Not a bad list at all….hadn’t heard about most of the Ghanian and Rwandan talents. Anyways this list appears to have left the talents in America out. EMEKA OKAFOR is not on this list… I think he should be on it and since there are many tv personalities and entertainers Sal Masakela of E and AKON are also missing. Hmh…Bella are you thinking what I am thinking? Fill in the Mimi Gaps.

ok y’all am sorry to say but in my very humble opinion, I think 2face is waaaay overated, not that smart and frankly is not someone I would like to “represent” as a top young African… what he wrote a song ummm okay, its a really nice song but am sure someone else will come along and write another really really cool song… but till he proves otherwise, he is not on my list of Africans to look up to. K’Naan-yes, Liya HELLS yes, 2face-NO!
am sorry and yea I know we are all human and make mistakes and blah blah blah but for the love of J,J&M, rap it up!! dang, he is so not helping the “cause”… aside from other related issues, AIDS is now a black disease and if the so called ‘stars’ are not letting their light shine in a positive and beneficial way, we are all doomed… don’t get me wrong I think he is blessed and very talented but I like talent with brains… a mon avis
btw, very nice post Bella–thanks.

oh yeah..was so enthralled with Mr. MTV.. Mimi Mag is quite nice. My girlfriend is a contributor and she is one of us( Nigerian) so to piggy back off what Bella said, it’s really a great mix of bright minds from Mama Africa!

dunno a bunch of them, and maybe i’m just hating, but i’m getting tired of seeing genevieve everywhere…maybe i’m type casting, never really heard an interview or anything outside the movies about her, so my opinion of her is being clouded by the role she plays in most of her movies. kinda like regina askia from fortunes.

Alex Okosi is a real inspiration
I wish Mimi would find out about people who are making waves in other fields besides the entertainment industry.
A job for you Ms. BellaNaija perhaps? 🙂
And Mona MimiMagazine has been around since 2005, so I wouldn’t say it’s a new mag
