Hailing from Port Harcourt in Nigeria and having just turned 18-years-old [I]Opeyemi Awoyemi[/I] is one of the youngest semi-finalists for the Nokia Face of Africa 2005.

At 1.83m in height, Opeyemi is also one of the tallest semi-finalists in the group. A student, who speaks English and Yoruba, Opeyemi is a fan of gospel blues singers and also enjoys the music of Nigeria’s Styl-Plus and 2Face. Her favourite songs include African Queen and Everytime. In her spare time, Opeyemi says she must have a radio on playing cool music! She also says, ''I play a little piano and I sing a lot!''

Opeyemi is also an Eddie Murphy fan proving her love for comedies. She plays badminton and sometimes, hits the hoops playing basketball. Her favourite place in Nigeria is Lagos State and her favourite Nigerian food is yam, eggs and rice. In addition, she says that, ''the best thing about people in my country is that they know their rights in everything they do.''

When she was selected to be a semi-finalist for the Nokia Face of Africa 2005, Opeyemi called her sister first to share the good news!

Editor: her name is incorrectly spelt 'Opeyami' by the official site!

Good for her. She's too skinny. eww.. Turn off.

Yes, she's skinny, but she's my favorite of the 3 Nigerian finalists in the competition. If any one of them is going to win, I think it will be Opeyemi. Or else it will be Adeola, whose profile picture probably doesn't do her justice.
