Africa’s Next Top Model Runner-Up, Opeyemi Awoyemi Sizzles In New Hot Pictures

The runner-up of the Africa’s Next Top Model, Opeyemi Awoyemi may not have won the competition, but she is surely taking away many positives from the contest. She is beautiful and has the aura of a good and quality model, which she makes use of.

Opeyemi, having auditioned for Africa's Next Top Model Cycle 1, was chosen alongside 11 other girls from all over Africa to compete for the grand prize. 

At the house, she emerged one of the top three contestants who took the battle to New York, USA to get the winner. She, alongside Aamito from Uganda and Michaela from Angola slugged it out there, but eventually, Aamito was crowned winner of the contest.

Not wanting the exposure gained from the show to waste, Opeyemi recently released some hot photographs. 

It is no doubt that she will excel and become one of the top models in the continent. The sky is just the starting point for her.

President Asks Sanusi to Resign over Leaked $49.8bn Letter

President Goodluck Jonathan has asked the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Governor, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, to resign immediately on the grounds that the letter Sanusi wrote to him on the unremitted $49.8 billion oil revenue to the Federation Account, was leaked to former President Olusegun Obasanjo by the CBN governor.

But Sanusi who has denied leaking the letter to anyone, has refused to resign and informed the president during the heated telephone exchange that he could only be removed by two-thirds of the Senate as required by law.

THISDAY learnt that the president had called Sanusi and accused him of leaking the letter to Obasanjo, which enabled the latter to use it as one of many allegations he levelled against Jonathan in his letter titled: “Before It is Too Late”.

The president, who a source in the presidency said was very angry and was not prepared to allow Sanusi to proceed on his terminal leave in March, asked him to tender his resignation before the close of business last Tuesday.

However, Sanusi denied that he had leaked his letter to Obasanjo and made it abundantly clear he would not be forced out, except he is removed by two-thirds of the Senate.

He also told the president that the letter was available in the presidential villa, available in the finance ministry and available in the central bank and wondered how he (Sanusi) could have leaked the letter, which was so widely available, to a former two-term president of Nigeria who has his people all over the place.

Sanusi also expressed his surprise to the president that he was the one being asked to resign instead of the president to ask those responsible for the non-remittance of the funds to resign.
His response, which threw the president aback, degenerated into a heated exchange during which Sanusi told the president that as the federal government’s Chief Economic Adviser, mandatorily required to bring issues of critical economic importance to the attention of the president, he had done a patriotic duty to his country.
