Did you know fashion designer Maryam Elisha tried out for Miss Nigeria twice? In 2010 Nike Oshinowo, then the Miss Nigeria pageant director, dismissed Elisha after the latter revealed she was a university student who also dabbled in fashion designing. This revelation led to Oshinowo accusing the young hopeful of concealing further information regarding her life whilst concluding Elisha already lived a perfect life, and therefore didn't need Miss Nigeria. Is that unfair or what?

And years later, the Miss Nigeria Organisation begged the award-winning designer to sponsor the latest edition of their pageant. They have some heavy nerve. Oh, and did I mention that Elisha has served as style consultant for MBGN, Miss Nigeria's biggest rivals? Ha ha.

Remember - Success is the best form of revenge.
