HIGHEST PAID MODEL IN NIGERIA...ME?

I have been going through some blogs and a few of them have mentioned me once or twice. It was humbling reading all those articles..didnt know I was quite popular on the net. There was this particular aricle i read that made me stop to ponder...highest paid model in Nigeria..Linda Ikeji. I know alot of people will be wondering if i'm really the highest paid model in Nigeria. I once was..when i got half a million naira for a two year cosmetics contract i did in 2003 and the three hundred grand i got that same year from the MTN advert i did. But that was 3 years ago. There are other models who have earned more since then. Like the current face of MTN, Moses, he was paid close to one million naira for the MTN adverts he did. And there are a few others who have surpassed my 2003 800grand. So i'm officially no more the highest paid model in Nigeria.

I haven't signed any new contract in recent times. After i left university, i started my company. This was in 2004. Running my own business and being my own boss became more important than going for castings and lobbying for jobs. I had 2 agents i used to work with, i havent spoken to them in a while..for some reason the fun wasnt there for me anymore..after 7years of active modeling, i felt it was time to move on. So i started my very own modeling agency called Blackdove models Mgt. Its barely 2years old but i can say we've been very lucky as some of our models have done some really mouth-watering jobs.

Sometimes I miss the photosessions and the runway but I quess life goes on. Fortunately i enjoy what i do presently and I'm extremely passionate about my magazine...just watch out people...FM&B magazine will one day be compared with the likes of vogue, cosmo etc lol. say amen for me..Amen
