On the eve of FEW Models‘ continent-wide model search competition, the leading Nigerian model agency got featured on American Forbes.
The founder Bolajo Fawehinmi in the feature speaks to Forbes’ Declan Eytan on FEW Models’ forthcoming model search competition in collaboration with IMG Worldwide, home to the likes of super models Gigi Hadid and Gisele Bündchen.

Bolaji said;
The first time I got in touch with IMG was last year. They approached me after stumbling upon a picture I posted on Instagram, of one of our girls.
Following a partnership with IMG, I now scout for girls not just in Nigeria, but also in other parts of West Africa. I’ve gone to Ghana as well as Côte D’Ivoire, scouting for girls. This competition is open to girls from all over Africa, so hopefully we’ll also see girls from Senegal or other parts of the continent. Girls scouted abroad, which may not be able to finance a trip to Nigeria for the casting, shall be sponsored in case of serious interest.



She added;
My main reason for opening Few, was that I wanted to celebrate the type of beauty which is not typically celebrated here in Nigeria. This morning for example, while driving to work I saw this girl walking who’s very beautiful. I parked my car and ran up to the public transport to catch her. Her mom was shocked, since most people here wouldn’t necessarily think of her daughter as beautiful – they need to start thinking outside the box

  The Synagogue Church of all Nations (SCOAN) has countered the BBC documentary on the late Temitope Babatunde Joshua, known as TB Joshua, founder of SCOAN. SCOAN described the documentary against TB Joshua as unfounded, and that the characters interviewed in the report were unknown to the church. The church, in a statement signed by its Public Affairs Director, Mr Dare Adejumo, said the statement was aimed at disabusing public minds from the report. The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) recalls that the BBC released a highly controversial and damning documentary on the late TB Joshua on Monday, accusing him of various crimes, including rape, against some members. SCOAN said, “BBC World Services investigative unit, code-named Africa Eye, came out this week with weird and strange episodes of atrocities against the late founder of SCOAN.” It said that to investigate and publish or broadcast reports was a central kernel of journalism, but to do so outside the ethics and fundamental principles

  The NBA has suspended former San Antonio Spurs guard  Joshua Primo   for four games   ... after it says it found he exposed his private parts to multiple women. The league announced the ban on Friday morning ... saying an investigation into the free agent revealed he had "engaged in inappropriate and offensive behavior." NBA officials called his actions "conduct detrimental to the league." They did, however, note that they "did not find evidence that he engaged in any sexual or other misconduct apart from these brief exposures." "Primo maintains that his conduct was not intentional," the league said. Dr. Hillary Cauthen , Primo's former therapist, was the first to  bring the allegations  against Primo to light after she claimed last fall that he exposed himself to her on nine separate occasions. Dr. Cauthen's attorney,  Tony Buzbee , alleged the Spurs were aware of Primo's actions, but didn't take action. Cauthen went on to file

 Sky Sports were left red-faced after an on-screen graphic mistakenly introduced Chelsea defender Axel Disasi as Noni Madueke on Tuesday night. The pair were both the scoresheet as the Blues thrashed Middlesbrough 6-1 at Stamford Bridge in the second leg of the Carabao Cup semi-final to boo their place at Wembley. But when Disasi spoke to Sky Sports after the game, an on-screen graphic introduced him as Madueke instead. Madueke is four years younger than his Chelsea teammate, plays in a different role and is English, while Disasi is French. Viewers immediately spotted the mistake and took to social media to flag up the glaring error.  Sky Sports with a huge mistake as that is Axel Disasi, not Noni Madueke,' another added, while a third described the gaffe as a 'howler'. A fourth commented: 'Sky sports calling Disasi Madueke. They’ve done it again.' Disasi scored Chelsea's third goal in the 6-1 rout, converting Raheem Sterling's cross at the far post after th
