How long have you been modeling?

I’ve been modeling professionally for slightly over a year and within that period I’ve done a couple of jobs for Doveland International schools Abuja Nigeria, I’ve also worked with Makeup empire and a couple of photographers and makeup artists for personal projects to mention a few. My goals as a model are to do a lot covers for magazines both locally and internationally. I look forward to doing a lot of corporate jobs, major campaigns.

The pains and gains so far:

The sad thing is that models are not getting the respect they deserve. The society is still indifferent to the career and most times we are being taken advantage of in terms of when we are to get paid for jobs done.  The gains, we definitely always find ways to survive and keep doing the job we love in the midst of all the chaos. Models are survivors.
