Nice! Kudos to Mr. Obaigbena, And the ppl behind the Deaf orphans NGO.
Ozwald looks scrumptious. I really admire it when people in 'seemingly frivolous' business help people.
Sorry but that ThisDay festival sounds like a logistical nightmare. I have much more to say, but I'll keep it to myself, but my girl crush is Naomi Campbell, receeding hairline and all, I absolutely heart her.
Bella how do I email you a site? Thanks.
Moments like these make you so proud to be Nigerian...African, people looking to do something for a just cause, something positive.
As for ThisDay, thank God, I will be rocking it in D.C yup!!!!
I really look forward to watching Jay-Z again.He was the man of the 2006 festival.Thanks This Day.
Hey Bella,
I agree with you but being my spokes person Oluchi rocked it harder and her hair healthy. Thanks to Natures Gentle Touch.
Wow!

my comment was posted thrice??? dang!
soryy y'all...
loved the dress better on Yinka, Oluchi looked a bit too slim in hers.
Stumbled upon this blog today. Well done! I do not have much to say about the festival. To me it is a joke and does little to project real African culture and the African situation. Perhaps it celebrates the American-wannabe African culture which is emerging in most African urban centres now. I wish everyone well. But...poor Africa...
23rd! Lol.
I think I prefer Yinka's but I thought she kinda looks like Kate Henshaw-Nutall (sp). I'm not enjoying the blue on Oluchi.
i'm with adeyara on this one. how you gonna do a show to promote african music and have more african-american singers perform?

This was really intresting to see nice stuff really.
Too bad naomi was banned at Mandelas birthday celebration maybe it will help with her anger management classes
damn.
i really f with this blog. even though i feel like it's more for women. and that f is the shortened version of the profane word. because i see that disclaimer. but keep on rocking it. and let people know what's good in nigeria and on that whole continent. yzr.
love this post bella!
i'm back - Mona xxx
Oluchi looks AMAZING in that dress!!! Wow - so slim and subtle yet stunning! Simply beautiful. Yinka looks wonderful but she fills hers out more because she's not a runway supermodel!!! I have a purple tie-dye headwrap I used to wear like that - I have enjoyed wearing my hair natural since 2000. In fact I'm wearing my hair in two 2-strand twists now. Blessings...
Talking of fashion, Bella did you hear Tiffany Amber's (folake Coker) got kidnapped last week for a ransom of N50million? So you can no longer be safe and successful in Nigeria now? Wow!
