To Restore The Dignity Of Beauty Contest In Nigeria And Get Agbani Daregoo A Successor

Pageantry in Nigeria is no longer a Beauty Contest.  It is an avenue where individuals and enterprises generate income via selling the crowns  and sending the contestants to sleep with men(politicians)    to get financial aid.
    Selling of of tickets by the contests is a normal cosmology of most Beauty Contest  in Nigeria.  The contestant who sells the highest number of tickets stands more chance of winning.
My question is,  'how can beauty, intelligence and creative performance be judged through this platform!
If a very beautiful young girl who is very intelligent have creative skills to pull her audience and judges is not financially buoyant to meets up with the demands of the agency , what is her fate ' !
    There are cases where fellow contestants buy cars and give to the organisers to brand just to ensure  that they emerge as the winners.  This implies that no matter how well another contestant performs,  she can not get the 👑 crown because the car belongs to another contestant.
    *Have  you ever wonder why no Nigerian have been able to make their audience proud since after the reign of Agbani Darego as the Most Beautiful Girl In Nigeria MBGN 2001 which made her eligible for the Miss World Pageant where she emerged as Miss World 2001!*
  Agbani Darego was crowned Miss World 2001, making her the first black woman from Africa ever to emerge as Miss World  because the criteria for judging is base on Beauty,  Brain, and Creative performance.
   If Modeling Agencies and Pageant Organizers can restore their Dignity and put an end to these child's play, we have beautiful and intelligent girls here in Nigeria who will succeed Agbani Darego.

Is President Buhari Dead?

The Nigerian Embassy has news that President Buhari left for UK for a 10-day vacation to undergo medical checkup.

One of the President's aides who accompanied him to the UK spoke on condition of anonymity said that the President has been battling an "unknown disease" for a while now.

Though the decision to receive medical care in the foreign land angered some of his countrymen. The Nigerian Community in London have expressed deep shock for the president's demise.

This is the second time in a year that Buhari has sought medical treatment outside Nigeria; He also traveled to London in June 2016 and met an ear, nose and throat specialist after contracting an ear infection.

The Presidency last night refuted speculations that President Muhammadu Buhari was in a terrible health condition that could lead to his death,  saying the President is well and alive.

The Presidency spoke through the two media aides of the President on media and publicity namely Mr Femi Adesina who's the Special Adviser and Malls Garba Shehu who's the Senior Special Assistant. Adesina thanked all those who wished the President well while asking for the grace of God for the repentance on all those who carried the rumours. He said, "Best wishes to all who wish PMB well.  As for those who carry evil rumours, may they receive grace to repent.
Also reacting to the speculations concerning the health of the President, Shehu, in a message he posted on Twitter @Garshehu said,  "He is alive and well! President Buhari is not magical. He cannot be holidaying in the UK & be in Germany, dead or alive at the same time". He added that Buhari was unlike the past president who was at Ota with Chief Obasanjo and attending Trump's inauguration in Washington DC,  being in two place at the same time.

It will be recalled that President Buhari left Nigeria on Thursday for United Kingdom on a medical vacation. The nature of his sickness was not disclosed but the Presidency called it a routine medical checkup...
