Do these people realise that this girl are skinny. It's a diff thing to be slim with curves and it another thing to be so skinny. |

Models that win beauty competitions are usually skinny and tall. Oluchi onweagbu and Agbani Darego are both skinny, though these girls appear even more so. My favorite is Opeyemi ![]() |

One thing I noticed about the judges' choices is that the girls were not particularly pretty. They have very strong African features and rather very dark skinned. Kinda like looking like they were carved out of wood, you know like a work of art. This competition is not your regular beauty pageant. They are looking for models and you know what them supermodels look like....intriguing, and yes you can't help but look.I guess they are looking for natural beauties too....cause the contestants were made to clean off their make ups so that their true beauty could be seen. |

(How come they are all Yoruba girls?) None of them is even fine sef. Anyway, they are not judged by their faces. |
