The first ever Ms. Wheelchair Nigeria pageant will take place in Nigeria in March 2010. Ms. Wheelchair Nigeria is a competition designed to select the most accomplished and articulate spokeswoman for the over 20 million Nigerians living with disabilities. The selected representative must be able to communicate both the needs and the accomplishments of her constituency to the general public, the business community and the legislature. It is the first of its kind in Africa and therefore will command a roll call of the crème de la crème in the showbiz, fashion, corporate and government sector. It will be a red carpet night filled with the razzmatazz and panache that is associated with a world class show.
Benefits:
1. The winner will serve as a role model and empower other young girls who ‘happen to use wheelchairs’ that they can be every bit successful, vibrant, and powerful as other women.
2. It challenges the artificial boundaries that seem to exist in the beauty and fashion industries and cast a new light on our concept of the ideal woman.
3. It raises social awareness and understanding about different disabilities.
4. It’s a great opportunity to celebrate diversity in voices, in appearance, in thought and in physical ability.
