With the modeling industry growing rapidly in Nigeria, and with new faces showing up to the scene, we have been able to spotlight the models doing really well in the diaspora. For some time now, we’ve observed a tremendous growth in male modeling in Nigeria, in a country where it has always been the female models who were being put at the forefront of the modeling industry.
Now, male models have risen to the challenge and have begun to spread their wings across nations, bag international fashion deals, walk the most prestigious shows during fashion weeks, and get the recognition they deserve.
Today, we are highlighting the models to look out for in 2022:
