MZLAUREL'S QUESTION AND ANSWER

1. What has been your greatest achievement till date?



So far, I have been able to reach out to the less privileged in my environment. I have put, smile on people's faces.

Also, During this miss nairaland contest I have gained the respect of intelligent people. I'm more happy because they looked for the best in me, they gave me an opportunity to express my beauty and intelligence.
I can proudly say that for now, I've filled my niche and accomplished my task.


2. If there is one thing you can do to change the world, what will it be? If you were given Seun's powers as the owner of Nairaland for a day, what salient changes will you effect?


Due to my field of study (banking and finance) which is the part way to business Admin. I will establish a business that employs a lot of people. I'll try my best to put an end to penury by employing the jobless.

B) lol...If I was giving Mr Seun's power?...hahahaha! Well, I will be so happy but I won't dwell on it for a very long time since it's just for 24 hours. Within the short period of time, I'll spread the gospel of love around nairaland especially in the religion section.


I'll fight against tribalism by orienting nairalanders about the negative effect of it.

Lastly, I'll creat a 2 hrs chat thread where I'll will interact with nairalanders to let them feel more connected to me for some hours.

3. If you will be winning the crown tonight, what will be the very first thing you will do?

I will sing praises to the most high God who made it possible.


4. What will be your contribution to mitigate local terrorism?

Terrorism has eaten deep into the fabrics of the society and something has to be done.

First, I will do a grassroot.re orientation whereby kids prone to brainwashing are sensitised on dangers of indulging in such act. They will be made to understand that life is just too precious to be wasted as such. Also, I will teach them how to love fellow human in deeper levels. With this mindset, they won't be easily cajoled to indulge, in thus dastardly act.


5. What value does women play in life and how do you intend to work the current ms NL to promulgate your presence and status?

Women are the salt of the world..
Women are the solution to the world's problem.
Women risk their life in order to make the world a peaceful place.

Take a look at Malala Yousafzai, the 17yrs old lady who was shot in the head two years ago by Taliban gunmen in pakistan for insisting that girls also have the right to an education. Though She was a very young lady, she took risk not minding the consequence.

Women are the light to the world without women the world will be dark.

5b) hmmmm! I'll let people see a softer side of me. That is; I will interact on my account often.
I will respond to posts and mentions. I will show people who I am and let them feel more connected to me.


6. What are the sacrifices you have made for this contest?

I have not been able to sleep very for the past 7days. Sometimes, I skip breakfast and lunch. I also traveled all the way from Benin city to Ondo town to seek advise from a nairalander.
Pheew! I've sacrificed so many things.


7. How does this Miss NL contest, and any other beauty contest, contribute to humanity?


8. If you believe that God made everyone perfect and a reflection of His image, would He approve of a contest like this? which basically is an admission that we are essentially unequal, and should be ranked by looks?


Beauty pageant contestants who were bullied before the contest will have a better self esteem, confidence, positive self image after the contest.
A person who can not stand two people before the contest will be bold enough to stand thousand of people with confidence after the contest.


We are created in God's own image and likeness. Which basically means we are all winners regardless of whoever gets to clinch the crown. God who's just as interested in our inner beauty as in outer beauty will approve of this contest, because the competition made me appreciate the wonders surrounding the creation of a living human from mere dust.

As for our being unequal and ranked based on outlook, that is very far from it. This competition is just a way of reiterating the fact that we are all unique in our own way.


9. Many kids and teenagers are bullied worldwide for having "imperfect looks" -- buck teeth, large ears, overweight issues. What is your message to these young people?

I'll let them know that... A man is not known by what his neck downwards looks like rather he is known by what he's got in him from his neck upwards. Don't let negative comments on your physical appearance dissuade you from living your life. Just strive to be the best where ever you are and work to impact lives.

Wagging mouths will be forced to keep shut when they see your achievements. Learn from popular Nick viju Sic and excell beyond bounds in whatever you do.

