A model is a person with a role either to promote, display or advertise commercial products, or to serve as a visual aid for people who are creating works of art or to pose for photography. Modelling is different from other types of public performance, such as acting or dancing according to Wikipedia.
The Nigerian modeling industry continues to grow in leaps and bounds, now more than ever and as witnessed all over the world with the advent of the digital age. Even more interesting is the ability to model a product or service without being commissioned by the company. In some unique cases, companies have gone on to sign individuals through this channel. With a company’s product/service nicely modeled and a digital following to back it up, many have grown to become great ambassadors for these companies.
At this present time and age, you are indeed the captain of your ship, dear friends steer your ship and we know without a doubt that you will indeed sail successfully.

In this extract, we bring to you the sweet and amazing story of Madam Abimbola Idowu, better known by her stage name Segilola Grey. She is one of such people who decided to go on and be their best self despite being at more mature age where this direction would have been considered ridiculous by most. Going by her stories, this was indeed the case as she got quite a bit of criticism starting out.

Segilola Grey was introduced to modelling by her son, a celebrity hair stylist who thought the modelling industry in Nigeria could do with more professional mature women photoshoots. With his own network and resources, he has put his mother on a pedestal and we expect her to continue to soar.
Today, she enjoys what she is doing and has decided to commit to the modelling profession fully. We are indeed inspired by her courage and dedication. She is forever beautiful, and a real definition of black don’t crack. Going strong at 71 years, we expect to continue to see more of her for a long time.
We would like to promote Madam Segilola’s works at no cost, we implore her public relations specialist to message us privately. For modelling jobs and contracts, reach her out to her on her Instagram handle:segilolagrey
