Meet the 71-year old woman who is redefining modelling in Nigeria

71-year old Abimbola Idowu, who goes by the stage name, Segilola Grey is redefining what modeling is in Nigeria

Mama Abimbola started modeling when her celebrity hairstylist son, Tosin, realized that there were barely photographs of elderly people except there was a special function.

With an elderly mother at home, Tosin prepared his mom for a photoshoot. Although, the photoshoot took a little bit of convincing, mama Abimbola has come to love her modeling job, so much that she gave up her former job as a traditional wedding anchor.

Now a professional model, mama Abimbola and her son hopes that the fashion industry will be more accepting of elderly models.

Check out beautiful pictures of her below

Old age is not a disease – it is strength and survivorship, triumph over all kinds of vicissitudes and disappointments, trials and illnesses. When grace is joined with wrinkles, it is adorable. There is an unspeakable dawn in happy old age!

HAPPINESS . . . Happiness is not what you buy over the counter, It comes from what you do yourself, your family and community at large. My wrinkles are not only formed from stress and worries, but from the joy and laughter spread to all I have come in contact with. To my daughter, keep this torch burning, smile always, do not let anyone rob you of it. I AM SEGILOLA, old and grey but forever beautiful and relevant. . . . .