CONTESTANT NO. 12

|>>>>TWACI|<<<<


Twaci is a native of Ohafia Local Government in Abia State, Nigeria. An aspiring undergraduate, who is currently a beauty therapist. She is in her early twenties.



Without much thought, she cites her mum as her role model. Her mum is a beautiful, industrious, courageous and very determined woman, (just to mention a few qualities) who taught her how to thrive and not just to merely survive.



When asked her favourite food, she says she doesn't joke with her tummy. A foodie i.e a food lover. She loves looking healthy and that's one the reasons she loves greens. Offer her vegetables with any nice combination and you are few steps away from finding your way into her heart.


She loves writing because it enables her draw from the deep wells of our heart while pouring out her innermost thoughts. She also loves reading. It widens her horizons, and a perfect way for her to just relax and refresh.


On what makes her different, she says "We are all born with a unique genetic blueprint and personally, I believe that there are certain things that I have been designed by God to do. Things that would represent a unique contribution to my country and to the world - the contribution that only I, my passion, my gifts, my talents can make happen. Those are my priorities in life.
At the end of my journey here on earth, I want leave my footprints in sands of time, knowing fully well that I wasn't trapped by dogma; which the legendary Steve Jobs referred to as living with the results of other peoples thinking.


Her loved ones she as an energetic young lady, full of compassion who does the right thing as at when due.
Her little kid bro had the most captivating reply she has heard so far. When she asked him, he just gave her a "side eye" look and said "You are Aunty Tu-Wa-Ci nah". She smiled because he gave the best answer.


She feels every contestant really deserves to win. Yet she truly deserves to be crowned Miss Nairaland because she is talented, warm-hearted, an active user, creative and inspiring.

Lets vote for the inspiring Twaci, Contestant No. 12 as the next Miss Nairaland.


TWACI'S VOICE NOTE

http://www.datafilehost.com/d/3cab9920



TWACI'S QUESTION AND ANSWER SESSION




1.What has been your greatest achievement till date?‬

Every achievement is gotten through realization of goals, be it personal and/or the ones the world has laid out for you. Every individual has got a set of goals and achievements, I included. But that which I can say is my greatest was seeing my younger ones through school against all odds, this goal I had set in 2009 when I had graduated from secondary school. I had to put to my education on hold to realize this, to help my mum provide for, build up and train my brothers and I must say, looking at the intelligent young men I have behind me, I am proud to declare that they are my greatest achievements till date.


‪2.If there is one thing you can do to change the world, what will it be?

If you were given Seun's powers as the owner of Nairaland for a day, what salient changes will you effect?‬

a) Our future is important, it determines what we will be and face in every step of the way. The little ones around us are our future, our tomorrow leaders. With this in mind, if I could change the world, I would give hope to the children found at the orphanages, motherless babies homes, children that believe that there is no future for them. I would give them a better life, a happier home, a beautiful childhood....I would put a smile on their pretty angelic faces because believe it or not, these angels are the key to our future happiness and the "betterment" of our tomorrow.

2b) On your second question,, i'll first of all give respect to seun for creating this forum. I don't think he knows the major positive impact he has put on majority Nigerians,,both youths and old people. The great effects of social networking cannot be by passed in our fast growing society today.

However as interesting as Nairaland is, there are some setbacks it has. The issue of cyber-bullying is becoming very rampant on this forum. Many people are not being given the freedom to air their opinions the best way they can. I'll ensure I employ hard working moderators who share the same ideas with me and are disciplined to clamp down on this menace before it begins to affect the sociological lifestyle of members of this forum. It will be a very sad thing if we hear that a member of this forum has committed suicide as a result of this cyber bullying. Many members who we no longer see today,,simply left because of the same issue.


‪3. If you will be winning the crown tonight, what will be the very first thing you will do?‬

Lol! I will scream, jump up and down, dance....you know those things girls do when excited na .

Ok, on a serious note, the very first thing I'll do is to acknowledge and thank all my supporters. Without them I wouldn't be here, wouldn't have pulled through. Their votes, time, love, support, even criticism made me strong and this I am grateful for.

