Nigerian supermodel Oluchi Onweagba has thrown the cat among the pigeons by speaking out against racism among magazine bosses.
The gorgeous model says some local magazines will not feature her on their covers because she is black.

Even catwalk goddess Naomi Campbell has complained bitterly about discrimination.
