Afia Larry Wins BBSA

SEVENTEEN year old Afia Larry could hold back her tears when her name was mentioned as winner of the maiden edition of The Belinda Baidoo Model Search Africa(BBMSA) yesterday, Sunday, May 7.

She beat the other top three contestants —Aj, Nana and Alimatu to grab the bragging rights, a three- year modelling contract with MSA models in New York and Los Angeles as well as other modeling deals.

In a chat with Showbiz, Afia , an old student of Akwamuman Senior High School, Akosombo  said “When my name was mentioned, I just didn’t know what to do but to shed tears because it was a dream come true. I couldn’t believe my name was being mentioned” she said. 

Afia who said she knew nothing about modeling when she joined the other 11 contestants some 13 weeks ago when the competition started said she has learnt a lot from it.

“I was very shy when I met the judges for the first time 13 weeks ago. I was very timid and hid myself most times at the initial stages of the competition. I am now  confident  and have overcome  my nervousness after going through the various stages of the competition.  

In five years time, Helen says she wants to see herself competing with international models. “I believe I have what it takes to compete with the international models. For now I need serious grooming and in no time I will be one of the best models around” she said.

Ms Belinda Baidoo CEO of The Belinda Baidoo Model Search Africa (BBSA) told Showbiz  that Afia  won because she impressed all the judges.

“I was surprised at the way she answered almost all the questions thrown at her. She also has the looks and the attitude of a model. I knew she was going to be part of the finalists but I am happy she emerged winner” Belinda added.

Asked what she would be doing with  Afia, Belinda said “ I am  going to work on her. I am going to groom her on how to take care of her skin,  how to dress and all she needs to know to help her succeed as a model” Belinda added. 

The BBMSA which aims to unearth a modeling talent started 13 weeks ago with 12 contestants drawn from all over the country.  Every week, a contestant was evicted till the number was pruned to top four finalists.

BBMSA aired every Sunday at 4 pm on GhOne TV.

Does he have a private Jet? See Top 10 facts about the Pastor Kumuyi you did not know (Photos)

Nowadays, owning private jets is the new trend for Nigerian pastors. It is so rampant that we have to wonder if Jesus would agree to have one if he was in the shoes of these same pastors today. Here we will try to find out whether William Kumuyi has his own luxurious vessel or not. This would be interesting. Famous Pastors like Ayo Oritsejafor, Bishop David Oyedepo, Enoch Adeboye and Pastor T.B. Joshua are Nigerian pastors that have already been reported to have private jets. Various arguments have been put forward for and against the issue of procurement of a N4 billion aircraft by the General Superintendent of the Deeper Life church. Recently Pastor Kumuyi was called one of the 500 most influential people on the planet apparently owing to his reach in Christendom via his mega church. Pastor Kumuyi is arguably a bigger preacher and pastor than most of the jet-setting pastors, but it is not clear yet if he owns one. What is certain is that he lives a little below the radar...