I won't also forget to thank God because he is the one who made everything possible. Without his strength,,i wouldn't even have the courage to contest.

‪4 What will be your contribution to mitigate local terrorism?

Terrorism can be controlled by the Government either calling for an amicable settlement from which amnesty can be granted to the insurgents (e.g Niger Delta Militants) or by introducing the military method which we all refer to as "by fire, by force" (e.g, in the case of Boko Haram).

They can also control it by providing employment to the masses because when everyone works and reaps from his hard work, he wouldn't have the time and/or reason to start up any form of terrorism.

But as an individual, I can help in my own little way by;
(a) Giving reliable information to the right government officials should I suspect an impending uprising and/or take not of a suspicious character or group in my environs, and

Reaching out to the grass roots. Those around me counts too. I can enlighten them in anyway I can about the effects of terrorism, the damages and scars it leaves in the life of everyone, the country even, and encourage them to;
(i) Not take part in any form of terrorism, and
(ii) Report any suspicious activities in their environment.

‪5 What value does women play in life and how do you intend to work the current ms NL to promulgate your presence and status?‬

It is of no great news that women play a very great role in our society today. Women can be seen as the bedrock of life (no disrespect to our men),starting from when they give birth to children and the struggle they go through to see that the children survive to what they become in future. Nobody can do without his/her mother,,women are of great value in this life and i'm sure you all will agree with me.

Before I applied for this contest,there are some projects i've already been working on and i've created threads to help bring people together and talk about life and it's issues. Having the Miss. Nairaland status will just be an additional rank as a Nairalander and it won't make me bigger than anyone,,in fact the virtue of humility is now very important (this should also go to any contestant that eventually emerges as the winner). I'll use my status as the current Miss NL to bring Nairalanders together the best way I can and also try to help people with some real life issues. People must feel my impact before I finally hand over the crown to the next queen.


‪6. What are the sacrifices you have made for this contest?‬

~ LooL...actually it has not been easy. When I applied I never thought it would be this stressful. I had to cook dinner late on two occasions just because I was busy collating the number of voters I had. Mum almost called for my head. Lol. Other sacrifices i've made are: my precious sleep,,taking so many pictures and large use of data ;'(

‪

‪7. How does this Miss NL contest, and any other beauty contest, contribute to humanity?‬


Every true beauty contest's aim is to search for a rare gem among other gems...one to represent them all. What I am trying to say is that being Miss. Nairaland or a queen of which ever beauty contest, does not necessarily mean that you are the best. Its actually an opportunity to represent, to stand for the people behind you. To be the voice of your people and in this case, a voice to humanity.

The Miss. Nairaland contest also promotes social interaction between nairalanders. Every year when this contest holds, different people from the various sections across Nairaland come to witness it. People get to know each other and mingle,,there are interactions and there also fights,of course. But at the end of the day a major aim is achieved. The Miss. NL contest has taught me that there are really different kinds of people and they all have their ways of getting pleased. This I realised while campaigning for votes. Good social interaction among people is a potive effect on humanity.


‪8. If you believe that God made everyone perfect and a reflection of His image, would He approve of a contest like this? which basically is an admission that we are essentially unequal, and should be ranked by looks?‬


In fact at a point in this contest I had actually thought of it. Funny how you guys brought it up. You must be mind readers, Lol. No, a contest do not say that people are unequal and should be ranked by looks, rather it helps to redefine every mindset in that aspect. A true beauty contest searches past the beauty, brains and even character to know the contestants' true motive. Is he/she responsible enough to carry out the required duties?

It appreciates and picks out the one with the most sincere motive, one that is responsible enough to move the people he/she represents forward.

‪9. Many kids and teenagers are bullied worldwide for having "imperfect looks", buck teeth, large ears, overweight issues. What is your message to these young people?

