I competed for this pageant to prove to young Nigerian/African girls that you can be whatever you want to be with hard work and persistence. Just keep pushing your dreams.”
On her expectations as a beauty queen, she said: “It’s been a long while since the Miss Intercontinental crown came home to Nigeria, so it’s a big win for me, my country and my organization, Miss Intercontinetal Nigeria, and I’m not taking that for granted. I will take on the duties of being Miss Intercontinental Africa to touch lives and make a change where I can.”
On her part, the National Director, Miss Intercontinental Nigeria, Anita May Igoni, said the crown was well deserved, having followed the due process and transparency of the organisers.
