BN Bytes: Stephanie Okereke’s Surprising New Venture! “Stephanie” – An Online Magazine; Her Fragrance, Wedding & new movie “Dry”
Posted on Thursday, April 14th, 2011 at 2:53 PMBy BellaNaija.com
In a few weeks, Nollywood actress, Stephanie Okereke will be unveiling a new venture. Following in the footsteps of actress Gwyneth Paltrow who runs lifestyle newsletter – GOOP and Jay Z who recently launched “Life + Times”, Stephanie will launch an online magazine named “Stephanie“. The web magazine is an expression of Stephanie Okereke’s style, cravings, projects, achievements, opinion and ideas to thousands of fans, home and abroad looking for a viable avenue to connect with her.
According to Stephanie Okereke, “We are building a community where everything you desire to know, everything you are curious about, everything in the works, everything that has been achieved is shared and celebrated…It’s a project I’m really excited about, I’m thoroughly looking forward to it as it will bring me closer to my fans, letting them into my world and sharing bit by bit info and gist on what’s happening in the world of showbiz. I wish for everyone who visits to leave and come back again refreshed, feeling more beautiful, more daring, and alive than before…I am working with an awesome team to produce witty, fun, right-in-your face, gutsy articles. Joy Isi Bewaji, my publicist, is a seasoned magazine editor and she will be bringing her expertise to the table. Yetunde Taiwo of ICY PR, based in Miami, is also an integral part of the project providing the kind of graphic interpretation the magazine should have.”
Along with the online magazine, Stephanie will also be launching her first fragrance and a new movie titled “Dry“. The movie is a thriller focused on Vesicovaginal Fistula (VVF). Finally, Stephanie is planning her wedding to her heartthrob, Linus Idahosa.

“The web magazine is an expression of Stephanie Okereke’s style,”….av neva classified her as stylish…i wonder wat style she is talking abt….
wow! thumbs up gurl! d wedding seems more exciting!
All i can say is that she’s beautiful.
since u are yawning u can do us a favor and just sleep..and go along with ur friend @faith
and i hope both of you are summa cum laude graduates..hiss
..this comment was to sola who said Stephannie is dull and to her friend faith for been supporters club.i guess BN removed the comment or sumtin
Stephanie weldone,wish u more success in ur career and a blissful wedding and marriage..
congrats but like STYLE as in style hmmm i rest my case
HATERS STOP HATING. GIVE IT 2 HER SHE IS GOOD. I CAN’T WAIT 2 SEE D FILM AND D PERF? HMMMMMM *SNIF*
Black beauty
wow she looks hot!!!!! … i wonder why she neva went into modelling with the height and all .. anyways am happy for her .. wish her all the best..
I think its coz she’s got knock-knees…otherwise she’da been a successful one i think…i like that she’s tall but with just the right amount of flesh – and she seems to be revamping her style…Go Stephanie, you rock!
What “knock-knees”? In case u hadn’t noticed. Oluchi is knock kneed, so are tons of models that strut their stuff on the runway in NY.
@Rachel,she modelled a bit.She was 2nd runner up on MBGN,cant remember the year dat was..
I,m all for this new passion in nollywood for entrepreneurship and branding, i am excited about the future, the way things are going China had better be scared.

