		<description><![CDATA[Editor&#8217;s Note As we approach our 50th year of independence this October, it’s time to sit back and think about the accomplishments Nigeria has made over time. Although, there is still much to do in ensuring that our nation is amongst the top amongst world leaders, it is also important to give credit to all those who have relied on their own strengths and talents in building our nation. When we think about the champions who have led (and are still leading) Nigeria to it’s full potential, we cannot help but to be amazed by all of the Nigerian women who have contributed in the fields of science, politics, journalism, entertainment, and fashion. Our women continue to take Nigeria to new heights, without receiving the recognition that they deserve. But we see you. We hear you. And most importantly, we appreciate you! Nigerian women of all ethnic groups have been at the forefront of all things notable and thus the reason why we dedicated this issue to our women. This “Women’s Issue” is intended to celebrate the accomplishments and tenacity of our Nigerian women- young and old. Whether they be our political leaders, our entrepreneurs, our mothers, or religious advisors, [...]]]></description>

According to CNN, “The Houston-based businessman has made an artform out of tying a gele — the gravity-defying headwraps worn by Nigerian women…Watching Segun Gele whip the material into graceful folds and arcs in less than five minutes, you know he is the master“ Houston-based makeup artist and “master headturner”, Segun Gele (Hakeem Oluwasegun Olaleye) has made a name for him in the USA as the go-to man for woman seeking showstopping gele styles and beautifully madeover faces. He worked on Nollywood star, Ini Edo-Ehiagwina for her wedding in April 2009 and has transformed hundreds of brides for their big day. Segun Gele arrived to the US from Nigeria in 2003. “He first noticed he could turn his skills into a promising business when he offered to tie a woman’s head wrap at a friend’s wedding. Within minutes, he had whipped the two-yard fabric into a headturning, vertiginous shape that left other women at the party impressed. Before long a queue had formed and he started charging $7 a piece to tie gele at the wedding, [...]]]></description>

She allowed herself to be totally covered up in real mud for so many hours, but still managed to take amazing shots and looked fierce while doing it.” A lot of great things ahead for one of our favorite Nollywood actress.

Last night many of us anxiously waited to see Naija take the trophy.  Unfortunately, the award went to UK’s Dizee Rascal, who is also of Nigerian origin- giving us still a reason to go ahead and claim the win! Up Nigeria!

		<description><![CDATA[As reported by TMZ.com in the morning of June 14th, Chidi Benjamin Uzomah, Jr has been sentenced to two years in prison for stalking the American Idol star host, Ryan Seacrest. Though there hasn’t been any official reports of Uzomah’s nationality, we here at Ômo Naija Magazine are willing to place our bets that this man &#8212; with such a staple Igbo name &#8212; is a Nigerian man. Reports state that 26-year Old Uzomah &#8212; who, in September 2009, went after Seacrest outside a hospital and a month later, outside E! Studios &#8212; plead guilty to felony stalking charges back in March this year. He was reported to be armed with a knife in both instances. In addition to the prison sentence, the judge ordered Uzomah to remain at least 500 yards away from Seacrest and his places of work for 10 years.]]></description>
