Bianca Ojukwu, wife of late Biafra leader, Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu
Ojukwu, shared beautiful photos from 30 years since she won MBGN
pageant. Read her post below: 30 YEARS AGO TODAY: BIANCA ONOH WINS ‘
MOST BEAUTIFUL GIRL IN NIGERIA PAGEANT’. 4 DEC. 1988. Thirty years ago
this day, 4th Dec. 1988, I ventured in trepidation onto the grand stage
of the National Theatre, Lagos, as a contestant in the MOST BEAUTIFUL
GIRL IN NIGERIA PAGEANT by Silverbird Productions. By the grace of God I
won the contest. I was then a law undergraduate at the University of
Nigeria. The rest, as they say, is history. Then it was the era of
‘winner takes all’ as pageant winner. From there I took off to Banjul,
where the MISS AFRICA Pageant was held and I once again emerged the
Winner. Next was the MISS CHARM Contest in Moscow which saw me emerge as
Miss Drushbah. After that was the MISS INTERCONTINENTAL Pageant. I am
the ever African ever to have won this Pageant. This was an awesome
experience which provided a wonderful opportunity to visit over 20
countries of the world in the space of one year of my ‘reign’( a great
privilege for a mere student) including 12 European countries as well
as several other world destinations including Singapore, Japan,Russia,
Taipei, Dubai, Republic Of China, Hong Kong where I represented Nigeria
at the MISS WORLD beauty Pageant and Cancun, Mexico where I was the
Country’s representative at the MISS UNIVERSE Pageant. It is to God’s
glory that I went this far. Today, as always, I continue to celebrate
the amazing opportunities God has thrown along my path in life. This is
just one of them.
