    New lease of life for Omowunmi Akinnifesi

    Omowunmi Akinnifesi vanished from the social scene just when it seemed that she was about to become one of the most sophisticated and enduring ladies on the scene. The ex-beauty queen-turned-businesswoman and Lagos State’s Ambassador for the Environment seems to have opted for a low profile lifestyle.

    So conspicuous has been her absence that the social circuit is now abuzz with speculations on her whereabouts. In 2005, Akinnifesi was crowned the Most Beautiful Girl in Nigeria at the age of 18, making her eligible to represent Nigeria at the Miss World pageant in China the same year.

    At the global beauty contest, she shone brightly and also engaged in tree planting for the Chinese government. Today, Omowunmi, currently the CEO of Elle Poise, a public relations and usher-hiring outfit, has disappeared from the social radar to the dismay of her fans and high society.

    While she reigned as Nigeria’s beauty queen, no A-list event was complete without her as she dazzled all and sundry with her modish attires and stunning gait on the red carpet. As would be expected, her sudden disappearance from the social scene has given rise to rumours and speculations.

    One of the reasons former Most Beautiful Girl in Nigeria, Omowunmi Akinnifesi, is more than a mere ex- beauty queen is her versatility. Aside from being dedicated to environmental issues, she is a fashion enthusiast. Interestingly, the petite entrepreneur wears her diversity like a badge of honour and makes no pretence about her interests or holds out any apology for the choices she has made.

    One of the best dressed former beauty queens, Akinnifesi, who has remained relevant on and off the social scene many years after her reign, is currently out of the country. This probably explains her recent absence from the social scene in Lagos. She is said to have taken up temporary residence in the United Kingdom, where she is currently a student at the London College of Fashion.

    Akinnifesi is a graduate of the University of Lagos, where she studied Geography and Regional Planning. In 2012, she obtained a master’s degree in Environmental Monitoring, Modelling and Management from King’s College London.