Everyone can be beautiful. True beauty is not what you see when you stand before a mirror, no, neither is it what the world thinks of you. It is the person you are inside, the soul within that body you think is ugly. True beauty comes from within. It is that bright light that shines from a pure and happy heart and illuminates that smile on your face.

Being beautiful is being able to leave a positive impact on the life of others around you, to make those around you smile. So buckteeth or not, obese or toothpicky...smile because you are beautiful and don't forget, the flesh will die off someday but a truly beautiful soul will be remembered till the end of time.

The only thing i will change the situation of troubles in the world for peace.

And in aspect of generating more traffic u need to come employ more force.

To imagine is to see beyond the status quo the possibility of a new world ,a new reality.The first thing I will do, is to thank everyone who has been like a solid rock for me.Those who took their time just to see me up here..I'm going to use the opportunity to show How grateful I am.


4. What will be your contribution to mitigate local terrorism?

Terrorism, I believe is a violent act that begins from childhood. The best thing to do is to introduce the Fear of God into the growing ones. And for terrorist ,I would find out they are into it and fix it If it's fixable. Because Most of them are into terrorism due to lack of unemployment and poverty and some because of their terrible selfish heart desire,evil way of life.


5. What value do women play in life and how do you intend to work the current Miss Nairaland to promulgate your presence and status?


A woman is a designer that can design a home,wonderful, precious,priceless and valuable.. In the presence of a woman, that is Where you belong. Even within our families, there are struggles and challenges were face,but with the presence a Valuable woman,there is peace and joy.

7. How does this Miss NL contest, and any other beauty contest, contribute to humanity?


NL contest and any other Beauty contest contribute to humanity in a way of giving people the opportunity to exhibit their potentials and making them feel less inferior ,Maybe because of their height, stature like mine #winks ,or looks which makes them feel they are not worthy to be seen. Beauty contest give courage, the confidence in human and makes you popular.


8. If you believe that God made everyone perfect and a reflection of His image, would He approve of a contest like this? which basically is an admission that we are essentially unequal, and should be ranked by looks?
Yes,but equality shouldn't be ranked by looks. One may look good and have No sense of humor, manners. Fine,we are not equal, but it can never be ranked by looks.
There is more to life than Beauty.


9. Many kids and teenagers are bullied worldwide for having "imperfect looks" -- buck teeth, large ears, overweight issues. What is your message to these young people?

Do not make yourself less inferior because they are many people that are disable and still making it than people that are very OK....To make it in life has nothing to do with your look. You are beautiful and wonderfully mad.

TOHPAHZ'S VOICENOTE


http://www.datafilehost.com/d/81a6f517


TOHPAHZ'S QUESTION AND ANSWER SESSION


1. What has been your greatest achievement till date?

During my first year, my name was among the top 4 best nursing students.

2.If there is one thing you can do to change the world, what would it be? If you were given seun's powers as the owner of nairaland for a day, What salient changes would you effect?


Education is the key. Changing the world would require teaching people how to love each other, how to co-exist, live in peace and harmony, use what we have (science and technology, natural and human resources, time, energy etc) in order to better man's stay on earth.
Because i believe that if people can love each other,coexist together, maximize the full potentials made available to us in harmony the world would be a much better place.
If i were given seun's powers, hmmmmmm. Just a day?? It's too small oo.. anyway in that time, i'd try to make the forum more interesting, informative and also restrict the flow of irrelevant topics to the front page.

3.If you will be winning the crown tonight, what will be the very first thing I'd do?

The very first thing I'd do is thank God and my supporters .. The very first feeling/reaction would be woooooooow!!

4.What will be your contribution to mitigate local terrorism?


Avoidance of tribalism and religion segregation: This is one thing that fuels terrorism and it has to be stopped /reduced.
Prayers: Appealing to God would also do great good.
Entrepreneurship: The spirit of entrepreneurship will enable me provide for myself /family,employ labour. This will contribute to reducing the rate of unemployment in the country as idle minds,they say is the devil's workshop.
Enlightenment: My people perish for lack of knowledge, making people know things like how to handle issues, how to dialogue,making them know that violence isn't the way forward, awareness on how to live peacefully would go a long way in reducing terrorism.
Equity: The government should create a balance in all spheres of economy/geo-political zones to reduce the feeling of inequality among the people.

