The February magazine covers are always extra special or should we say, extra spicy. For many, February is the “month of love” because of the Valentine’s Day celebration on the 14th.
The first February magazine cover to hit our mailbox in 2011 in for Mode Magazine.
Mode has chosen Miss Nigeria 2004, Ene Maya Lawani as their cover girl. According to the headline, Ene represents a “Sexy, Single & Successful” Bachelorette.

Linda ikeji,wat re u doing it that glass on a red carpet??
They all have beautiful outfits.and something is just not right about the picture of d girl on the cover.I’m not feeling it
Nice! Anyone know if that’s the same Praize who sang on M.I’s epic?
all na ibo there na – barely saw any hausa or yoruba names. not tribalist but just an interesting observation.
Not suprising as they are the ‘jews’ of nigeria in terms of their inherent economic and business acumen.
uhn..? ….lyk really?! SMH
Maybe she’s been thinking about that analysis for ages and really wanted to use it somewhere. Jews of Nigeria? Interesting point, but that was a stretch.
na wa o!how did you people make such an observations???
na wa o!how did you make such an observation???
@ Lil Mama: you are so tribalistic, it’s disturbing!
@ Lil mama: So, Bunmi Ademokoya, nike oshinowo, Funke Olufon, Lekan Balogun, Mallam Nasir, Omolola Itayemi, Lina Ikeji, 2 people called Bukky, Lanre Curtis, Mandy Brown-Ojugbana, Akpokabayen, Ayoola Ogunlade. and Obong Idiong are all IGBOS ABI??….mtcheeeeeeeeeew!
Linda Ikeji is Igbo, from Imo State.
her last name isn’t a typical Igbo last name, but she is.
LOL!!!!
She’s pweety…Linda looks good.

Cover girl: SEXY, SINGLE and successful. You go girl, no better way to advertise your availability. hehe…just messing about!
praise’s looking alrite. Didn’t understand Bryan’s date/seat mate’s eyepencil sha oh.
Omolola Itayemi….that’s a fantastic shot of you!! Could be the cover of the magazine as well.
Stella darling, i love you but you need to stop wearing garments and colors that make you look fluffy.
@ Lil Mama. I hope one day we will be happy to see all Nigerians sucessful and moving forward regardless of their ethnicity and place of origin. I guess one ibo person is one too many for Lil Mama. Its a shame, may God help you
FINALLY. Nigerians dressing like people with mirrors. PRAISE GOD!
Linda your outfit is so boring….why not spice up your collection cos most of the pics of you i see are so dull…just an observation..
This is classical bravo
Word!!!!!!!!! u noticed there arent any other names but igbo’s…….ur kidding me rite?????ur not tribalist but ur statement is making u one…pls lets enjoy the pic and leave peoples last name out of it…..Naija i hail you
LOVELY! @ Lil mama…All I see is Nigerians.
Abeg the bachelors list come with telephone number??
lmao u wish..but dont some of us do also
(just kidding o)
true talk jarey. i hope it comes with thier phone number or wats d point of putting them on the mag so we can oh and ah?
@ Lil Mama, like are you for real? Didn’t you get the memo, its a new day and the ‘New Nigerians’ have moved beyond all the tribal jingoism albeit cleverly disguised otherwise……shio!!!
I just love the way they advertised Ene Maya Lawani as “Sexy, Single & Successful”. Its alsmost like a dating advertisment…hehe
cuddos 2 her though coz she is arguably all three. All those bachelors that measure up better start taking note o coz i do not want that cover to be in vain…hehe
Please people, who is this Lanre Curtis guy?? He is so gorgeous! Im in lurve………
He sure is one tall drink of water.(Fanning myself-gosh its so hot;need me a drink)….I love am before you o!! lol.
Its just a dummy cover,I saw it on face book.and really what’s wrong in being sexy and single?that doesn’t mean she’s advertising herself.you nigerians have a funny way of translating things,mscccewwwww
Why Are they using style to put Ene Maya Lawani on blast? She could have been sexy and successful
Bunmi and Ayoola looking cool! Love Ya, Yinka.
You ladies are too funny. What is the demography of the Magazine. Is it not a lifestyle Mag for Men?So sexy,single and successful is tilted to appeal to their male readers duh. But wait o what does Ene really Do?
thank you. pls som1 tell us.
Ene Maya looks really pretty on the cover, and i like how she’s sort of making a comeback after a few years of silence.
But, sorry had to ask,why is she being described as sucessful? Does she have a thriving business she runs? career that she’s excelling in? or is it just because she was a Miss Nigeria Seven years ago? What exactly is she up to these days?
No beef with the lady o, just curious
can someone pld tell us what she is successful at apart from been a miss nigeria for 6yrs.
lol!!! peopleee!!! u guys crack me up! oyah ene answer na…
Hmnn… The Lekan Balogun guy = dark chocolate. *wink*
Lovely pics!
pls wats miss lacacera wearing? lol @ her shoes and hair
Lekan Balogun- ooh la la!
Maybe if we buy the magazine we all will find out what she does, as we cant buy, those that can please come back and tell us what she does for a living(wink wink we sort of know)
Please oo…what does stan mokuro do??? and what does Praize sing??
Bryan Okwara (super sexy) says he’s not dating Bunmi?

business? LOL face or ruru makes her successful? well i’ll just shut up for now. Ene is not single and definitely not successful. she is sexy alrite
no beef oooo
Face of ruru,does a biz u cant lay ur hand on,let b realistic here when we want to point out an aunty as been successful 4 our kid to emulate,what u said is not enough.kids re smarter dis day.
We need to dress in Nigerian clothes, come on! we used to show Africa the way in terms being proud of ones heritage and culture . What a shame we’re beginning to turn bush people like East Africans always apeing white mans clothes
