For those of you who care to know, here are a few intimate details of Nigeria's Most Beautiful Girl 2007, Munachi Nwankwo.
Age: 19
State Of Origin: Imo
Educational Background: 200L student, Benson Idahosa University, Benin
Status: Single. Not in any relationship
Childhood dream: To be a beauty queen
How she came about contesting for MBGN : Her friend encouraged her to get the MBGN form. She was reluctant at first because she thought she was too short, but was talked into contesting by friends and family
Pageant experience: No prior experience in pageantry. MBGN was her first.
What gave her the crown: According to her, God
If she thought she was going to win: She didn't really think she was going to win, but kept an open mind.
If she was intimidated by other girls: She wasn't because she didn't go into the pageant with a do or die notion. She felt a little insecure though, because some of the other contestants referred to her as fat, but she held her head up high through out camp (Her words).
Her parents support and reaction to her winning: Her parents were extremely supportive. Her mum was there with her through out praying and encouraging her with words. Her dad was in London all through her camping and winning but was encouraging with words.
How she intends to handle men and avoid scandals: To be as low key as possible. The glamour and crown will not make her forget where she's coming from. She will handle her reign as decent and as intelligent as possible with God on her side
Next on her wish list: To win Miss World
What she intends to do after her reign: To stay in the entertainment industry because that is where she has always wanted to be.
Her role models: Her mum, Opral Benson and Beyonce
Munachi in words: Humble, friendly, God fearing, emotional, likes to help people and laughs alot.
I'm feeling our new queen. She might not be tall or have that striking Miss World beauty like Agbani, but there's something about her that I just can't place my fingers on...maybe I should say she's special? The last time we had a beauty queen like her was MBGN 1998, Chika Chikezie. A regular everyday pretty girl, that has more than looks to offer. People are saying she won't go far at the Miss World pageant, this girl might surprise us all, not by winning but by making a statement. You do not have to be strikingly beautiful and tall to be a beauty queen. Beauty on the inside also matters and I think she's got it!
I have two questions for y'all:
1. If you had been one of the judges, would you have picked her as the queen over all the others?
2. Can you describe Munachi's beauty and personality in one word?
