18 years, Oluwateniola Surayi Elegbede has emerged winner at the Miss Nigeria UK beauty pageant in 2020.
In an exclusive
interactive session with the publisher of Giraffeglobal Publisher, Akin Sokoya
during her visit to Nigeria recently, this vibrant and intelligent queen opens
up on her winning secrets, her projects, how she will influence young girls to
success and why she won't go into any stupid love affairs.
On how she won the beauty pageant, she said '' I won Miss Nigeria UK 2020 through prayers, hard work and perseverance. I made a mental decision that despite whether or not I would win, I would try my very best hardest and in doing so, I won the crown''
On her projects, '' I
plan to carry out my charity EVLY project by connecting with sponsors,
accepting donations from the general public and starting an online store for
smaller projects to be put in place for the overall aim of creating a better
Africa for our future generations to be achieved'' she said.
When asked on how
Nigerians would benefit from her reign, Oluwateniola said: Nigerian will
benefit from my reign because of my location as it enables me to spread
awareness of issues going on in Nigeria and in the UK and promote Nigerian
culture/ heritage as well as use first World resources from the UK for the
benefit of Nigeria ''
She also spoke on the
visible project she has carried out since she was crowned.'' I have been able
to put together a queens conversation series on Instagram that can be viewed on
the official Miss Nigeria UK page but has unable to start up any project for
charity due to lack of resources and restrictions of COVID. But with it being a
life long goal, I have the utmost belief
that I will achieve everything I wanted with it''.
Elegbede further said, her charity organization EVLY's aim is to create a better home for the future generations of Africa. She added that EVLY will soon be starting an online business selling productivity products and Africa's inspired merch from which all profits will be reinvested into the charity as well as fighting to combat poverty, economic inequality, education quality, clean water and sanitation.
On how she will use her reign to influence some young girls who have lost their visions in life due to challenges, hear her, " I will use my reign to not only stand tall as a strong, independent and committed black female figure but to also prove through continuous achievement that anything is possible if you simply commit, push, and strive towards the things you want in life regardless of the obstacles that came your way.
After her two years reign
as Miss Nigeria UK expires, Oluwateniola plans to start her journey towards
Miss World/ Miss Universe by taking part
in the MBGN pageant to qualify for them.
By all standard, Miss
Nigeria UK deserves to be an ambassador to any products that are available to
her but by moral standard, she hinted that she would never agree to promote a
product or service she doesn't believe believe in.
On her love life, this
sexy but focused queen said, she doesn't have any boyfriend. "Though love
is a beautiful thing and I get advances from boys but I would never engage
myself in stupid love affairs with any man for now'', she said.
