The wait is finally over as Londoners got a chance to celebrate the launch of OK! Nigeria magazine last night in London.

The launch night got underway at the Nigerian High Commission in the heart of London’s trendy West End. Talent from the World of fashion, film and entertainment rubbed shoulders with international media who had also attended the London launch.

Branching the OK! Magazine brand into Nigeria will certainly be a challenge however OK! Nigeria franchise holder Alexander Amosu believes that this is a risk worth taking.

Alexandra Amosu said “This is the most challenging business I have started. When I told people I was going into the World of publishing they advised me to prepare for a bottomless pit of expenditure. Then I mentioned that the venture was going to be in Nigeria and their reaction became, ‘God save you.’

There was also a positive outlook in London. MD of Mahogany Models Sola said: “This will become hugely popular in Nigeria. The brand is well established in Europe and will definitely do well throughout Nigeria and the Diaspora.”
