Y!Naija Sports A New 'Illustrated' Look With Tonto Dike On Cover

According to the editor-in-chief, Chude Jideonwo, "We are excited to have pushed the envelope, launched with a bold artistic presentation which was the Omotola cover, and it’s a tradition we have re-ignited. In the new media space, the place of the magazine as a conversation starter might be undergoing a makeover, but the art and essence of the magazine should remain the same.

“It stands at a unique position as a media event and a cultural catalyst, provoking and driving the popular dialogue with features, conversations, imagines, narrations, even controversy. Like the venerable magazine editor Tina Brown has said – you want to publish something that generates energetic debate; otherwise, why would you want to publish it?”

The cover illustration is by talented artist, Bolaji Iwayemi, and the photography for the inside pages is by the iconic photographer Kelechi Amadi-Obi, with styling by the impressive duo of Toyin Lawani and Tiannah Styling.
