Meet The First Ever 'Miss Nigeria': Mrs Grace Tinuke Oyelude
Miss Nigeria started as a photo contest in 1957. Contestants posted photographs of themselves to the Daily Times headquarters in Lagos where finalists were shortlisted; those successful were invited to compete in the live final which at the time did not include a swimsuit competition at the Lagos Island Club.


UAC employee Grace Oyelude won the maiden edition of Miss Nigeria, and would later use part of her £200 prize money to travel to England where she studied Nursing.
Contrary to popular belief, Julie Coker was not the first Miss Nigeria – she was Miss Western Nigeria but used the ‘Miss Nigeria’ title during official engagements abroad.

Wow! She still looks good!

Look at the dressing back then, its not like what we have these days with almost naked ladies.

This is what I know has the real African beauty.

'MRS GRACE TINUKE OYELUDE' I MEET YOU..


NICE ONE MAMI.

what's her secret?

braine: Wow! She still looks good!

Are today's natives skimpy and revealing? If you want to compare, then compare apples with apples rather than oranges.

OT: hard to believe that's her 50+ years later. Good for her.

ohhh dear. She is more beautiful in her advanced age.

I wish I could watch d video of the pageant to compare how it was done then wit what obtains now

Natives are not revealing, but then I hardly see them in cultural attires; maybe during the beauty contest sha.

Wao! The woman is just very pretty to say the least of all understatements.

Just got a lesson that beauty is not a function of lip gloss, eye lashes, ghana weave on and brazillian hair and now catwalking.

But how am i to judge since everything is a function of time.

Real Beauty is natural

her pegeant outfit and style was nothing less from beauty and modesty

I thought this contest is only for people that can expose their breastt like Muna.

she looks like Nicki minaj in the younger pic

Are my eyez playing tricks...? Or does this women here look finer in her old than her youth...

*singing* Sexy Mama

Beautiful eyes. The eyes never change.

braine: Wow! She still looks good!

Is there really anything like "the real African beauty"

Besides my culture encourages being unclad before the coming of Europeans.

Pretty even in old age.

...such a beautiful damsel even at her old age
She is aging gracefully as well. Well done Ma'am.

Amazing, so at that time, part of 200 pounds could afford you a chance to travel to the UK? ..... now you can hardly buy an iPhone with that !

do westerners also dress unclad in those days?
The world continues to evolve generally....

She is still Beautiful,no bleaching,no cream,no make up, just NATURALLY BEAUTIFUL!

Ok madam Obechi Okaowo Veli veli sassy even at old age

uniqueval: Are my eyez playing tricks...? Or does this women here look finer in her old than her youth...

its not your eyes, it's your mind and it is called a 'grandma fantasy'
She still has her beauty, but I think her youthful picture is naturally better.

Forever beautiful!!

In another way Julie Coker stole her tittle

angel TI: ohhh dear. She is more beautiful in her advanced age.
