Our very first twin cover features a young woman who needs little or no introduction- Linda Ikeji. An exclusive interview uncovers her rigorous journey to stardom and her immense relevance in Nigeria today.
Also featured in this edition are profiles of a few remarkable young people in diverse endeavors. The following made the list- Tunde Aladese (Head Writer, Tinsel), Ehizogie Okoeguale (Winner MTV Base VJ Search), Shalom Obi (Budding Supermodel), Dj Obi (Official Dj, Syndik8 records), Akanimoh Umoh (Sensational Artist), Anniette James Ekiko (AJE Filmworks) and Aderonke Adebanjo (On Air Personality, Smooth FM).
Our take on fashion in this edition centers on muted colours with a sporty feel. Another remarkable perspective is our tribute to literary icon, Chinua Achebe in form of a fashion editorial.

I duno why my spirit doznt jis go wif her.dnt like her
Breath taking!!! You look exquisite in the black dress.
Picture one looks like the wig (mop)was dropped on your head.looks uncomfortable, like you were trying so hard to be seen. not sure why that wasnt properly edited. For a classy mag like MANIA i expect a detailed editing of the pictures should have been done, like the roughened newspaper beneath your feet in the second shot. I must say you looked exquisite in that shot.
Hi linda!! my first time to comment on ur blog.. BTW ur pictures are hot nd plss post my comment ooooo