5.what value do women play in life and how do you intend to work the current Miss Nairaland to promulgate your presence and status?

Women are a very important part of society and life in general.. Going back to the beginning, a woman was created due to a need,a need that needed to be filled..
So a woman's role cannot be overemphasized. From the home to the outside world she is present..In the home she is a helper, a companion, a home builder,without her(neck), the man(head cannot function. she cares for the domestic needs of the family,She's an advisor when it's time for it, she is like a bee,always working on something (from dawn to dusk,she toils ).
In the outside world, she maintains a balance (imagine a world with men alone, very boring.. lol)
A woman is an anchor,when she sets her mind to something, she does it.. a woman helps the man's growth and also achieves hers.

I intend to promulgate my presence by adding to the informative content of nl,by communicating effectively with people i come across on nl while giving everyone a chance to air their views openly and wholly.

6. What are the sacrifices you have made for this contest?

I've been on nairaland for longer hours than before, due to this longer hours, i've had to study for longer periods,,staying awake some nights,relinquished a little of privacy, (well i guess it's needed in a way for the contest.)have been called mean things,and others.
But in this, i have learnt so much about self control, true friendship, team work,balancing things in life,use of time etc...

7. How does this miss nairaland contest &any other beauty contest contribute to humanity..

Beauty contests create a platform for a person to represent,and inasmuch as there is a winner it doesn't mean others who contested are not good enough,so negatively it can breed hate and low self esteem for oneself. But positively, it promotes the spirit of sportsmanship, it enables one discover new things /abiabilities as i'm doing now, it showcases both the inner  beauty/outer beauty  and capabilities to people, it brings about the spirit of unity e.g when people work together to achieve a common goal which is the success of their preferred contestant,it is also a means of having fun.

8.If you believe that God made everyone perfect and a reflection of his image,would he approve of a contest like this, basically that is an admission that we are essentially unequal and should be ranked by looks?

Lol, well i'm not God so i don't know whether he approves or not.. 

But in my opinion, i don't think contests are admissions that we are unequal and should be ranked by looks because everyone is beautiful in his/her way, it just takes the right person/people to see it, as they say,beauty lies is in the eyes of the beholder.

So contests doesn't mean people are ranked by looks, people who don't make it to get the crown can't be said to be ugly/not beautiful. It just means that there has to be a winner and everyone can't get the crown at once.  

9. Many teenagers and kids are bullied worldwide for having imperfect looks,buck teeth, large ears,overweight issues..  what is your message to them?

My messages to them are; 

*Believe in yourself, and your abilities,see yourself as a unique person that can do whatever that is needed to survive normally .

*Learn to improve your self esteem and work on things that will be beneficial to you and others ,this makes you a better person. 

*Imperfect looks doesn't mean you can't function in the society as a normal human being,you can socialize with others irrespective of the castigation in our society today.  

Seek help. Plastic surgery(provided you have the money) can make you look better, for overweight people, dieting and exercise helps a lot too..

Thanks.

CONTESTANT NO. 7

>>>>|SANDRAHNAUB|<<<<

Sandrahnaub hails from Imo state in the eastern part of Nigeria.
She is a 19 yrs old 200level medical student of Houdegbe North American University.
When asked what her favourite food is, she simply says "I love to swallow", be it eba,pounded yam etc. ‎Her role models are Ben Carson and her mum.


When she isn't reading her voluminous medical books, you would find her cooking or hanging out.


Her sense of reasoning and the fact that she is always smiling makes her different.
She is that daughter/sister/cousin/friend who hardly frowns, is always smiling, cracking jokes, ever compassionate and willing to help the needy.



