Miss Heiress Nigeria is a cultural pageant designed to showcase the true African entertainment, it is a No swim suit, No bikini, No hold bar pageant, all dressed cultural outfit, and it comes with 100% Africa rooting.
Nigeria as a country had long ago been bastardized by her own people and the infiltration of western culture that had almost extinguished our unique sociocultural heritage.
“Culture is our life and future,please let’s do all we can to preserve and pass it to the next generation” Amb. Chief Segun Olusola (mni, OFR). Love of tradition and culture has never weakened a nation, indeed it has strengthened nations in their hour of peril: but the new view must come, the world must roll forward.

My point exactly! The pageants are becoming way too much. Everywhere you turn you see one pageant or the other and the sad part is that there are also pageant for children as little as five. Introducing children to that kind of lifestyle at their tender age will not do them much good

Tell me about it. They aren't going away anytime soon though, girls will continue participating in them as long as there is potential of their getting wealth and fame if they do so.
