OMOWUNMI AKINNIFESI IS WORLD'S MOST BEAUTIFUL WOMAN!

Isn't it ironic that the Omowunmi Akinnifesi, the erstwhile most beautiful girl in Nigeria (2005) is now being 'christened' world's most beautiful woman? But really when it comes to female Nigerian celebrities with beauty and brains, Omowunmi's name comes close, if not closest. What do you think about the cover? The photoshoot is out of this world, the concept is ingenious and the quality very superb.

The Lagos State University graduate who just rounded up her Masters degree at King's College, London and currently working on policy for the Lagos government looks smart, cute, beautiful and elegant on the cover of Y! Magazine.

The Y!Naija team deem her an alternative to the international People magazine choice for World's Most Beautiful Woman 2013, Iron Man actress Gwyneth Paltrow!

COMIC ACTOR, BABASUWE LOSES LAW SUIT AGAINST NDLEA.

Curtains have not be drawn on the Babasuwe/NDLEA saga. The latest development is that, the Court of Appeal in Lagos, have ordered the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency not to pay the N25million damages awarded to the comic actor.

It would be recalled that the Yoruba actor was detained by the anti-drug agency for 24 days in 2011 on the suspicion that he ingested hard drug. And after he was proved innocent, in March 2012, Justice Yetunde Idowu of Lagos High Court Ikeja ordered the NDLEA to pay a whooping sum of N25m judgement fee to him within 21 days.

However, Babasuwe's lawyer, Bamidele Aturu has stated that they would appeal the ruling.
