ReplyDeleteYeah, I love Omotola's dress too. Beautiful! I'm glad she was looking great. Sometimes, her dressing makes me wonder...
ReplyDeleteBella, thanx 4 the pics. U make us feel like we were there.
Oh, and you need to correct the link to Latemi's blog. It has blogger's link in front of it.
ReplyDeleteTY Bello is ridiculously cute!
ReplyDeleteOMG!!! Im 5th!!! yayyyy!!!!
ReplyDeleteOh nice to see 9ice when an award...lol I just had to go there!!!
ReplyDeleteI heard the awards was loads of fun..congrats to all the winners...and damn did some of those peeps look HOT!!
Funmi Iyanda's dress....damn girl that body!!!..after a kid...I beef u plenty plenty.
Aww...Dakore and Olumide...so so cute!!!
Munachi no comment...the picture says it all.
Dare fresh...I like!!!
Essence the mop on ur hair..sort it out girl.
Nice one Miss Bella...on point as usual.
omotola..well done..u have stepped up your game in recent times
ReplyDeletety bello..simple and classy
dakore-love it!always well coordinated
wunmi obe-???
omowunmi A-it was hiphop award wats with the pink flowy dress
Ashionye-not suprised by the tasteless outfit!
funmi i-well done..nice
soul E- wats wit the red du rag
ReplyDeleteQueen Ure-????
Muma gee-was that her performing outfit or what she really wore?
Temi Olufeko-nice outfit..not feeling the heavy earing and necklace..with a neckline like that a necklace wasnt really needed..still nice dress
Girl in green dress with red piping-not feeling it!
I cannot believe Olu Maintain was dressed like that. Tsk, Tsk, Tsk
ReplyDeleteKenny st brown-not sure..maybe without the pants,d outfit would have been okay
ReplyDeleteD1's wife-those jeans are awful...badly put together outfit!!
Seen. I'm feeling the fact that someone cares enough to bring this sorta thing to the masses. Big ups. The event looked pretty dope sef. Its like Naij is doing big things on the entertainment scene
ReplyDeleteOkay i just properly went thru the pics now and abeg who is the guy who accepted his awards in shorts? Its not a bad look yeah but did he not get the memo? And who is Kween, she's looking like she can get wifed up
ReplyDeleteEveryone looked pretty razz except Ikechukwu, Naeto C and Dare Art.
ReplyDeleteThe ladies just didn't work it AT ALL. Dakore had a couple okay looks but nothing outstanding.
Miss Iyanda needs a new makeup artist and that Kenny woman shouldn't have worn those pants beneath.
The guys rocked, ladies sucked! Period.
Ahn ahn, everyone looks really good in those photos. Bella do you know where I can find videos of the naija v-monologues online?
ReplyDeleteBless you Bella Naija... dunno how you always manage to make these events look good on the net.
ReplyDeleteBella u too much.
ReplyDeleteI luv the photos
Good job. Keep it up.
LOL....No comment jare....It looks like they had fun...oooh and Bella email me..you will not believe who i met on monday....
ReplyDeleteKween: looks and reminds me of Erykah Badu in her appearance / outfit.
ReplyDeleteAshionye: fly girl.
Dakore: she looked good - tasteful.
Omotola: glam chic; reminds me of Vivica A Fox, if u know what i mean, she is now on point, that is, Omotola.
Tunde & Wunmi Obe: the couple reminds me of Ashford & Simpson, that is, the longevity of their relationship.
D'banj: looks somewhat different.
Ikechukwu & Nnaeto C: looks cool & laid back.
DJ Jimmy Jatt: tried.
They all looked good, some pple did stand out, though.
Kudos to all their stylists.
Bella... thanks, for keeping us updated.
a-ah. Basket Mouth arrange small. First time i've seen a Nigerian male celeb dressed in a respectable suit
ReplyDeleteMy faves - Funmi Iyanda and Omotola.
ReplyDeleteNice one Bella!
Thanks for the pics. I am not happy overall with how these "stars" of Nigeria were dressed. THERE IS A NEED FOR PROFESSIONAL STYLISTS IN NIGERIA. See, this an opportunity for all you classy, creative types to make some mula. And by stylists, I mean clothes, makeup, hair, etc.
