The First Lady, Dame Patience Jonathan,
has challenged women to always be responsible
and to use their positions to positively impact on
the society and the less privileged.

Represented by Mrs Peace Nnaji, the first lady
gave the advice at the Miss United Nations
Nigeria Pageant 2015 in Abuja on Sunday.
Jonathan congratulated Miss Precious Chikwendu,
who won the 2014 edition of the pageant in
Kingston, Jamaica.

She expressed optimism that such pageants would
enable contestants develop their personalities and
make them stronger and passionate to positively
impact on the society.

She said Chikwendu brought honour to Nigeria by
virtue of her not only winning the crown, but the
hosting right for the Nigerian version of the
pageant.

She added that being a beauty queen, was not
easy as it seems because the queen had to be the
best in whatever she does in order to achieve her
goals.

The first lady, however, said that the beauty of a
woman grows with the passing years.

“Remember, looking good is worth all the
troubles, this is because beauty is the totality of
the state of a woman’s health, physically,
psychologically and mentally,’’ she said.
Jonathan reminded the contestants that it was all
right to lose because there were no losers in
pageants as all contestants were winners.

She also added that pageant was not only about
winning the crown but about what was done after
the victory, and charged the contestants to be
responsible and useful to the society.

A quality, she said, the outgoing queen Chikwendu
had exhibited during her tenure.

She added that on her part, she had through non-
governmental organisations and programmes
encouraged the girl-child and women generally to
be who they want to be and express their natural
talents.

Jonathan assured the outgoing queen of her
continued support in her determination to make
young women better citizens.

Chikwendu said her NGO “Snow White Foundation’’
adopted a lifecycle approach of development,
focusing its interventions on children, their
families and the larger community with emphasis
on the less privileged.

According to her, beauty transcends the physical,
is not just an outward thing but the inner
qualities of an individual.

Chikwendu maintained that beauty pageant had
moved beyond wearing crown and cat-walking to
impact positively on the society.

The outgoing queen explained that the main focus
of the pageant was to have volunteers who were
ready to use beauty to add value to humanity.
She held that it focused on volunteer work,
adding that each contestant must have a
background in volunteer work for her community.
“This sisterhood strengthens them to see beyond
their immediate surroundings and situations and
extends their services across the globe.

“As each contestant shares ideas of how she
serves her community, more women will be
strengthened and edified because their paths
have crossed for good,” Chikwendu said.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that
contestants at the 2015 Nigerian version of the
pageant were accessed on the basis of character,
personality, conversational skill, beauty, fashion
and intelligence.

The pageant had a category for singles; married
women, single mothers and teens because of it
believe that every woman had a voice at any stage
of her life.

Winners of the teens and married women
categories will be further groomed and will join
Miss United Nations (Nigeria) to represent
Nigeria at the main Miss United Nations Pageant
holding in July in Kingston, Jamaica.

Miss Vivian Nnamani, who represented the
Federal Capital Territory (FCT), emerged as Miss
United Nations (Nigeria) while Miss Kessy Isong,
representing Akwa Ibom, emerged as first runner
up.

However, the winners were expected to go home
with a cash reward and a brand new car.

A formal Minister of Aviation, Mr Femi Fani-
Kayode, who was one of the special guests at the
pageant, described it as exceptional.

“This is a pageant with a different, am excited to
be here and so proud about the contestants and
the organisers of the event.

“Am particularly happy that the first lady said
such nice things about the pageant and the
organisers and her assurance of continues
support,’’ he said

The 2015 Miss United Nations Nigeria Pageant
was sponsored by Chikwendu, the outgoing queen.
