yea pretty models …unlike F O A
hian! fine fine girls oh. goodluck
Wishing the models all d best. May the best one win
so.. why do they all have long flowy hair? they are beautiful but sure wish they would stop portraying beauty by accentuating “western” physical features instead of our true features… afro puffs lol… we gotta love us some true African Features!
Oh shut up already!! People like fake hair…u cant control or change it so deal with it or leave them be..Damn!!
That is the norm in nigeria and models need to appeal to the masses…
you go girl …………….. @chizobar alieze..
these gurls fine o.
Bella Naija pls upload/upgrade us with Kim Kad’s Wedding pix. u did the Royal wedding and this should’nt be diff. luv u guys!

Good luck to all the finanlists, they’re all super gorgeous. Black is beautiful
@ love-me-jeje. From what I heared on E! today, the picturescannot be used by anybody yet until the E! Speciial on their wedding which I think is on Sunday.
theres nothing wrong in wearing fake hair but deez gyals all look the same . . . some would probably look better with short cutz or natural hair. get it. for example Amber Roses hair before was long, n she wasnt hot or exotic looking till she cut it.
ok… People stop lying! is it me or all these girls look sickly thin! *yuck*
Seconded!!
pretty people…may d best “girl” win!!!
lets be greatful that the texture looks kinky straight
One word: HUNGER.
Nuff said! Lol,
Nice gals
they all kinda look alike
It took models dying for d western fashion world to wake up to d dangers of anorexia…let’s pray we do not have to experience it to learn d dangers of allowing dese young girls to starve demselves so much dat it even affects der reproductive system later in life! Ekwucham!
God! the girls are wow with big WWW, my baby pet wishes her dearest friend Rita Ojo Oliva best of lucks and she says she is always and will always continue to pray for her. the best girl should win anyway from me. 08037881796
Oghale Obi wishes Rita Obi best of lucks, success girl!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i think the idea behind the identical looks is to see who stands out even as a blank canvas [as Tyra Banks would say]. the first girl on the left squatting has some smouldering looks! Wish them all good luck
i agree
