adexsimply: But we shouldn't ignore the fact that IDOWUOGBO was a big catalyst to her success

ITbomb:
I need more explanations on this , I thought the FG had outlawed stuff like that .

bennyraz: D-ex, you can't correct that insinuation!! seun came late that was why!

sexkillz: Lupey was not popular. This is what lupey said, after she had verified herself and no one seemed to care of her existence. . .




This lady believed in herself! Her confidence is endearing. She warned the popular girls. She warned them.

"watch ur backs"

Never ever under-rate anyone in this life. If lupey's story from Zero to Hero in just 7 days doesn't teach you that lesson, nothing else would.

Nice thread.

Congrats Lupey.

ITbomb: The 11th Lesson To Note From LUPEY:
.
Most people don't vote logically.
Present yourself in a variant so that each group takes what they like and vote.
.
The were groups that voted her because of her charity works - emotions over reason.
.
The were others that voted for the asz -
.
And some others just voted cos the name Lupey was annoyingly spam across board by idowoIgbo and u just could not ignore it - brilliant campaign.
.
Adaobi relied too much on her intelligence.
BTW by heart still belongs to Nikky

1) Place Your Boat on the Sea, NO one would Set it Right.
She nominated herself! She was not waiting or expecting anyone to recognize and nominate her. She set her boat and she sailed.

2) Know Your Strength and Build on it.
Confidence seem to be her second name. Her reply to the question of what gives her an edge over other contestants was a reflection of how she came on board. Sometimes, we all need to flaunt our inner strength right at the face of whoever. Though, at that time, they may say you are proud, appreciate them and move on because they are not at that level yet.

3) Believe in Your Abilities.
That's right! We are made to be dynamic. Achieving success is not only confined to our areas of discipline. Break new grounds and you'd be surprise at what you could do.

5) There's more to life than "yourself."
All about life is not you! The beauty of life is the smile we put on peoples' face. No matter the situation, think more of those you're better than and how to give to them and not how much you receive. She came up with her charity works and that won some people over including their votes.

6) You Don't have to be Popular to Make an Impact.
Infact, making impact makes you popular. If you are waiting for the perfect time, you'd be disappointed, as there's nothing as perfect time! Your use of the time is what makes it perfect and as well determines the result. She came from 'no where' to win a contest! That was a rude shock and even to those that nurtured the impression or probably opted out of the contest because they were not known to other forum members. Well, she was a 'nobody' and that was my first time of seeing her moniker. Of course, she's known now, at least to those that witnessed the beauty contest.

7) For a Determined Mind, there's NO 'oga at the top'
I've been waiting for the perfect moment to correct the insinuations from the last beauty contest. Everyone believed Seun's decision to vote a candidate made her won the contest. In relation to this, how could that be corrected any better? Seun voted as usual but his candidate lost. Just a good instance, to anyone that's determined to achieve success, blocks could be bridges if you place them well.

8 ) The Secret of Winning People Over is Identifying with them.
She wore an African attire and of course that means she remembered the identity of the voters and can as well rep her root. That was a trick that paid off maybe not intentional but it has got abit of attraction.

9) Life is About what You've Done and Not what You can Do.
Oh well, she presented the pictures of her visit to an orphanage home and that placed so many voters on an emotional train. Evidence terminates arguement!

10) There's Always a Better Way to Make things Work - Just Discover Yours.
She did something different; something unusual in the contest. She combined too many tactics: from making us appreciate our culture, reminded us that life is not about "me, myself and I" and also made us get emotional at it, flexed her mental muscles alongside her beauty. What a winning combo!

Finally, after she did the right things from the beginning, votes started pouring in her direction. She was probably relaxed and smiling while people kept chanting her moniker. That's how to be a victor; doing the right things and watch them play just your way.

No doubt, she changed the face of this contest and right from here, she raised the bar for future contestants.


Celebrate the moment girl. Congratulations LUPEY!

Life is not about what you've done in the past nor what couldn't do so far, it's about WHAT YOU STILL CAN!

C'est moi:

nice one!
