An outstanding, interesting and passionate model is all that is needed for any type of re branding. Do you know that Models bring a certain level of freshness, newness and
better perspective to any brand they model, such is the beauty that radiates from this attractive, show stopper, 6ft 2inches Nigerian Male Model, who has crossed many oceans, flown over hills and mountains to embrace Modelling as a career. He's got the guts and is heading for the glory.
The height, the physique, the look and the swag are the undeniable
features of Konnekt; a Model, Media Consultant and one of the most
developed talent of Nigerian extraction, who has got the world in
