She’s back! And already, she is taking no prisoners. Omowunmi Akinnifesi, who was Most Beautiful Girl in Nigeria 2005, has just returned from a 2-year public break, armed with a Master’s degree from King’s College, London and already busy working on policy for the Lagos government.
And with beauty, and smarts, and the will to boot, the Y! magazine editors have presented her as their proud alternative to the international People magazine choice for World’s Most Beautiful Woman 2013, Iron Man actress Gwyneth Paltrow!
“The global pop-culture shock at the decision coupled with an already seething defensiveness about the audacity of deciding on the world’s most beautiful female from the comfort of the United Kingdom inspired us to take the challenge – who would we choose as the World’s Most Beautiful Woman?” the editor, Chude Jideonwo, said. “Omowunmi Akinnifesi who, incidentally took the Nigerian version of the title eight years ago, came into the country just right in time.”
The shoot is photographed by Kelechi Amadi-Obi, directed by managing editor Adebola Williams, styled by Ebun Aboderin, with the profile by Wilfried Okiche.
The magazine also includes incisive op-eds on life and country by some of the country’s best, the Y! list of the Most Influential in business and politics, and an exclusive sit-down with the Ekiti governor, Dr. Kayode Fayemi.
This is rounded up with the best in the culture – music, movies, television, places, literature, radio, and some stunning fashion. “With 30 pages of fashion, and entertainment, go ahead and call it a bouquet,” Jideonwo said.
Y! is available in stores and from vendors across the country. It is also available at all House of Tara Stores in Lagos, Abuja, Ilorin, Port-Harcourt, Benin, Kano, Ibadan and Kaduna and Y! campus representatives in 19 states. You can also pay for the magazine with your mobile phone and have it delivered to you at no extra charge.
Details and more information are available on www.ynaija.com/magazine or via Twitter on @YNaijaMagazine.
You can visit the website for information on how to pay with your mobile phone, and have the magazine delivered to you.

God arrived this morning at my house. We spent some time talking and he held me because I was having a bad morning. I told him that you needed him too so he left coming to your place. When he gets to your phone, escort him to the next stop. Please dont leave him to “sleep” on your phone. The message he’s carrying is very important & it needs to go around. Say a prayer & pass him on to bless others. Our assignment is to love & spread the gospel thru out the world. Dear GOD, Please help all the unemployed, the sad, the sick, the hungry, the homeless, the hurt (emotional or physical) & all who suffer from some kind of disease, especially fear & hate. Have a blessed day & touch somebody’s life today in Jesus Name! Jesus has chosen ur cell phone to be a point of contact to touch someone today & tell them how much God loves them. If u love God & glad he woke u up today, then send this to all ur contacts and see how blessed u will be.
