Nairoby Matos – Arise Magazine Issue 15

 Yesterday  while checking my twitter timeline I came upon a few Nigerians bloggers tweets  stating that the local nigerian models were furious because allegedly   they were not getting paid the same as some of the other international models on the runway. I am not in Lagos so I could not  confirm exactly what happened but here is my 2 cents if this is what happened

• Why we have yet to hear from the Arise Magazine team? My guess is they were not expecting something like this to happen. But nonetheless by now their Pr should have released a statement to let us know what's happening.

• Why the F....k that model had to open her mouth  to tell someone else what how much she is making off the show ? Does she know about privacy. I guess she must be feeling really bad right now and might never get invited back to the show .

• Why the F....k local models think they  should be making the same as others? I mean its obvious that models don't make the same for  the same gig. Naomi Campbell does not make same as other models even though they do the same job.  No one is irreplaceable so if you don't want to do the job someone else will do it.  They should be paid fairly but it up to every model to negotiate their own contract.
