Former beauty queen, Omowunmi Akinnifesi, is in pains at the moment. The beautiful lady and brain behind Ella Poise, an ushering agency in Lagos, has been in a state of mourning over the death of her father, Chief Olu Akinnifesi. He died after a brief illness at the age of 72. Since the sad event took place some weeks ago, Omowunmi has remained inconsolable. Her despair is better understood by those that knew the strong bond that existed between Omowunmi and her father.
The late Chief Akinnifesi was a former director in the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), and a respected community leader in Idimu. His remains will be buried next weekend in Idimu.
Omowunmi won the Most Beautiful girl in Nigeria in 2005 and the same year represented the country at the Miss World Pageant in China, where she planted trees for the Chinese government. In 2008, Omowunmi graduated from the University of Lagos with a degree in geography and regional planning, and was first runner-up on the Nigerian version of Strictly Come Dancing, Celebrity Takes 2 Dance before she launched her own public relations and usher-hiring business, Elle Poise. Omowunmi has been hailed as a style icon in recent years, and was honoured at the 2011 Allure Style Awards. In 2012, she obtained a Masters degree in environmental monitoring, modelling, and management from King’s College, London.
