West Africa’s Next Top Model is Underway
December 2, 2008 by Erin Balser
Auditions are currently being held for another incarnation of the Top Model franchise–West Africa’s Next Top Model.
This version will be hosted by top Nigerian Model Oluchi Onweagba and the winner will receive a $5,000 contract with an international modeling agency and appear on the cover of True Love magazine.
Production is expected to take place in Spring 2009, with the show airing in the summer.
Auditions have been held last week and this week. More auditions will take place December 3 and 4 in Dakar, and December 5 and 6 in Accra. You can get the complete information about the auditions here.

hi, am so happy dat d wafntm reality show is comin 2 west Africa,pls can sm1 brief on d regitration process cus hv been tryin 2 register 4 d past 3 days & i also heard dat d day of castin is on d 22nd jan port harcourt Nigeria,pls hw true is dat.Tanks
am waitin 4 ur reply thanks
i dont think they should be put on ‘True Love’ magazine. its not international acclaimed enough to catapult the model’s career. howver i think it is an awesome idea and i cant wait to watch it!
I can’t wait-it’s about time! Will it air in the United States? If so, where/when?
what is a model to do with just a $5000 contract that is bolony. do u realize that that will just be a round trip ticket to us and back i sorry be if this show would want any one to give up their life for three months then really the should award more that just the cover of true love and 5G’s this is a big ripe off and i hope that if oluchi is going to associate herself with this it better be up to the same standards as tyra’s america’s next top model. bucause she herselfs know that as a model this is a freaking dead end deal and it’s not fair for girls to put themself through this for so little
wel,2 me i dont think d organisers are being fair,how can dey put an audition on d 9th of march in port harcourt & only 4 us 2 get there in d audition venue nd found out dat d people are not even aware of ay audition taking place.Only 4 us 2 call them dat mornin & found out dat d audition in ph have been cancealed.And they dint bother putin it on net so we will know & respect ourselves & be in our houses rather go waste time & money bcos no audition will hold in ph bt Lagos,so annoyin.
Pls try to write out da close date of evry audition
English people, English and learn to how to spell.
