    A new force in African fashion has emerged with the launch of Fresh Models, a Lagos-based modeling agency and training academy founded by international model and creative entrepreneur Francis Polo, also known as Fresh Pepper.

Fresh Models Launches in Lagos to Discover and Develop Nigeria’s Next Generation of Global Talent


Positioned at the intersection of talent development and global opportunity, Fresh Models aims to redefine industry standards in Nigeria by building a pipeline of world-class models equipped for both local and international markets.

“Fresh Models was created to bridge the gap between raw talent in Nigeria and the structure required to compete globally,” said Polo. “We’re not just signing models—we’re developing them with intention, discipline, and a clear understanding of the industry.”

Operating out of Lagos, the agency combines representation with hands-on training through its academy, offering aspiring models access to professional development in runway, posing, and industry knowledge—an approach still relatively rare within the Nigerian modeling landscape.

The agency has already begun building a roster of promising new faces, including Damilola Odebiyi, Emmanuel Johnson, and Emerald Godwin, three emerging talents being positioned for both domestic campaigns and international placements.

With Lagos continuing to gain recognition as a rising fashion capital, Fresh Models enters the market with a clear mission: to elevate Nigerian talent onto the global stage while maintaining a strong foundation at home.

Fresh Models is now accepting new talent through its weekly open calls, held every Friday and Saturday in Lagos.

  How Celevend Is Solving Nigeria's Event Vendor Problem: A Platform Built for Trust and Transparency By Ayodele Oyeniyi  From wedding photography to catering to venue booking one app simplifies event planning across 24 service categories with verified vendors, real portfolios, and secure payments. Planning an event in Nigeria still means navigating fragmented vendor networks, uncertain pricing, and the risk that your hired photographer won't show up or your caterer will deliver subpar work. The friction is real.

What Mintslate Media’s Job Seekers Teaches Us About Politeness, Power, And Survival At Work

By
Politeness is often praised as professionalism. But in many workplaces, it is also a form of control. Mintslate Media’s upcoming psychological horror film Job Seekers examines how politeness operates as an unspoken rule within professional systems, especially when power is uneven and opportunity is scarce. Rather than presenting the workplace as neutral, the film reveals how survival can depend on silence, compliance, and emotional restraint. Founded in February 2025 by filmmaker Seyi Oluwatimilehin, Mintslate Media was created to tell stories rooted in lived experience. Job Seekers, directed by Seyi Oluwatimilehin and Alan Vega, reflects that vision by centering its story on Maya, a young immigrant attending a job interview that could determine her right to stay. “One of the reasons I founded Mintslate Media was to tell stories that are real, stories that are relatable, honest, and true to our time and existence,” Seyi Oluwatimilehin says. “Every one of these films carries a piece of ...
