Our Nigerian celebrities may be good at what they do that keeps us wanting more but they also possess the physique, charisma and personality to pull off the role of famous British spy, James Bond. These 6 dashing young men could give the likes of Pierce Brosnan and Daniel Craig a run for their money! Here they are:
Banky W
Olubankole Wellington is Nigeria’s king of R&B undoubtedly. His polished demeanor and unique personality charms ladies on per second billing! The EME boss and business mogul wears the best suits, rocks the best hats and poses with the sexiest ladies out there. Do not think for a second that his shiny bald head would tone down his sexiness, quite the contrary, now that we are used to seeing it(It took Mr Banky a while to unveil his head though), the only thing some ladies out there can think of is running their fingers across it. We can totally picture Banky taking his martini shaken not stirred, shooting at bad guys, driving exotic cars in exotic continents and charming the hair off ladies like Halle Berry. Yes we can!
Brian Okwara
Former Mr Nigeria, Brian Okwara is a stud in every sense of the word. He grabbed a hold of the limelight in 2007 when he won the highly coveted Mr Nigeria title and went on to represent Nigeria in the Mr World contest for the first time ever where he was able to reach the semifinals. Okwara is a top notch model, TV presenter and actor from time to time who has varied interests. Only 27 years of age, he hangs out with top fashionistas, actors and models and never fails to deliver on the red carpet. If you want a James Bond with rock hard biceps and abs that can pop out even in a three piece suit, Brian is your man.
Gbenro Ajibade
Gbenga is Tinsel’s super sexy bartender who the ladies just can’t get enough of. The Kogi born actor was meant to turn out as a doctor but he went to the university to study Biology education after which her veered into the field of acting. The soft spoken model who plays the role of Soji Bankole in Tinsel would sure make a great James Bond that’s for sure. Not only can he mix a good martini, he can drink one in an expensive suit while flirting with a gorgeous lady.
Uti
Former Big Brother Africa winner, Uti Nwachukwu acts, talks and dresses like a gentleman. Uti who works as a model, actor, TV presenter, singer and Twitter activist is not new to the Nigerian populace especially the women folk. He always appears at every red carpet event in well-tailored outfits that make him stand out in any crowd. He can communicate freely and openly and engages interesting conversation probably because of his charming personality. He can play Bond in a heartbeat if given the chance. Sadly, he is ‘off the market’ as he is currently dating rising music sensation, Saeon.
Joseph Benjamin
Joseph Benjamin is an accomplished model, actor, voice over artist and television presenter. He has a killer smile that gets ladies weak in the knees and that is probably why he has been hosting the MTN Project Fame show for several years now. Some people tune in just to see his face and hear him talk. The suave Benjamin has featured in numerous Nigerian movies where he stole the show with his excellent acting skills.
Lynxxx
“Its Lynxxx utunu!” Now that is one phrase that is capable of getting girls swooning in anticipation of the firm and exquisitely debonair Lynxxx. He is a true stud with a sturdy build and muscles in the right places. The Glo amabassador sports clean cut beards and up to 6 feet in height, something to give bad guys a scare if he ever gets to play James Bond.
