THE AMAKA, can you plz post the pix of Miss Ekiti?

Ok, no individual pixs? Very unorganized. . . .

Thanks sha. Lovely pixz

How come some people enjoy being paraded on stage like show animals?

Oh, found miss Ekiti, she's the chick in the blue. Not impressed at all.

this is serious.

the girl is somewhat pretty, but i think contestants might have to start representing tribes instead of states.

either that or a new competition is needed, since it seems some parts of nigeria have totally abandoned mbgn.

whatever happened to the old miss nigeria pageant organized by daily times?

even the new miss usa is lebanese, just to show how donald trump organizes this thing.

Seun, it's called a beauty show and they're contestants, they are not parading.

She's not stunning. . . the Miss LaCasera girl is more pretty to me.

That's Agbani sitting with the Bruce's right? Very funny that her name isn't listed as past winners, yet she's the only one who's won Miss World  .

She's more stunning than the winner sef

Really good pick. The winner is quite cute! Thumbs up to MBGN.

The winner is quite pretty. Hopefully they update her hair/makeup/fashion for the Miss World competition.

Nobody has abandoned the mgbn.

If U feel u have what it takes to be a beauty queen, nothing stops u from contesting.

THE AMAKA:

My mom's family is gonna be represented as a tribe.

*Hauwa*:

do you have any evidence to back up this claim or are you fantasizing and wishing it were true?

I was in Nigeria last year and I watched the audition.
There are so many girls that want to be MGBN.
It's left for the oganisers to choose who fits in.
Rmbr there are so many beauty contest in Nigeria.

MBGN 2010! FIONA AMUZIE.

Was about to post that link.

After looking at those pictures, I agree with mama-gee, the contestants were definitely not stunning, what the heck happened this year?

They even spelt Plateau wrong, wow.

Don't mind losers. They claim abandonment just to pacify their ugly self.

She's just there. . .not stunning like Munachi Abi Nwankwo.

The winner is cute. I noticed that most participans were from the east, despite the states they represent.

She is at least better than the last winner. but nothing really special. Munachi and Adaeze were better.

Hello everyone I think this young women is a real african beauty, natural without any superficial staff I am very proud of her but F gators is right the first or second runner up was absolutely stunning

She's pretty but I dunno if she's the most beautiful of all the contestants.

I know. Such a shame.

MBGN Tourism is absolutely stunning, in my opinion. And Miss LaCasera(whatever that is).

I know!! One of 'em 2 should've won.

LaCasera is a crappy tasting drink imo, I think it is manufactured in Naija, I believe.

Compared to the last winner, this one is better. See her belle in that swim suit.
