No folks, I didn't go through and count, just a neat little tool called 'ctrl f '. It took about 2 minutes.

Nna mennnnnnnnnnnnnnnn.. I would like an entre of Ugochukwu, a side order of Alex and Emeka as my desert!…. manly goodness all over!..na to pack my ngwongwo relocate back to 9ja!>.. who knew all these palatable delicacies full der…na yankee i come tanda! @ all oo..where is my ghana must go? i don waka!
Choi! See some Eye candies….. I don’t even know again. Yeah Alex is cute. But there’s something original about Nnamdi and Nelly.
Chinedu is cool to win!
Alex! Alex!! Alex!!!
Eye candy toh badt!!!!!!!!!!! Ugochukwu (last pic) does it for me o! I love a man who can fill a shirt…:)
thank you!!!
It’s between Alex and Kenneth o! choi! I shall so be there.
Emeka is d guy
yayy…………………..KK ah see you…………all the best
Sweet Alex deserves it
Some of these guys had ran for Mr Nigeria.
Excuse my gbaguan….. I’m using a psp.
am gonna have to say alex.. he is cute
Ugochukwu looks absolutely manly. I love it!
yhu really talk well jare!!!
Heeeello Ugo! Where do i sign up to vote? 😀
ugochukwu……..now dats sm1 i wud set P for….
Winner: Bassey, 2nd runner up: Bassey, 3rd runner up: Bassey!
That being said, Alex and Emeka are mad sexy! Wouldn’t hurt for Emeka to grow some hair though.Kenneth just looks like one area boy from Ojota. Lol!
I like Olaoluwa, Alex and Kenneth ‘s looks for modelling! Even though this is the only photo I have seen of Kenneth, it would be great if he could soften his face a bit. Lol. He is to fierce. He is lean (which is good) but he needs to work out more so that he tones up his muscles.
Alex looks great. He has a great body! Ughh!!! He is masculine and lean, has a fresh and young face, and a diverse look. You can make him look like a boy or a man. If he loses a little bit of weight and tones up his muscles a bit, I see him doing both fashion and commercial modelling. I love that.
Olaoluwa looks like a runway and ad campaign model. With proper grooming, I see him modelling (successfully) outside of Nigeria/Africa. Modelling agencies/ fashion designers in the West will like his look because he looks like a boy/ boyish.
Dear Santa,
Here’s what I want; when I wake up on Christmas morning I would like to find contestants number 1 & 10 under the tree. No wraping required! Maybe stockings only, I can manage that!
Thank u.
LOL. Santa me too ohhh
Bassey Edet really looks like an international model.
Emeka does it for me!
abeg dat bassey guy belongs in an ad campaign for calvin klein or ralph lauren. he’s got the looks of an int’l model.
@ebi nawa 4 english…lol nnamdi is cute
mmmm, yeah he is but he worries me a little (I see certain tendencies)…
but still he has something special about his look, a bit quirky but it works.
Bassey wld win without the head, looks like the head is photosop with the body, so take out the whole head and the body will do it for me, and Olaoluwa how old r u? r u not supposed to be in class (secondary school)……[email protected] i luv ur xmas wish, can we hv almost the same wish pls? bt mine is gonna be 4 and 10 🙂
Na Emeka de do am for me ooooooooooo!
its chinedu for me then agabi and finally nelly
Ah ahn!! See my igbo men representing!! Igbo kwenu! 😀

Alex and Emeka are my favorites. Look the most natural. Olaoluwa has that young boy look that works for a lot of American designers like Tommy Hilfiger, so he would be my sleeper even though I’m not all that sold on him.
Yeeeeeeeee….egba mi o. Ewo awon omo ibo boys to fine. Top 3: Alex, Kenneth & Ugochukwu. Abeg, where can I find fine boys like these in Ldn ejo?
Chai! See fine boys o. Alex all d way!!!
Dayyuum, all of these guys are ata rodos, whoah, lemme catch my breath. It’s gonna be hard picking a winner from these lot, I don’t evny the panel that has to choose or maybe I do… Alex is hott, loving Bassey’s jawline, it’s soo masculine. Kenneth is smouldering, it’s like he’s looking straight at me and only me, lol. Nnamdi looks like the most natural model and I totally love Olaoluwa’s high top fade, he looks like a Benetton or Topman model. In the end I think it may be a toss up between Olaoluwa and Nnamdi but who knows really, it’s anyone’s game.

CUTE BASSEY…..
Quit squabbling girls. The winners should be between Alex, Emeka and Ugochukwu. Without prejudice to your opinions of course.
Olaoluwa all the way! Jor o
by international model standards; top 3 would be kenneth,nnamdi and olaoluwa
some of those guys look familiar ohh yh, from Mr. Nigeria
wweeeeelllll, this is really difficult cos they all hot but for a fashion forward industry; i’ll put my money on nnamdi or olaoluwa. Do we have 2 vote???
Ugochukwu can have my vote from now till kingdom come 😛
Bassey and Olaoluwa are the freshest IHMO.
I have to be there tomorrow.. guys wont kill me
Alex or Ugochukwu can have my votes!!!!!!!
That’s if I’m entitled to more than one 🙂
Olaoluwa looks very fab, he will defiantly go far in the modelling industry ofcuz if he is interested, I can’t believe someone said he should be in class, secondary school!!!!!!! So when do you want people to start pursuing their career?? Alex, Emeka and Kenneth look good aswell. I don’t think the competition would be that tough, who ever wins probably deserves it…but I’m routing for olaoluwa, you look FAB!!!!
Is this a competition for only ibo bois or what? Apart from smoking hot olaoluwa all d rest re from ibo, what happen to our Hausa brother’s even the Yoruba’s. This loks like a tribe competition. smh
There are only 2 igbo boys guys here. Whats the big deal?? Maybe it is only igbo guys that attended the casting.
Laolu we are behind you.
olaoluwa has an african look,he doesnt look nigerian he looks african so, he could win.
lol, cool down; this is a model search. It’s btw kenneth, Nnamdi and Olaolu. olaolu’s flaw might be his height though. That said, goodluck to the three of them!
Alex, Nnamdi and Ola definitely!!!
Dream on.. Oyimbo modelling agencies in London will pick pretty girlie Nelly. He stands out as the unlikely Naija male but has styling potential. Hey, Nels, grow ya hair small na.
BN:….”And now to the part you ladies have been waiting for! Feast your eyes of some of Nigeria’s most dapper models.”
Only for the ladies ke? Ehm…bia BN, some MEN might also have been waiting for this na.
I bliv this pictures didn’t do justice to Nelly as I hav seenn his prev photos and he’s got the bone structures and edgy looks needed for the int’l modellin.. Go Nelly
ugochukwu exudes d confidence n poise a true model needs…and
those eyes…
@Ugochuckuw Hubba Hubba *lovestruck*
male model of the year, Bassey…he’s got what’s international requirements of a model.
on my list of fab models Bassey comes first because there’s something abt him that can only be explained internationally, Nnamdi and Emeka also are cool models.
