Elizabeth is a young upcoming model from Nigeria. She got her first
modelling job in Ghana, when she went with a friend for an audition
about 3 months back and since then she has attracted a lot of attention.
I had the opportunity to have a chat with the hilarious and
beautiful model. You can connect with Elizabeth via instagram @ Always_Beliz.
Entertainmentprofiler: What’s your name?
Elizabeth: Elizabeth chidinma John.
Entertainmentprofiler: How old are you?
Elizabeth: Eighteen.
Entertainmentprofiler: Wow! You are really young.
Entertainmentprofiler: Generally tell us about yourself?
Elizabeth: I am Elizabeth john, and I do so many things, I
model, sing, dance, design female wears, write poems….. chai I am
talented and I am eighteen.
Entertainmentprofiler: How do you manage to do all these stuffs at a very young age and what motivates you?
Elizabeth: How I do everything…. its by God grace what can I say apart from that. My motivation comes from life.
Entertainmentprofiler: How did you stumble upon your first modelling job?
Elizabeth: Actually I was looking for a good job, but found none in Ghana. Some Ghanians don’t give Nigerians jobs.
Entertainmentprofiler: So modelling came up then?
Elizabeth: Yes, my friends were like babe just do modelling
and I was like me that will just faint when I see the crowd. But my
friends where like omo baddest girl, you sure babe you nor dey fear omo
you be man ha you be man, for my mind hmm see gobe, gbesere ooo, hmm I
was just laughing. I have a friend who is a model so I was like let me
follow her to her own modelling stuff. So that week, there was a fashion
show at Oxford Street in Ghana , so I told my friend I would follow
her, then we went and I was also picked. I met other professional
models.
Entertainmentprofiler: Guess you where so happy then. Are you a student in ghana? If so, what school are you in and what course are you studying?
Elizabeth: Nope, working on my admission.
Entertainmentprofiler: You live in Ghana?
Elizabeth: For six months. Would be going back soon though.
Back to my experience as a model, I was given outfits which is called
fittings so after the fitting, I think the next few days was the show
and my first modelling experience was (stutters) it was like it was
would i say it was a bomb because normally when you are doing some
modelling shows they use normal music like hip hop and stuff, but this
one, we where using talking drums it was just talking drums like
traditional drums throughout imagine when you are actually modelling on
the runway with traditional drums (*voice in excitement*) it’s weird I
was like what are we doing here then I was like telling my friend “na my
first time be this ooo I dey fear” and she was like no worry jare “just
go like this go like this” just stretch your legs blah blah, free
yourself “ya ya ya ya ya ” /*really funny chic*/ then your face, when
she said your face I was like hmmm is it not face, because normally i
like doing crazy stuffs with my face I can be very serious with my face,
I can smile, I can do anything with my face. So I was lik oh is it the
face stuff no wahala since we done dey watch top model tey tey. We
started the whole stuff then they where like everybody should start
walking, we where criticising ourselves and stuffs, then I was walking
and the instructor called me and was like are you sure this is your
first time and I was like yes its my first time he was like the way I
was modelling it is as if it’s inside you and I was like really. I was
walking and stuffs then finally finally on that day we did everything, I
modeled, I even worry this wedding gown and people where like screaming
and I was like o boy make I nor fall for here oo. I was just walking. I had to also model a guys cloth Iike normally when I was going for the
rerehearsals, I dressed like a guy I don’t have time to start wearing
those “ehin ehin eya eya ” so I just dressed normal with my joggers and
everything then i went for the rehearsals. So the instructor was like we
have being watching you since, you dressed like a boy, you are going to
wear a guys cloth. Then after everything he gave me a guys cloth. The
last clothe I wore on the runway was a guys clothe. And I felt so cool
in the outfit like I knew I rocked this outfit and after I rocked this
outfit, somebody bought the outfit I was like wow abeg I dey model. It
was nice like from there I was like this stuff is easy , it’s cool, it’s
nice. I went to my friends agency, bought the form, go for rehearsals
then we had this photo shot it came out wonderful. It has been a very
nice experience as a model.
Entertainmentprofiler: Are there any challenges in modelling so far?
Elizabeth: Yes! And it’s my leg.
Entertainmentprofiler: your leg?
Elizabeth: I have this wonderfully made bow legs which is
not noticed. I don’t stretch very well when walking. And my french pose
is not good.
Entertainmentprofiler: Give us a rough estimate of jobs you have done so far?
Elizabeth: Not much at all. I started modelling like two
months ago or three. Assuming I was in Ghana at the moment, I would have
been busy with jobs.
Entertainmentprofiler: Aside modelling, what other thing can you see yourself doing?
Elizabeth: Fashion designing, I sew but not very well.
Entertainmentprofiler: Tell us something exclusive that most people don’t know about you?
Elizabeth: Am very very very very shy and emotional.
Entertainmentprofiler: Being a young model, how do you cope with living by yourself in Ghana?
Elizabeth: I don’t know.
Entertainmentprofiler: Can you tell people out there how you can be reached in case of jobs?
