...........AND THE NEW MBGN 2013 IS............MISS BAYELSA. JUST LIKE WE HAD PREDICTED.

 

THE WINNER

1ST RUNNER UP

Should we say it was a rigorous battle for the crown? We just might. It started with 32 and then it was reduced to 15 queens- Miss Delta, Nasarawa, Kogi, Rivers, Edo, Ekiti, Jigawa, Adamawa, Abuja, Lagos, Kwara, Kaduna, Bayelsa, Plateau, Imo. Just before the top 5 was announced one of Bayelsa's best known sons, Timi Dakolo serenaded the girls. And thereafter the top 5 girls were announced and they were Miss Kaduna, Imo, Bayelsa, Adamawa & Abuja.

The 5 now had to answer some extra easy questions- And that was where Miss Abuja who before the questions & answers session was looking like a clear winner seemingly lost the crown. She totally bungled it. It was shame.............

Then Guy Murray-Bruce came up to announce the winners & runners-up. And the winner is.............. Miss Bayelsa, with Miss Imo as the 1st runner up, 2nd runner-up-Miss Adamawa, 3rd runner-up Kaduna and the 4th runner up is Miss Abuja. 

We do not want to gloat too much by saying we told you, Miss Bayelsa would win. The winner is going home with a salary from Silverbird, another #500,000 from one of the sponsors, A brand new car and a Cartier watch courtesy of Polo Limited. 

For emerging the winner, Anna E. Banner, the queen was immediately named by the Governor of Bayelsa State as the new Special Assistant on Culture & Tourism. Not only that she also became the state's culture & tourism ambassador. Lucky girl, don't you all think. Very soon sha we won't believe in this beauty pageants again.

Congratulations Bayelsa.

SO WHO TAKES OVER FROM ISABELLA AYUK? MBGN 2013 SET FOR JULY 20, 2013

ANNA E. BANNER

SABRINA IDUKPAYE

TIAMIYU ADERONKE

The 35 gals (some stunning, some not too and many ordinary) vying for this year's crown are battle ready. All the 35 States of the federation minus 1-Zamfara are being represented, including Abuja the FCT. 

This year's event is going to the oil rich, South-south State of Bayelsa. Set for the only venue in Yenogoa, not too far from the Government house. If it pans out the way we are suspecting, the lady from Bayelsa State- Anna E. Banner (34-36-39), 18 years old, might just be the next MBGN 2013. In a way, it could just be a way of saying thank you for the sponsorship.

It has been an eventful 1 year for the outgoing queen- Isabella Agbor-Ayuk, at least after the initial uproar that followed her crowning, she was able to have a scandal free reign. In between her reign, she launched her own clothing label in Abuja and all her dreams seem to have come true in the short period, at least winning the crown like she wanted to has worked out well. 

It's most likely going to be the fulfillment of another young lady's dream come July 20, 2013 in Yenogoa, Bayelsa. Who deserves to wear the crown? Who are your favourite to make the top 10? Would the most truly beautiful of the girls carry the day?

We are all watching to see. One curious thing is, are this girls truly as young as they all claim to be? 

Who deserves the crown? Let's chose together. 

Our own favourite 15 and in no particular order are as follows- Miss Abuja, Edo, Ondo, Enugu, Ekiti, Oyo, Rivers, Sokoto, Ogun, Kwara, Adamawa, Anambra, Akwa-Ibom, Osun & Lagos. Do you all agree with our list?

The venue could only allow for 500 guests, so much so that even an ex-queen was 'gated' and wasn't allowed in, majorly because 2 sets of IV's were printed and some of those with the scroll like IV's weren't allowed in, while the IV card's printed by Daily Times allowed guests in without stress. 

Some of the other former queens that attended were Helen Ajayi-Miss Nigeria 1979, Binta Sukai-Miss Nigeria 1990, Nwando Okwuosa-Miss Nigeria 2003, while the incredibly gorgeous Anita Iseghohi, MBGN 2004 also attended with her husband, Tom Iseghohi. 

Some of the dignitaries that attended were the 1st lady of Ekiti State, Erelu Bisi Fayemi, Ms Sally Mbanefo, the DG of NTDC, Ex-International J.J Okocha, who was a judge, Ex-beauty queen in the 80's and now founder of Isis Model and owner of the NNSM competition, Mrs. Joan Okorodudu, talk show host & founder of EbonyLife Tv, Mo Abudu, Publisher of Genevieve Magazine, Betty Irabor, Hon. Abike Dabiri & her husband, Olumide & Dakore Akande, top Nigerian designer, Frank Osodi and many other guests. 

There were performances by the duo of Seyi Shay and Kaycee of the Limpopo fame. The event was hosted by the comedian AY & Eku Edewor, while there was comedy skits by the duo of Bovi & the newly married Elenu.
