So you’ve seen all the glam from the Africa Magic Viewers’ Choice Awards 2015, but what you haven’t seen is how some of our favourite stars got ready!
BN is giving you an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at the AMVCAs – Yesterday we showed you Dakore Akande‘s Red Carpet Dress selection process via the Zinkata Red Carpet Challenge; and today, we get to follow actress Oreka Godis as she got ready for the big event.
You also get to see EbonyLife TV presenter Lamide Akintobi who also rocked with the same glam squad.
We not only get to see the inspiration behind their stunning Peridot dresses and Oreka’s regal natural hair low chignon bun by Dupe Talabi of TasalaHQ; but also the creation of their makeup by Banke Meshida-Lawal of BM|Pro, and an inside glimpse at what really went down at the AMVCAs.

I’m not sure I have the words to describe the crush I have on this Oreka girl. By all means not the body or the dress. Its the eyes people. The eyes! And for those you’ve been equally blessed to hear her voice; pure heaven.
Strolls away…
I wear my hair in its natural state so I am a sucker for anything about natural hair….Oreka’s hair is ahmazing….I am going to try this style….i never thought about adding natural extensions so this is really neat….i love it
Please can someone share the details for this hairstyle. Is this like a pick and drop using kinky ‘attachment’? You tube references will be appreciated.
Please help a desperate sister out.
It looks like something with kinky attachment definitely. I will look for a YouTube tutorial for me and you cos i want to do it definitely.
Hello, i also want to do this style so i went to Youtube and found this video youtube.com/watch?v=N7bL9HPUOZQ…….I am not too crazy about the style in the video but at least i have an idea how Oreka’s hairstyle was achieved. I will try it on myself…hope this helps….
Here’s another one youtube.com/watch?v=nliu1GuzGwU
@ Beeeee, thanx a lot beau
I AM OFFICIALLY IN LOVE WITH OREKA!!!!!!!!!!
I just want to lick her skin!
Oreka Goddess!
My faves! They both looked lovely. Ladies, please do not forget to wear your seat belts in the future.
Both ladies are super gorgeous. Banke nailed it with their makeup. Each girl’s look matches their personality.
Lovely lady, lovely dress
Lol,see d way dem dey pose lyk say na wedding pic. Luv oreka’s look. Finallyyyy,lamide made her hair. Thank goodness
Nice idea. God is good.
I love love Oreka. She is my bestfriend in my head. Such a breath of fresh air. #womancrush
Oreka’s whole look is the TRUTH! Well done….
Nigerians can pose and show off shaa..all about clothes make up and other trivialities. Shallow shallow shallow. Seeing these ppl no one will know that ppl are suffering and cannot even afford 3 square meals…the disparities are incredible…
How is this a showoff when its a joint effort between her and the brands support her to market their services and goods?
Wow.
Make up can really transform. .they look so basic without it
you’re a sad human being. would love to see what you look like in the morning dear.
The looks feel so effortless on the 2ladies, awesome work. @BN, for some reason, i thought we were going to see the whole process just like you shared with Dakore.
Angel swag
Great video and songs. I’lld love to see more of this kind of video. Nice one Oreka and the team
See Oreka, I have been waiting for you all my life. That your fine looking ass(yes, I saw it in the reflection) is gonna be mine someday. If you have a boyfriend, advice him to pray and fast everyday because, I am coming.
