o doubt Chidi Mokeme, the talented Nollywood actor, is enjoying
a lot of attention these days. Surprisingly, this does not border on his acting prowess, neither is it
because of his new role as the Guilder Ultimate Search anchorman. Chidi is making the headlines for his rumoured romantic
pyrotechnics with a woman twice his age: Florence Ita-Giwa (aka Mma Bakassi), the Special Adviser to the President of Nigeria on
National Assembly Matters. Are they really dating? Are they not?
The 8th Most Beautiful African Girl in Ireland Beauty Pageant at Gresham Hotel, Dublin on the 27
October 2007 was the best in years. And the crown went to a gorgeous Cameroonian girl called Linda Ama. Well, I am trying to be
very modest because gorgeous Linda, as you must have known, is our own. She is one of
Xclusive Magazine models. But the
shine of that night was Ifraah Aweys Daahir, who was crowned the
Xclusive Top Model. She walks like a gazelle, has
swooning good looks and wears a captivating smile. We've got all the stories and vintage photos from the Beauty
Pageant and the
Xclusive Top Model.
On 15 November 2007, Arambe Theatre Productions officially hosted Olu Jacobs at the
Safari in
Decency Restaurant. Also on 22 November 2007, still the initiative of Arambe Theatre Production, Olu Jacobs paid a courtesy call
on the Charge D'Affaires at Nigeria Embassy.
Xclusive Magazine followed it all and got the inside stories and vintage photos. You will
never read it anywhere else.
Thank you readers for your overwhelming love on
Xclusive Magazine's recent deal with Eason's. We
received an unprecedented email of congratulations from all over the world (a few of those you will find on our “Letter to the Editor-in-chief” page).
That we’re the first and only Africa magazine to break into the Irish mainstream media market is God's doing. It will not get into our head because
competing on the shelves with big brand names like
Hello, Ok, Times, the Dubliner…is as hard as making it into Eason's. So we
will continue to need your prayers.
It is Christmas season and our specially designed Season Greeting Cards are already in the post to you. Unfortunately,
the cards are limited and would not go round and so this is our Season prayer for all: May sickness see you and Passover. May you
function without a struggle. May you not ask, but receive a bountiful. And may your till never run dry or wasteful…
Merry Christmas and a happy New Year!
Publisher/Editor-in-Chief.
