I have watched every single episode of Tyra Banks’, ‘America’s Next Top Model’ since the first cycle so you can imagine my level of excitement when I opened this month’s issue of True Love West Africa and found out that ‘Next Top Model’ is coming to Africa!
Nigerian Supermodel Oluchi will be the host of the West African version of ‘Next Top Model’. See more details below.

Please can anybody tell me the channel to watch the next west africa top model. am a lover of showbiz and modeling in particular. Oluchi Kudos to you for bring this kind of show to africa and Nigeria in particular
Ok so why in the Ham & Eggs are they looking for Girls in London and New York?
Is it not supposed to be “WEST AFRICAS NEXT TOP MODEL”,

abi all the fine fine girls from West African no sabi model
No wonder it did not take off!!
Abeg help me ask her o!!!even if she is boring she can bring a different side of her to the show . no one would have ever imagine that tyra banks would act up like that.don’t judge plp u don’t know .
its not even oluchi’s voice i am worried about, i can live with the fact that her voice is deep-set, its d lack of life that i can’t take, she is so BORINGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG.
u no the girl,how u take no say she dey boring,she was the host of face of africa ,and she did a good job.and that is the main reson they gave her the contract to host wafntm.
Diana, this site is not meant for u, mama too sabi
Wow! I’m so excited ova dis. I can wait 2 watch it coz I’m really interested.
its really cool to have d show come 2 west africa. culd u post more details about it cos im really interested.
Please, please post the videos when WANTM begins! Being the US w/ no cable – i’m sure I will not be watching via television! And as someone getting tired of ANTM, I’ll be glad to see something new
I love our continent but one thing that seems to bother me is that we are all lumped together as if we are one tiny country – which we AIN’T! So, why ‘America’s Next Top Model’, ‘Canada’s Next Top Model’, Britain’s Next Top Model’ and even ‘Australia’s Next Top Model’ but we get ‘WEST AFRICAN NEXT TOP MODEL’ and we’re supposed to be fine with that?!
Like Bella, I have watched every episode of ANTM so I am happy it’s coming to Nigeria, but what happens to the other African countries, eh?