ReplyDelete* Omotola's outfit was nice...from the knees up. Her shoes did not coordinate with the outfit and she does not have the best legs. She has funny looking legs with marks on them. A stylist would have put body coverup on those marks and her knees to make her less-than-perfect legs look better. That is what they do for Hollywood celebrities (and they are not perfect either).
* Funmi Iyanda was the best dressed. She has a smashing body that wears clothes well. I do not care for her garish makeup, though. It was too much and she does not need that much makeup. To me she is prettier without makeup than with makeup.
* Omowunmi needed to go home and change. That dress makes her look pregnant. She can dress better than that. I liked her hair style.
* Dakore has a nice figure and beautiful face. However, that green top and jeans that she wore was too casual for the event. The yellow top and black pants were hot.
* Munachi has a man-nose. It is bulky and ...ugh. How did she win the MBGN with a nose like that?
* Ashionye looked a hot mess. WTF was she wearing. This was a hip hop awards show not tea time with the Stepford Wives. The dress did not do anything for her. The color was wrong. The shape was wrong. The flowncy s**t underneath the dress was so wrong. Ashionye was WRONG!
* As for the men overall...B-O-R-I-N-G (yawn). Being a man does not excuse one from being fashionable.
Again. There is a need for professional stylists in Nigeria. How can these Nigerian celebrities say that they are stars and yet I on my student budget look and dress better than them? I am so not impressed.
Dakore has always been one of my favorite Nigerian actresses, im sure she did a great job. Who is that Obiwan dude? he's kind of sexy,lol.
ReplyDeleteoH! and d'banj needs to take those shades off. It's about time we start seeing how his face is.
ReplyDeleteAnon at 6pm, you r on point with your comments, telling it as it is.
ReplyDelete@ anon 6:00PM: "Munachi has a man- nose. It is bulky and ...ugh. How did she win the MBGN with a nose like that?"
ReplyDeleteI am thinking, it is never too late, maybe "you" will contest and see if you can win. You don't mind, do you?
It is so easy to point out pples "supposed" flaws when ours are looking us right in the face.
Anyway... that's u.
I like Munachi's courage and confidence.
Anything worth getting in life is about having the confidence and being courageous; it is not always about the physical...
The guests all looked fab.Very nice.They do a good job of representing.
ReplyDeleteDang what is Omotola wearing. Hair is a mess. But I love her still.
ReplyDeleteNigerian celebs REALLY need to get better stylists. I hardly understand what they wear.
Lawd Hammery.. Hot Ghetto Mess. What are they clothing themselves with?
ReplyDeleteDakore and Omotola r some of ur best dressed ladies?!....well i guess u can say that bcos there isnt really alot of choices for us to work with! Dakore wasnt really bringing it..looked way too casual.
ReplyDeleteDare Art kilt it! He looks like he just stepped out of "GQ" magazine, and he's cyute!
The blogger chick looked on point too!
Bikonu, wotta hell is Queen Ure and her husband wearing? This their tacky trend is starting to concern me. Her hubby stays dressing tacky...loud suits/shirts with matching doorags every friggn time.....The wig makes queen look older that she even is...much different from the queen we saw at Aunty Funmi's interview.
Nma
This Ashionye girl did not take my advice before ..... ur stylist hates ur ass. she always looks like an ara oko.
ReplyDeleteAnonymous @12:43 You sound offended about the Munachi comment. She DOES have a man-nose. Period. This is a beauty contest. If you put yourself up as a beauty queen, get ready to be judged. If you don't like it too bad.
ReplyDeleteAnonymoust @12:43
ReplyDeleteIf beauty contests are not about the physical as you put, then WHAT are they about? The spiritual?
Soul E and Mammy Ure oops "Queen" Ure! WTF? Saw the video and thot what a cute couple...now about a month later he is still sporting the RED ghastly Dorag and she disappointed me actually looks like Soul E's mum! Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy? She is so hot! Please don't this again Ure. You will be fined and ps when Soul E is sleeping run and burn that Red Do-rag!!
ReplyDeleteI don't know what Muma GEE was thinking with that dress.... I say TRASHYYY.....Nice to see full pictures from the award show....Good Job!
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I appreciate your comment on my blog. Thanks for stopping by
