I started modelling as a cover girl for PM newspaper, then Sun newspaper, and then proceeded to NTFS (Nigeria Television Fashion Show) as a runway model- Bibitayo Bettinal

In a competitive Nigerian entertainment industry, one of the surest ways to stand tall and standout in this dog-eat-dog environment is not just only to be super creative but also to channel your creativeness into multiple streams generating buzz and money. If you are beautiful enough to make it as a runway model, you can also channel all the courage used to walk the runway into acting if you have a flair for that industry. This is exactly what this gorgeous lady is doing right about now. She’s even gone further by also making a name for herself in the fashion industry.

“My name is Bibitayo Bettinal, I am from Ile-Ife, Osun State, and the only female in a family of four. I’m a graduate of Mass Communication from Moshood Abiola Polytechnic, Abeokuta, Ogun State. I started modelling as a cover girl for PM newspaper, then Sun newspaper, and then proceeded to NTFS (Nigeria Television Fashion Show) as a runway model. From there, I went into pageants; I won Miss Ijaiye Ojokoro 2007, and then came out 3rd runner up for Miss Catwalk to Stardom by Yinka Adewunmi. I did some commercial jobs, and then ventured into the movie industry.

“My first movie was Iwalewa by Kabira Kafidepe. Then much later I featured in two soap operas namely, 2 Faces of Life and Hotel Matter. Not to forget, I also featured in Kampson and Neighbors by Uncle Tunji Bamishingbin, to mention just a few. I love acting and modelling but I also dabble into the fashion business. I have a fabric online business HAUZ OF BIBA that I manage… I guess you’ll be wondering if I am a jack-of-all-trades lol. I‘m currently working on my first movie and soap opera. Last year, I won an awards for ‘Young Entrepreneur Of The Year’ at the Young Entrepreneur Award Nigeria’. My company Hauz Of Biba is also the official sponsor for Africa Golden Award”
