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.
