Naomi Campbell

The Queen Of The Catwalk

The world renowned international model and still the Queen of catwalk till date, Naomi Campbell stunned the audience with her appearance at the THISDAY Media Group and ARISE News Channel end of year party. Being a good friend of the Chairman, Nduka Obaigbena, Naomi honoured his invitation to lend support to the event. In her speech, Campbell spoke highly of Nduka Obaigbena saying he was the pioneer of putting Africa fashion on the world map. She praised him for his herculean efforts to make such global imprint in the Fashion industry and expressed her respect for him as a professional and love for him as a friend. She flew in that night from Ghana for a day just to ensure she was present here in Nigeria to celebrate this event with him and also those who work for him. Naomi looked breathtaking in her beaded Olive green gown and lit up the stage when she appeared to make her speech. She has always been the cynosure of all eyes because of her commanding presence and this time was no different. And being a pro, Naomi is used to this and took it all in her stride as she gracefully walked back to her seat after her lovely speech. Having been to Nigeria, thrice now, courtesy of the Chairman, Nduka Obaigbena, Naomi is an inspirational figure to those who have long admired her professionalism and staying power in the Fashion industry. Till date, after over three decades in the business of modeling, she remains one of the world’s most popular and famous models. Not only that, she broke many barriers thereby creating an inroad for many like her to excel in the industry. So to have her grace another occasion held by the THISDAY family was truly an honour. Needless to say, she got a resounding ovation from the audience for her speech about her friend, Nduka Obaigbena. Naomi has fast earned even more respect not just from those who have worked with her here, but also those who have been opportune to meet her one on one. And she continues to inspire many because of her journey of success in the cut-throat world of fashion. We do hope to see more of her as she soars to even greater heights in a world where her name remains an enigma.