When we asked her why she deserves to win the contest, she says "I deserve to be the Miss Nairaland because I want the opportunity to really come out to help people (that's one major reason I ventured into the medical field) and teach people how to laugh again, seriously, if there is a price for this pageantry I don't know, I just want to have fun as this is my first pageant ".


Vote the compassionate Sandrahnaub, Contestant No 7 as the next Miss Nairaland.

SANDRAHNAUB'S QUESTION AND ANSWER SESSION.


1. What has been your greatest achievement till date?

ANS: My greatest achievement would be bringing my parent back together.


2.If there is one thing you can do to change the world, what will it be? If you were given Seun's powers as the owner of Nairaland for a day, what salient changes will you effect?


ANS: A)‎ If I could change anything in the world I would want to change how people always turn to violence to solve their issues. Violence is a serious situation that has gotten us into nothing but trouble because we are always trying to resolve matters that may or may not concern us. For example, in this country. "Boko haram" thinks that, impregnating , kidnapping, molesting teenage girls‎, and killing people is going to solve their problem which is false, It can't and it will never solve issues with the FG.

B) Mehn!!!, to my level of understanding of nairaland, I don't think I will change anything Seun osewa is really doing a great job


3. If you will be winning the crown tonight, what will be the very first thing you will do?


ANS: Express my heart felt profound gratitude to nairalanders, other things will come next

4. What will be your contribution to mitigate local terrorism?

ANS: Mitigating terrorism, *sighs*
* 1st thing I will do is create awareness i.e through seminar and speech about the risk and prevention of terrorism most especially to the YOUTHS who would be considering‎ terrorism

‎2ndly I will assist my country security i.e police army e.t.c. By reporting /giving them info that may seem helpful in fighting terrorism( when I detect the activities of individuals and organizations who may pose a terrorist threat‎, I report).


5. What value does women play in life and how do you intend to work the current Miss NL to promulgate your presence and status.




A woman play a huge value in this life‎ starting from the family, a role of mother, and we all know that family may be d smallest basic social unit, but it has played the larger role of grooming the leaders of tomorrow, and the present leaders. As. We all know this wouldn't have bin possible without the help of a mother, A WOMAN.

6. What are the sacrifices you have made for this contest?


Made so many sacrifices, one of it is my time... and m ready to make more sacrifice when I become miss nairaland 2015.


7. How does this Miss NL contest, and any other beauty contest, contribute to humanity?


Beauty pageant like miss nairaland and others‎ promote advocate on humanitarian issues (such as visit to the motherless baby homes, prison, school for the handicap. E.t.c), promote tourism, and serve as cultural envoy across the world.




8. If you believe that God made everyone perfect and a reflection of His image, would He approve of a contest like this? which basically is an admission that we are essentially unequal, and should be ranked by looks?



ANS: Well I think God is in support of beauty pageant (if not he wouldn't have initiated this in d 1st place). Some people feel/ think that beauty pageant is about beauty alone, I disagree, beauty pageant, I see it as opportunity for a woman/man to come out and showcase their confidence, talent e.t.c





9. Many kids and teenagers are bullied worldwide for having "imperfect looks" -- buck teeth, large ears, overweight issues. What is your message to these young people?


ANS: I see my self as a point of reference, my advice to them is love yourself, until then will people learn 2 see the beauty in u and appreciate u ‎...and also be grateful to God, for there are other people with much worse disabilities.

Asides the fact that you've been viewing their pictures for some days now and have voted based on what you've been seeing, now it's time to vote based on what you SEE, what you READ and what you HEAR

As you scroll down your screen, you'll see these beautiful ladies' profiles on display and with their profiles are the questions we gave to them and the answers provided. That's not all, you'll see a link directing you to the VOICENOTE made by the conteatant you're viewing her profile. Cool ain't it?

Let's relax and enjoy. Do remember it's one man, one vote. Don't vote based on sentiments. We need the best to take the crown!!


Here's the question they answered in their Voice notes!
[size=16pt]There is a view that the most important thing women have to offer in a relationship is sex (their bodies). What is your take on this?[/size]
