour

Forgive me, I am going off topic today; My head is in the clouds right now, I just spoke to my sweetie and it got me thinking bout LOVE……
I was also inspired my Mona’s blog, she’s had this forum running all week and the subject is related to love and relationships…..it’s a really interesting read. For more details, CLICK HERE
Anyway, back to the love issue, I have discovered that the ultimate love is lovin’ God and lovin' yourself unconditionally….
Once that’s done, u shine!!!!!
Well, here are some naija songs that fit this theme….
They are some of my favourite songs! Make sure u give them a listen and leave some comments bout the songs or maybe bout love – sweet, saucy or sour…..

SWEET
Paul Play Dairo – Angel of My Life – Video (The Video is really nice)
Tosin Martins – Olo Mi

SAUCY
2 Shotz Feat BigLo – Delicious

SOUR
Djinee – Ego (I LOVE THIS SONG)
P Square – Omoge Mi

My first week of work was amazing!
Waking up at 6AM isn’t fun but I have my own office! When my manager showed me around, she was like “here is ur office”….I literally exclaimed “ehhhhh???”……Anyway, life is crazy and unexpected!
Have a great weekend!

MISS NIGERIA UNIVERSE

I think beauty pageants are really silly but I luv them……
Anyway, Tienepre Alexandra Oki was 1st runner-up in this year’s “Most Beautiful Girl in Nigeria” pageant.
She will be representing Nigeria in the Miss Universe 2006 pageant.
LMAO @ the answers these beauty queens give to interview questions…..
Excerpt from her Miss Universe Interview:

Name one person other than your parents who has had the most influence on your life. Why?
Dr. J. I. Ingboude, my family doctor. He helped in bring me into this world and has always been there for me since then.

Ummm……..ok….

The pageant takes place on the 23rd of July 2006. Hope she does well!
To read the rest of Tienepre’s interview and keep track of her progress in the pageant, CLICK HERE

Here are the African Queens:
ANGOLA ETHIOPIA GHANA NAMIBIA SOUTH AFRICA ZAMBIA
What do you think? Are they pretty? Does Miss Nigeria stand a chance? Are beauty pageants daft and a waste of time?

OMO T

Here is the Omotola music post that I promised…… Omosexy (I felt so silly typing that) is a leading Nigerian actress and ‘musician’….I say “musician quote unquote” because I have listened to Omotola’s album and hmmmmmm
I’ll let you judge for yourself…..
Here is a sampling of her album:
Gba
Dance Feat Ruggedman
Things You Do To Me
Baby Girl (Dedicated to her first daughter)
Video for Dance Feat Ruggedman
I have to say that the production is top notch!
Well, I admire Omotola for pursuing her dreams.

Does she deserve the nickname ‘Omosexy”? Should Omo T run away from the music studio and return to the movie sets? Thoughts?

AGBANI IN ESSENCE

Our favourite Ex-Miss World, Agbani Darego was featured in a fashion spread in last month’s edition of Essence Magazine…..By the way, she looked really gorgeous….
Agbani is still signed to Next Model Management which is arguably the World’s top modelling agency after IMG……
Anyway, its good to see that Agbani’s modelling career is still flourishing. Some Nigerian press had reported that her modelling career was basically dead but that’s obviously not true…..I guess that lil' flash worked after all.....

Here are Agbani’s pics from the spread….


As always, good luck to her….
What do y’all think?

DARE ART-ALADE

I’m sooo sorry this is late……It’s been crazy, you know the story…thanks for all the comments and well wishes.....
Anyway, I’ll make up for it!

Dare Art-Alade is a Nigerian musician and former radio personality. He was a contestant on MNet’s Project Fame a couple of years ago and did pretty well. Anyway, Dare has finally released his debut CD – “From Me 2 U” and in my opinion, its hot! People have been complaining that the CD doesn’t sound ‘naija enough’. I personally disagree, I think he fused different sounds to come up with something unique…..Anyway, here are some samples so u can judge for yourself….

I know a lot of ladies quite fancy Dare so I have to let you know that Dare is allegedly engaged. If you are feeling a lil’ sad bout this news here is a highly unattractive PIC of Dare to help you snap out of it….lol
Anyway, Buy this CD! I wish him the best of luck!

