Ada Joy Agwu Eme, a 24-year-old model and event planner representing Abia, simply known as Ada Eme was proclaimed the Most Beautiful Girl in Nigeria (MBGN) 2022 in a glittering national competition held at Eko Hotel & Suites in Lagos.
She beat 36 other contestants from around Nigeria for the coveted title and crown on Friday night.
Ada hails from Amaogudu Abiriba in the Ohafia Local Government Area of Abia State.
The 34th annual pageant was hosted by actor, Deyemi Okanlawon and a former Most beautiful girl in Nigeria, Munachi Abii.
Miss Edo, Montana Onose Felix, finished second and received the title of Miss Universe Nigeria 2022 while Miss Anambra, Genevieve Ukatu, Miss Abuja, Ifeoma Uzogheli, and Miss Lagos, Lydia Balogun rounded out the Top 5 and took home the titles Miss Supranational Nigeria, Miss Ecowas Nigeria, and Miss Tourism Nigeria, respectively.
Ada succeeded Oluchi Madubuike, who was crowned Most Beautiful Girl in Nigeria in 2021.
Ada will go on to represent Nigeria at the next Miss World pageant, while Montana Felix would be Nigeria’s representative at Miss Universe.
The new Miss World Nigeria advocates for empowering young women and children in her country through education. She said in a short video clip for the MBGN pageant: “I strongly believe that education gives us a fighting chance and a voice, and I believe this is the true essence of beauty and who I am as an individual.”
Nigeria has won Miss World once with Agbani Darego, the Most Beautiful Girl in Nigeria 2001, and the first black African to win the international title.
Originally known as Miss Universe Nigeria, it was renamed Most Beautiful Girl in Nigeria after news publishers Daily Times lost their license to send delegates from rival contest Miss Nigeria to Miss World.
