The 18-year-old Ekeremor-born Queen emerged winner amongst other 10 girls who contested for the prestigious Miss Bayelsa 2020 crown after a week-long camp over the weekend.


The event which was graced by political class, business tycoons, international NGOs, family, friends, and well-wishers was at a different class since the inception of the contest 20 years ago.

According to the Beauty Queen, she was inspired at the age of 16 to pursue a career in modelling but excited that her dream has come to pass as she turned 21 as she is crowned a Queen and addressed as a 'Her Majesty' during her first outing.
