Deeva of the Week - Funmi Ogunja

Yes our Deeva of the Week is that Funmi Ogunja. That fashionable young lady with a very stylish blog having over a million hits.
Funmi stands out in every way. While some say she is Kim Kardashian's twin, I think she is more beautiful. Yes! You are allowed to call me biased because she's Nigerian.

With origins from Ondo State and born day on the 8th of March 26years ago, Funmi is not just a blogger or fashionista. She's a beauty and style enthusiast, a TV Presenter with the plans of expanding her work to bigger media outfits, she is a freelance fashion and entertainment journalist, a graphic designer and many more. Her blog is about Fashion, Inspiring Style, Beauty Tips, The Latest Trends, Exclusive Stories & Good Music, and Funmi said she would love to bring the same passion she brings to the blog to TV!
