Created in 1957, the Miss Nigeria Beauty Pageant is Nigeria’s foremost pageant and discovering platform for young ladies. Notable among them are beauty queens such as Grace Oyelude, Julie Coker, Helen Prest-Ajayi, Binta Sukai, Vien Tetsola, Sylva Edem, Ene Lawani and Damilola Agbajor to name a few.
The annual Miss Nigeria Pageant, the 38th in the series, will take place on July 6 at the impressive Intercontinental Hotel, Victoria Island, Lagos. This year’s pageant has become a strong symbol of African culture and tradition and is brought to you by the African Times Network.
This year’s theme, ‘Every Nation Needs A Queen’, is centred on unity across the 36 states in Nigeria to promote beauty in diversity. The event promises to be more engaging and fulfilling in hope that it will further unite Nigerians across its many cultural divides.
Prior to the main event, the 36 contestants will be entered in for a reality TV show titled ‘The Making of a Queen’. The show will be filmed in Lagos and other neighboring cities and will run for a period of two weeks. During the show, the contestants would be given tasks and have interactive sessions with their fellow contestants. They would then be judged based on their elegance, poise, talent, intelligence and beauty. After a rigorous and nail-biting process, they would be narrowed down to 21 finalists who will then move on to the grand finale where they will compete for the crown, and a winner will emerge.
The event would be a platform to support less privileged kids. Funds will be raised towards the cause – Education: A salvation for kids.
