In a night filled with feminine energy, cultural pride and excitement, Doris Ogah, a 26-year-old lawyer and model representing the South-south region, emerged as the 45th Miss Nigeria. For the grand coronation ceremony held on December 19, 2024, destination was the Royal Box, Victoria Island, Lagos.

The event, which was a showcase of beauty, intelligence, and cultural heritage, saw Doris Ogah rise above 44 other contestants to claim the coveted crown. She succeeds Shatu Garko, who left behind a legacy of impact and inspiration during her reign.

The journey began with 20 finalists selected from different geopolitical zones, eventually narrowing down to a top 10 that included: Ann Eneanya, Abosede Sorinola, Oluwatofunmi Adekola, Praise Obafemi, Diane Paul, Simeon Obianujuwa, Faith Ogbele, Divine Nelson, Oluwabukumi Ogunsanya, and Doris Ogah.

In a thought-provoking question-and-answer session, the contestants were asked, “If you win your crown tonight, how will you use your platform to address the challenges faced by Nigerian youths?”

From there, Ann Eneanya, Divine Nelson, Diane Paul, Oluwabukumi Ogunsanya, and Doris Ogah advanced to the final five. Following another round of engaging responses, the judges crowned Doris Ogah as Miss Nigeria 2024.

The evening kicked off with a vibrant cultural attire showcase, followed by a dance performance by the contestants- a remix performance of the Nigerian National Anthem. Adding to the excitement was an electrifying musical performance by Kcee.

The event was hosted by former beauty queen Adaeze Aduaka, with Beauty Tukura engaging guests on the red carpet.

The panel of judges, led by media mogul Mo Abudu, included prominent personalities like designer Mai Atafo, actress Kate Henshaw, photographer Kelechi Amadi-Obi, actress Ini Edo, TV host Michelle Dede, and former Miss Nigeria Ezinne Akudo Anyaoha, among others.

In her farewell speech, Shat

Miss Nigeria is an annual pageant show which showcases the positive attributes of Nigerian women. The winner portrays exemplary qualities and serves as a role model for young women in the country.

The Miss Nigeria Beauty Pageant since its maiden edition in 1957 has continued to represent the ideals and dignity of the Nigerian woman which is a rare combination of beauty and brains. The Miss Nigeria Beauty Pageant also provides a unique platform to communicate the beauty and rich cultural heritage of our country to the rest of the world.

The beauty pageant promotes Nigerian pride and patriotism with the belief in each contestant that she is capable of achieving the unthinkable.

My ‘date’ for this week is the delectable Ezinne Akudo Anyaoha who is a law graduate and the 2013 holder of Miss Nigeria.

One day Ezinne isn’t quick to forget was when her friend ran to her, crying, because she had just been raped while walking to class to read at night. “I didn’t know how to react or how to cope with the anger that was burning inside me.” Says Ezinne.

This was what influenced the establishment of Ezinne’s foundation named ‘The Eight Foundation’ which is a non-governmental organisation dedicated to highlighting the issue of sexual violence against women and committed to providing victims with the necessary support or services that would help them feel better at a traumatic time in their lives.

Ezinne grew up just like the ideal ‘girl next door’ that wasn’t allowed to interact with other people living in the neighbourhood. Her parents insisted that she and her siblings remained indoors and whenever they complained, they would be told ‘a person that is always in his house stays out of trouble’. This didn’t make sense to me Ezinne until a few years ago. “I was raised just like every other regular girl, my siblings and I had every important thing we needed even though we d

Scholarship pageant

Not to be confused with Most Beautiful Girl in Nigeria.

Miss Nigeria is an annual pageant showcasing positive attributes of Nigerian women, and awarding university scholarships. The winner is expected to portray exemplary qualities whilst serving as a role model to young women in the country. The pageant is currently organised by Daily Times.

The current titleholder is lawyer Doris Ogah, who represented the South-South region.

History

The then-Nigerian Printing and Publishing Company - publishers of national newspaper Daily Times - established the Miss Nigeria franchise which originally started as a photo contest in 1957. Contestants submitted photographs to the publication's Lagos office where finalists were shortlisted; those successful were invited to compete in the live final - which at the time did not include a swimsuit competition - at the Lagos Island Club. UAC employee Grace Oyelude won the maiden edition of Miss Nigeria, and would later use part of her £200 prize money to travel to England where she studied Nursing.

Contrary to popular belief, Julie Coker was not the first Miss Nigeria – the school teacher had actually won Miss Western Nigeria. However, she did compete in the contest the year after Oyelude's reign, but lost to office clerk Helen Anyamaeluna. Former seamstress Nene Etule remains the only non-Nigerian to have won the contest; she was eligible as the Southern Cameroons were under Nigerian constitution in 1959. The following year the contest was briefly renamed 'Miss Independence' to commemorate the country's independence from British rule, and WNTVcontinuity announcer Rosemary Anieze was crowned in a ceremony which included Coker as one of the judges.

After the new millennium, Miss Nigeria became a shadow of its former self, and the contest was placed on hold in 2004. Prior
