Amal Fashanu

our era, a human canvas upon which fashion designers, photographers and artists have felt compelled to work and will often feel compelled to work more often than not. Amal, young, brainy and dramatic, is one of the select few models quietly and yet very glamorously making her way towards a bright and fruitful career in the United Kingdom (UK). Despite her mounting success in the world of modeling, Amal remains a stranger to the pains and misery behind the glamour. However, in the city of London, rich men wouldn’t let her be. They want her friendship if for just a minute, pursuing her with all they have and generally making them swallow a cascade of spittle in quick succession. But Amal doesn’t have time for frivolities - so we heard.

“No man can lose what he never had,” said Izaak Walton, late English writer. But Chinenye Ochuba, Most Beautiful Girl in Nigeria (MBGN), and her husband, Kunle Akinlade, had a beautiful house and they lost it. Music they heard together in that house has been lost; all they did together in that house that was once beautiful is dead. Ochuba and her husband have lost their home located at Somolu close, Alakuko, Ijaiye in Lagos. When the couple built the house and moved into it, six years ago, they never knew that there stay in it would be short-lived. Unfortunately for the couple, the house was built on a land sold to them by fraudulent means. When the owners of the land took Mr Akinlade to a Lagos high court, the court ruled in favour of the plaintiff and issued an order in October asking the Akinlades to vacate the house. Ochuba and husband have since vacated the house. “I think two factors are working against the place…it is a mansion and few people can afford to maintain such a place as a rented property in that part of town and secondly the controversy associated with it also makes prospective tenants stay off once they become familiar with the history of the place” an insider explained. Checks revealed at a point after he moved out, Akinlade was offered the place again by the man who instituted the case that forced him out but he spurned the chance to return.
