Actress and producer, Stephanie Linus’ premiered her Reality TV show, Make Me Fabulous on DSTV Africa Magic few days back and it was a blast! In the first episode, a married couple – Ifeoma and Tunde Asolo, had the transformation of their lives with a chance to bond and resolve their marital challenges like never before.
For a chance to be on this show, couples had to talk about their challenges on Stephanie’s blog www.stephaniedaily.com. This was Ifeoma’s challenge as she narrated it:
“I got married march last year. Had miscarriage in June and Nov last year! Stop my job, hubby is complaining that am getting fatter and also that I worry much about getting pregnant soon without caring about him! It’s really affecting my marriage!! I think I need this to take away some stress off us!”
Stephanie felt so touched by her story that her team contacted Ifeoma and her husband, Tunde for a fabulous treat. The couple was picked up from their home in style with a Porsche car, lodged at the prestigious Intercontinental Hotel, taken for shopping separately at the Mango store and TM Lewin, and had a joint spa session at BNatural Spa. Ifeoma herself got a style and makeover transformation from stylist Bubu and celebrity Make Up Artist Bimpe Onakoya that made her look so stunning, her husband Tunde could hardly recognise her. They also got gifts from LG, Swatch and Mango.
Some days after her fabulous experience, Ifeoma had this to say: “Make me Fabulous help improved my marriage in such a way that my hubby hardly complains anytime I have a mood swing, rather he will say ‘do youu need fabulous treat! And believe me, if I say yes, the rest of the day will be wow! It made us to realise that two of us are the most important persons in this marriage. Any other thing is an added blessing and he’s never stopped giving me fabulous treats!”

Actress, Stephanie Okereke-Linus and her hubby, Idahosa had this shoot for ThisDay style magazine.
The pool effort was done to bring hope and restoration to the women who had been living with this condition for varying period of time. The women had the repair surgeries done at no cost to them and their families.
Vesico Vaginal Fistula (VVF) is a serious disability that can be experienced by women after childbirth. They are holes resulting from the breakdown in the tissue between the vaginal wall and the bladder or rectum caused by unrelieved obstructed labour. The consequence of such damage is a woman’s inability to control the flow of urine or faeces. It occurs more often in young women during childbirth, as their bodies are not yet mature for the process.
The exercise which kicked off in June was a very successful one. The team of doctors carried out repair surgeries on 20 women whose lives had been adversely affected by this condition and it was so heart warming to restore hope and a chance at living normal lives to these women.
Aside from the surgeries, the foundation also donated surgical equipment and electrical supplies which was presented to the hospital at an event which took place at the hospital. In attendance was the Chief Medical Director of UCH Ibadan, Professor Temitope Alonge; Head of Department of Obstetrics & Gynaecology, Professor Ayo Arowojodu and the Chief Medical Consultant, Department of Genitourinary & Urogynaecology Professor O. A. Ojengbede.
The Extended Hands Foundation was founded by star actress Stephanie Linus who has been passionate about touching the lives of women with this condition for many years.
