When
17 year old Funmilayo Akinjuola and 19 year-old Damilola Okunola
enrolled in the Aquafina Elite Model Look Nigeria 2015 competition,
along with thousands of other contestants, little did they know that
their lives were about to change.
A
student of Horticulture in the Federal University of Agriculture
Abeokuta, Funmilayo is not new to the game. According to her proud
mother who was full of smiles, Funmilayo started modelling when she was
14, and has participated in several national and international
competitions like the Top Model World where she came 5th, Top Model
Nigeria from which she emerged winner, and Model for Models competition
2015 which she also won.
For
Damilola Okunola on the other hand, the Aquafina Elite Model
competition happens to be his first ever attempt in such a contest. A
fashion and hair stylist, Damilola is completely dedicated to building
his modelling career at even the expense of a University education,
which according to him, he can always come back to after he has ‘made
it’.
Now,
they both seem to have ‘made it’, having won cash prizes of $5000 each
courtesy Aquafina, the title sponsors of the event. In addition, they
also get a once-in-a lifetime chance to participate in the Elite
International Modelling Competition in China later this year, and an
opportunity to break into the superstardom of the international
modelling scene.
