Chinasa Okorie, a former Miss Abia has continued to excel in her modelling career when she was crowned Ada ndi Igbo 2009. A student of Abia State University, Okorie told Daily Sun recently what winning the crown means to her and what she hopes to achieve with her pet project, STAR (Set To Achieve Redemption). Excerpts:
What does Ada ndi Igbo pageant stand for?
“The Ada ndi Igbo cultural pageant crown carries a genuine unbiased objective to promote the aspirations, dreams and yearnings of a unique ethnic nationality, the Igbo race. For the first time, I saw a pageant that is truly Nigerian and proudly cultural.”
Values of Igbo culture
“As Ada Ndi Igbo, I use the Igbo language to project the positive values of Igbo culture across the Igbo speaking states. It is a call to duty that is beyond the glamour and ephemeral red carpets. It is not only about beauty, it is stretched to building young women positively to become mothers that run homes responsibly and have the Igbo values and cultural traditions at heart.
“I won the cultural pageant in November 2009 at Micheal Okpara Auditorium, Umuahia, Abia State after a two-week camping. It was the fifth edition of the pageant in collaboration with state government.”


Criteria used
“The judging began in camp. We had to go through so many screenings, physical exercises, intelligence quotient tests, talent hunt, choreography lessons and carrying out set tasks that would make Big Brother envy. The African pot was where all the contestants had to show their skills in preparing African dishes. We were also tested through essay writing in English Language and also our ability to speak Igbo without tears. We were lectured on womanhood, fashion, life issues, and poise. The results of all the segments came to play in addition to the voting of the audience.”
How successful is your reign as Ada ndi Igbo?

Where is your favourite holiday spot in the world?
“Have you been to the Uturu caves? It is simply wonderful, we have a lot of tourist attractions in Igboland and it is a must visit for every tourist. It gives you a feeling of being abroad.”
If you would love to meet anybody in the world, who would that be?
“Nelson Mandela, he is one man whom I love and respect so much. I admire his courage and humble attitude. He believed that something good can come out of his country and Africa as a whole and he fought for it.”
If we open your wardrobe, what clothes would we find there?
“I am a jean person because I am always up and doing. You can also find our local but beautifully designed materials in different styles made by my personal designer, Jennifersí signature.”
How are you handling advances from men?
“Well, they come, but I handle them by remaining focused and not losing my goal.”
What do you wish to be remembered for?
“I hate gender discrimination and I fight it. I want to be remembered for that stance.”
If you were to get married, what kind of man appeals to you?
“My man must be industrious, religious, honest and courageous. He has to be handsome too.”
What has your crown added to your life?
“Maturity. I meet different people everyday and I have learnt how to handle them because of my responsibilities as Her Royal Majesty, Ada ndi Igbo.”