You can read an excellent review of Dare’s album on Trae’s blog
Check out Dare’s website HERE

Thoughts?

2 BABA

Our favourite ‘2 Baba’ as he calls himself is back with a new track.
I’m sure you are wondering what ‘2 Baba’ means; Well 2face is the proud father of 3 children by 3 different women within the space of a year (He also featured in safe sex ads targeting Nigerian Youth....hmmmm...I can see he took that advice seriously).
For now, 2 of the kids have been ‘claimed’ and he is still trying to confirm the paternity of the third therefore, lets say that child is ‘awaiting confirmation’.
Anyway, he has a new track that is heating up the radio. Its called “For Instance”…….The song isn’t as hot as his previous hits but it’s alright. That’s just my opinion.Anyway, you can listen to the song HERE
Unfortunately, it’s not available for download yet……but I’m working on that.

Did anyone catch him on tour? How was it?
Have a nice weekend everyone! I am moving this weekend…..From Monday, I’ll be joining the ranks of those who are gainfully employed….hopefully it will be fun!

QUESTION - ?

Can someone please tell me what is going on with Zeal from Styl Plus' hair?
Its scaring me......

OMOTOLA

Here are some pics of Omotola from a recent cover shoot for True Love West Africa Magazine (I love this mag….)
I think she looks really stunning here especially for someone with 4 children…..I had no idea she was that pretty…..I like her, I also admire her husband’s unwavering support despite all the bad press and gossip.

On another bright note, Omotola recently joined the ranks of Angelina Jolie when she was named a United Nations Goodwill Ambassador. As part of her role as a UN Goodwill Ambassador, she recently made an official visit to Liberia on a peace mission. Lovely.

HERE is a link to her official website
I have another post on Omotola’s music coming soon….

Side Note: Thanks to everyone who has visited so far! Don’t be a silent visitor; I really would appreciate any comments!!! Cheers!

Wow, I would like to apologize if I ever questioned the investigative prowess of my naija brothers and sisters…..its too mad oooo…
An anonymous comment poster on Adaure’s blog managed to locate John Legend’s babe, Tayo’s Black Planet Page…. LINK

MY NAIJA GUY – Introducing Angelica

I just heard this song yesterday and had to blog about it
Angelica is a new Nigerian musician who has been building some buzz recently….
She has a song and video out called “My Naija Guy”.
She basically talks about how naija guys are underappreciated, deserve praise and have to be celebrated…..
I like the song and it promotes a unique sentiment….
Here is a pic of Angelica, I have to say that her weave is ‘interesting’……in fact, this is not just a weave, it’s what u call ‘weave-oooonnnn'
You can see other pics on her WEBPAGE

Click HERE to download Angelica’s “My Naija Guy”
Here is a LINK to a video she did for the song “Na Wetin” with Sir K, Ramsey Noah and Segun Arinze (The song/video is hella funny)
Here is another link to an INTERVIEW that she gave recently
I’ll be buying her album when it gets released…there are so few female naija musicians so gotta support the babe…
Anyways, I am also looking for her song called “Shake Body” Feat BigLo so if anyone has it please send it to bellanaija@gmail.com. Thanks!

What do you think bout the song? Angelica’s weave-oooonnnn? Finally, r “our naija guys” unfairly misrepresented and underappreciated?

I am starting my first post-graduation job on Monday next week
This job is in a new city that I have never been to
I have not packed my stuff
I have not booked my plane ticket
I have not gotten an apartment
Yet I have blogged…..
So much for priorities!!!

WHERE IN THE WORLD IS NNENNA

Many of us who watched America’s Next Top Model Season 6 fell in love with Nnenna Agba.
In my opinion, she was stunning, serene and very humble.
Anyway, a lot of people have been wondering what happened to Nnenna ever since she was eliminated from the show.
Well, I found out that Nnenna has regrown her hair, moved from Texas to New York and has been signed by MC2 Model Management (Formerly Karin Models). That’s good news because MC2 is one of NY’s top modelling agencies.
Well, I wish our dear Nnenna the best of luck!
Hopefully we will be seeing her in Vogue or at least Essence or Vibe Vixen very soon.

Here is a link to her Myspace profile so you can hola at her.
Nnenna’s Myspace

Do you think Nnenna has a chance in the crazy world of NY modelling?

