The latest issue of Thisday style magazine features two of the brightest minds of the Nigerian youth, Chude Jideonwo and Debola Williams, looking dapper as they grace the cover.
Debola Williams and Chude Jideonwo for Thisday Style
Chude and Debola, who were styled by Ouch and Mai Atafo for the shoot, are co-founders and Managing Partners of Red Media Africa/The Future Project, a full service media-content, communication and development company.
RED's brands consist of The Future Africa Awards Africa, Red Media Africa, Y! Africa and YNaija.com, and they consult for international brands including Microsoft, Google, The British Council and the United States Government.
In addition to that, Debola Williams who is fondly known as Debola Lagos, is one of the brains behind and one of the young bright minds who worked with the President-elect, Muhammadu Buhari in reshaping his image, advising how best to win the youth in the just concluded campaigns and polls.

Meanwhile, Chude led on the communication front for the Muhammadu Buhari campaign in 2015, through Statecraft Inc. The digitally-driven movement upset a 16-year monopoly by the previous ruling party, and set off excitement across the continent.
The cover was shot by Ty Bello, who said “Wisdom looks good on everyone.. Even inferred wisdom . ..You know the one where the bible says a fool in silence maybe considered wise .. Well these men here don't do silence... They fling forth wisdom ahead of their times and are relentless in pushing the fresh insights they’re given. It was an honour to spend the day with @chudeity and @debolalagos .
Luckily it wasn't a day spent over tweaking our brains. It was Plenty of laughing .. Some worship in the corner here and there and my irresistible urge to pinch Chude's rosy cheeks ( Chude sorry ). In the end they left me inspired ..
It's surprisingly not just about them and their amazingness .. (Though..I must say these guys have all sorts of amazeballs coming effortlessly out their ears ..,) what I sensed instead was a genuine overdrive to push the continent forward. Truly honoured to photograph you.”