Go Steph. Well done. I have come to the conclusion that the people that come on BN to comment have among them some of the most bitter and caustic people ever. Gosh! Does anyone’s effort make you happy for them or the way that Nollywood is putting Nigeria and indeed Africa on the world map of movie making and celebrity life style. I bet if styless(yeah its my own word sue me) Angelina Jolie does it, some of you will be the first to gush and celebrate her. In the area of negativity towards one another, Nigerian woman take the cake. HABA!! Go Bella, keep showcasing these great people. They are worth it!
impressive idea!!!!!!! congrat
I alway knew u 2 be a go getter, u r alwayz on d move. U will alwayz remain ma MENTOR.
This is great news Steph! Wishing you a successful launch and don’t rest on your oars. God bless
Steph! U’r d best.. I’v alwais like everything abt you….Keep the good work and awesome personality……u rock bbz!!! Muahhh
Ngwanu…… O_o
baby i love Ur courage and i love what your doing.am wishing u all d best in the up coming lunching.i will be happy 2 have one of the magazine.
i love it, keep it up
i really just love Steph! she seems to be in a league of her own.
Enuf said already abt the ‘style issue’ I think. Some of us are big fans/supporters of @Stephanie O. Personally I love her totally n think she is a great role model 2 d younger generation of artiste out der. Why don’t we all chill out till d mag is out n d perfume is in stores n then we all PURCHASE(emphasis on purchase) before we comment negatively or otherwise?. At least no one is bad mouthing the acting or producing skills,still unsure? then chk out thru d glass. Big ups @ S.O all d best in all your endeavours esp the wedding. *wink* Xoxo
go stephe, love it wen people with very humble begining turn out so successful.
stephanie you are gorgeous wish you more success in life.
congrats stephanie!
good initiatives,that is what I call the spirit of a focused Igbo woman.
u rock my world steph…..
love you girl….keep it up!!
hi dear more grease to your elbow we await your magazine
EXQUISITELY CHIC & CLASSY!! KUDOS..
wow! stephanie is such an inspiration. you dont see her everywhere doing everything, she chooses her projects carefully – nice one. she is the most consistent celeb on facebook, always updating and sharing stuff and cracking us up, that just endeared me to her. i think online magazine is the new rave (since physical mags in nigeria is becoming such a bore), online seems flexible and easy to access, so its a good thing a celeb is thinking of that. thumbs up, stephanie! I love your drive, I love your passion, and I think ‘Dry’ is such a fine name for a movie- reminds me of ‘Salt’ heehee! well done babes, we love you. Maybe, really, Nigerian youths are the ones that will save this country!
beautiful lady x
Gurl u’v always make us proud, go nd lunch ur mag God is wit u.
Steph, keep going hun, more power.
Congrats my gal, love u love u, love u,,,love the 2nd pic
Sounds good and exciting. Am so happy for her. But i hope and pray she too doesn’t sing oh!
thats 1 hot babe.i want to be like her when i grow up.
Bayelsa, Rivers state and NDDC well done. There is honour in getting contracts and making it work. It does not matter how you got the deals as long as you make it work.
see her likkle bony tush – its nice
Her venture is exactly what i have also been planning to blog about after i get my expensive DLSR in June (its on lay away and it aint cheap). It will be about everything BUT CLOTHES FASHION – i am sick and tired of every african blog fashion fashion – fashion ko fashion ni – and the thing is its so saturated nothing seems unique anymore – ITS BORING!. There are other lifestyles aside from fashion – there is photography, painting, cooking, Interior Decor and amass more. See all these yeye ppl will start copying (what most of my africans know to do best instead of using their creative minds) and following suit and switch once they see it. Kudos Steph am with you sha. I plan on launching my online lifestyle blog (minus clothes fashion) soon.
Awww you go girl..i agree with The Amaka…chick is in a league of her own. After New York Film Academy..Now this and a wedding???wow….she and Mr Linus do look great together, wishin them the best!!!!
Impressive….weldone dearie!
and CONGRATS on d weding in d pipeline…..
I’m excited she’s thinking beyond being a regular ‘Nigerian actress’ and is expanding on all fronts. Shame we think the best form of appreciation is pointless criticism…. It’s unhealthy, really.

now those shoes r hot wondering why noone has mentioned it
Kudos 2 everything she said, but as for perfume even Jessica Parker’s fragrance amongst others leave a lot 2 be desired imjussayin# Anyways lets give her a chance and see what she comes up with. I bet it won’t smell like all those highly opinionated perfumes from Kano.
Stephanie is totally Rocking that cream Akpos Okudu dress. HOTT!!!!
Lwkmd,fragranc?? Get ril gal,who wants2smell llik u!mshewwwwww
Wish u all d best on ur wedding nd congrat on ur magazine…..

nuff said,d chic is hot,i like her always have! y”all criticizing her i have 1 word for u: go and do ur own! she’s working,making effort and she’s hot and stuff! if ur only gonna diss her,get off dis page haterz!
She was a model and was among the top 5 ,when she participated in MBGN,can’t remember the year though.
Just to correct you on the Jay Z Website, its Life + times.
Steph!!!
congrats steph. keep uppin d ante!
Urm….can I please say….HOT! Never really been a fan but after reading this I am truely impressed! And I have to give BN kudos for phot placement….Hubba Hubba!

Whoever said women can’t be independent???
Nyc one Steph! May God see u thru.
Wow, those are ejiro amos tafiri outfits! That girl is going places
Hppy marryd life in advance…..
i love your style,there you go girl…….
the pics are breathtaking! Love u Steph…xxx
Oluchi Onweagab has got knock knees too but she is doing just fine. Point is a lot of people never got the chance and Stephanie is already way deep into acting and making money before this more grass root modelling began. Go Steph…you are doing good. Way to got, girl.
these nollywood celebs r copycats, sooooo, bcos u see kim kardashian, britteny spares and co. releasing fragrances……u have to release urs too? r there no other ideas? where is that spirit of entrepreneurship
Bella’s finally learning that Nollywood rules so she’s reduced on the negative comments. Cool, drive the haters elsewhere. Steph is one of the strongest women I know, to have suffered a terrible accident and marriage and come out with head held high in a society like Nigeria no be beans. Well done girl. May God bless and keep you.
Congratulations and good luck!!
Dat’s gud work n a vabrant achievement! Wishing u positive result in all ur endeavour as I wish myself lime-light in my carrier mostly my musiic project. Jar uplift us.
I like that and I wish you all the best, I would like to know if you have a ( prete-a- porte) boutique people could order online.
The girl is hot
congrats baby. i love seeing women pull such weight. u deserve all n even more. thumbs up girl!
Stephanie u’ re so beautiful.
Luv ur style dear! Kep it up… Dats a gud Idea
I luv u Steph, you are my number 1 Super Star coz when it comes to being friendly, u are d numba 1, when it comes to being humble u are also d numba 1. Steph, God will surely see u through in all your endeavours in life cos He knows the reason why He created you. SUCCESS STEPH!! Any one that try to come btw u and ur career will surely kick bucket. AMEN!!ONE LUV STEPH.
