Ramsey, Basketmouth, Omawumi, Banky, Monalisa, Uti, Dami & Lola – Genevieve Magazine commemorates its 8th Anniversary with a Star-studded Issue!
Congrats to Genevieve Magazine! The lifestyle magazine founded by Betty Irabor is officially one of the longest running glossy lifestyle magazines in Nigeria.
The business terrain for magazines in Nigeria is immensely challenging and it takes a mix of hardwork, business savvy and grace to keep things going. BellaNaija commends Betty Irabor and the Genevieve team on this fete and wish them many more years of success!
The cover of this issue – the February 2011 “Walking on Sunshine at 8” issue features a cross-section of stars from different aspects of the entertainment industry: Uti Unachukwu, Lola Maja-Okojevoh, Bright “Basketmouth” Okpocha, Banky W, Monalisa Chinda, Ramsey Nouah, Omawumi and Damilola Agbajor.
Inside the magazine are exclusive photos and interviews with all the stars!
Here is the issue synopsis from the Genevieve team:
When you have a newly wedded rib-cracking comedian, a beauty queen with oodles of charm, a screen don, a beautiful actress named after a world famous painting, a singer whose vocals and stamina are reminiscent of Tina Turner’s, a suave R&B crooner with a grooming style that leaves him with a trail of enthralled female fans, a “Big Brother” millionaire and a gorgeous make-up artist as the cherry on top, what do you get? An awesome cover!
Expectedly, it was all laugh, giggles, glam and camaraderie at the cover photo-shoot marking Genevieve’s 8th anniversary… Interviews were conducted with juicy bits left in…
Photography: Oladipo Oladapo

I think Monalisa went to seek professional advise on hair styles and whoever that is her current adviser needs an award because this is so not the Monalisa I used to know. She has always been beautiful but in terms of hair, she has been surprising me sooo much recently! Thumbs up! She looks amazing, they all look fantastic! Congrats to Genevieve on its 8th Anniversary.. More grease to thy elbow 🙂

Damilola Agbajor is definitely looking/dressed better. Good for her. Oh and I think that’s who people are assuming to be Genevieve lol

wow…looks great. Genevieve magazine looks great. Does anyone know the photographer Oladipo Oladapo’s contact? I guess he is a great fashion photographer. The photographer rocks! Why dont we hear much about the guy? I think its great we have people like Oladipo Oladapo, kelechi Amadi-Obi, moussa moussa etc who can help us take photography to the same level with vogue, GQ, cosmo etc. I am proud to be a Nigeria.am gon subscribe to the magazine.

normally i wouldn’t spend 1000 on a cheesy woman mag but the cover picture drew me in and so i overcame the cheapo spirit. it’s a nice mag with a loyal following of sometype of wholesome woman. congrats to Genevieve magazine at EIGHT YEARS!!!
