The 2009 Future Awards has come and gone, and what an award it was. Well staged, well managed, and the turn-out was great. I had the most amazing time. Note to self, 'You have to start going to more events'
And no I didn't win...*cry* lol
In 2008, I was a nominee
2009, a finalist
2010? You never know, but you know what they say...three times a charm ;)

thanks linda..... ACE
ReplyDeletethanks linda.....ACE
ReplyDeleteIm sooo glad Funke Akindele "Jenifa" won!! She deserves it!! Her role in the movie was nothing short of fantastic and she's always been an excellent actress :-)
ReplyDeleteHope you win next year Linda!! We are rooting for you....xx
Is it my imagination. Men winning so much more than the women. I hope the Judges are not sexist like most things in Nigeria
ReplyDeleteAwww, well done to all particularly Lamide.
ReplyDeleteI love your dress. Personally I would never wear black shoes on a gold dress just cause I think it brings the outfit a couple of notches lower but you pulled it off. Fine girl.
me like ur shoes but not with d dress
ReplyDeleteI love ur dress,but the shoes and bag didn't work for me.You looked good though.
ReplyDeleteYOur dress is HOT!!! I think it would have been nice with an open toe shoe or something. Not feeling the shoe at least in that pic.
ReplyDeleteGood luck next year, was hoping you would win.
Hi 'X on legs' better luck next time.
ReplyDeleteIf I may, I think you you killed that dress...
ReplyDeleteI like Awards like this...There are some categories that I don't get though like :
Best Use of Advocacy
and
Best Use of Technology
Overall, I like the concept and the award...
I like the dress, but I felt that you should have wore different shoes with the dress, nevertheless, you look beautiful. I wish Asa won an award though, bcos she's a legend in making. I'm happy for Funke Akindele, she's a talented actress. I will have to see the movie, "Jenifa", I heard it's a good movie.
ReplyDeleteDon't like the shoes with the dress. LOVE the dress.
ReplyDeleteLinda U looking cool...but why u come wear dose shoes na?
ReplyDeletei am so so happy for Funke! Loove looooove "Jenifa"!....i cant get enoff of that movie!...."hoooouuush!"....bansassss bansaaas"...ok, lemme stop..she surely deserved the award str8 up. BUT, i dont understand the "Comedy" category. why wasn't all the popular names listed...AY (the biggest breakout of the year) atleast should've been nominated. I didnt hear n e nwii about omobaba, and he won??...hmmm!
ReplyDeleteNma
ur oufit is nice but i think d shoe took away from d overall look
ReplyDeleteHey linda, check out my blog http://www.dimejialara.blogspot.com and let me know what you think...lol, i know nothing about blogs yet, i'm still a novice.
ReplyDeletean upcoming designer beat linda ikeji??? TFA is beginning to loose credibility. Linda pls ignore them from now on and nice dress btw, just aint feeling dose shoes!!!
ReplyDeleteYou looked good, although the shoes didn't really work well with the dress. Better luck with the award next year.
ReplyDeleteI get disappointed anytime I see Asa not getting the recognition she deserves in Nigeria....the main award she won in 2008 was in France....but you can't stop a true star. She is definitely going places, with or without recognition in Nigeria.
linda those shoes are sooooooo wrong men!!! wat were u thinking? and that dress is not very age appropriate. im sure u could have pulled together something much better afterall i thot u were Nigeria's answer to Tyra Banks. no beef o but its just that i have never been impressed by ur outfits but u know i have got nothing but love for you!
ReplyDeletebetter luck next time darling!!
i saw u at the show and u were stunning girl, dont know what the fuss is about the shoes
ReplyDeleteThe Future Awards is definitely a nice concept. Altho, I don't get the comedy category too. Omobaba's win (not so sure about that).
ReplyDeleteNice dress too, Linda. U'll win next year.
I really agree with the comments about Asa. She's really not getting enough recognition in Nigeria. Let's hope that changes soon.
cute dress...
ReplyDeletethose shoes....no no no!, lol
u looked pretty tho
linda those complaining abt d shoes are lcal champs. that is wat u call an edgy look and u pulleed it off to me.
ReplyDeletethe shoes and bag--naaaaaaaahhhhhh
ReplyDeleteGirl, y would u do that to that dress? real pretty hair and dres but the shoes?!? nah mehn! na! peep toe 4", open side shoes, preferably not black or silver. nice dress tho. purse could have been a lil tinier or longer and satin looking.
ReplyDeletenice dress, but the shoes..... ur pretty so u could pull it off
ReplyDeleteactually i like the shoes, u look great
ReplyDeletecute dress-wrong occasion
ReplyDeleteok shoe - wrong combo
you can frind the profiles of Omobaba, Yagazie and others you dont know on the website www.thefuturenigeria.com!
ReplyDeleteoops! I was xpecting you to win well better luck next time,you've actually worked hard.thought you said you bought sleek hair for 25k how is it a gift???your dress is ok but you need to learn abt combination...shoe n bag is naw naw naw
ReplyDeleteLinda,you looked dashing.BUT,imost of your dresses are short,.we all know you have lovely legs.
ReplyDeleteNext outing,wear a long dress with or without a long slit,a long black spagetti strap dress will look good on you.then try wrapping your hair up for a change with dangling earings----change is good.
just try new thing,we r getting used to Linda n a short dress and her hair down,parted in the center .
Steven madden, how dare u embarrass me on the www?
ReplyDeletelol.
i love u guys, u always tell me the truth. thanks to everyone who thinks i look nice
@ace ure welcome
@bee bee, the hair i definitely bought myself. everything else is a gift
hard luck Linda, you will excel in the next competition. The picture of the day is supper. Girl you have beautiful straight legs...