GET IT WHILE IT’S HOT – John Legend dating a Nigerian Model

Yeah, u heard right….John Legend is currently dating a Nigerian Model named Tayo Otiti. Tayo is a model with top modelling agency, Wilhelmina. John and Tayo are apparently really serious, on her birthday, serenaded her by singing “Happy Birthday” over dinner at Garden of Ono and did it again at Marquee. Apparently, all that birthday crooning was enough to land the gist on the pages of New York Post’s highly influential Page Six: See story HERE and HERE. Here is a pic of John and Tayo.

All I have to say is “I hate her”…lol…naaa I don’t. Good luck to them oooo….I hope this lasts longer than John’s previous model relationship with SI Supermodel, Jessica White who appeared in his “So High” video.

BTW did you know that:
John graduated from the Ivy League University of Pennsylvania when he was just 20?
John majored in English, with an emphasis on African American literature and culture
John then worked with one of the world’s top consulting firms, The Boston Consulting Group before leaving to work with a non-profit then ultimately music…..

Tayo is a lucky girl….
What do u guys think?
Do you hate Tayo too? lol

NOKIA FACE OF AFRICA 2006

Here are the 2 girls that will be representing Nigeria in this year’s Face of Africa competition.
They both look fab (okay….one of the girls looks a lil’ bit manly but….)
Anyway, M-Net recently revealed that the winner of the 2006 competition will receive a 3 year, US$150,000 modelling contract from Elite Model Management New York.
Good luck girls!!!!

Aisha (Nigeria) - Born on November 2, 1984 in Lagos, Aisha Danjuma stands 1.76m tall. A student who speaks English, Yoruba and Hausa, her role model is Nigerian model Funmi Iyanda. In her own words Aisha admires Funmi for being ''very independent'' and ''an epitome of Africa beauty.'' And asked to describe herself Aisha says that she is ''simple, God-fearing, smart and adventurous.'' A fan of designer Zara, Aisha’s favourite color is blue.

Ishioma (Nigeria) - At just 18 years of age, Ishioma Onyebo is already a real go-getter which is summed up by her approach to life, ''forward ever, backward never!'' A supporter of Nigerian talent (including designers Dakova and Deola Sagoe), Ishioma says that if she makes it to the NFOA final at Sun City, she’ll be ''on top of the world''. Blessed with a sense of humour, Ishioma has two sisters. She entered the Nokia Face of Africa because she wanted to fulfil her dream of becoming a supermodel.'' Ishioma speaks English, Igbo and Yoruba.

My babies r playing today.....Go England!
BTW, the Italian team has got to be the hottest collection of men I have ever seen...lol....

UPDATE:
All I have to say is WOW...Becks injured, Rooney SENT OFF......then PENALTIES!!
It was crazzzzzzzzzzzzy.........I sincerely bit off all my nails.....
Anyway, u all know what happened........

SCANDALOUS

So, lets start off with a bang…shall we…I know this is old news to some people but..A couple of months ago, Agbani Darego the Nigerian former Miss World and Most Beautiful Girl in Nigeria participated in the UN Catwalk for Food Show in Lagos. It featured clothes by Deola Sagoe’s Odua Creations and was a fun show for a good cause. Other Nigerian models such as Oluchi, Ojy and Funmi participated as well…Here are some pics from the event:

That was all well and good but now the DRAMA….Agbani bared her boobs during the show…..for anyone who follows fashion, boobs on the runway are nada new but the Nigerian newspapers went crazy, labelling her as a ho, insulting her parents etc...….See Article Here. Other models wore very revealing outfits but no one faulted them. Anyway, what do you guys think? Is it justified? Was it necessary for Agbani to unleash her boobs in lagos? Does she have nice boobs? lol………Here is a pic for ur assessment. Please this is not an explicit site but you need to see the evidence to judge right? Do not click at work….VIEW HERE

WOW WEDDINGS

Right now Adaure is featuring an assortment of wedding websites on her blog. Check it out.I checked them out and its giving me wedding fever for real….I recently came across pictures of Sylvia Edem’s wedding (she is a former Miss Nigeria).Anyways, what sparked my interest was the fact that she had a horse drawn carriage at her wedding….Yes u heard right..
