ineteen-year old Iheoma Nnadi moved from complete obscurity to fame when she emerged Most Beautiful Girl in Nigeria 2014. She beat 29 other contestants to emerge winner at this year’s event held in Yenagoa, the Bayelsa State capital. The fairskinned beauty is a model and a Business Management undergraduate of the Cape Town University, South Africa. In this interview, Miss Nnadi tells us more about herself

How does it feel winning the MBGN 2014 crown? It feels amazing. It was a tough journey. It was a lot of hard work and now that I am here, I feel very blessed. I am happy. I have made my friends and family proud and I give praise to God. Who was your greatest competitor while in camp? My greatest competitor was Miss Edo. She’s beautiful, talented and well behaved. She was amazing. That not withstanding, we had to bond. The girls became sisters. You wake up in the morning; you meet the same girls with whom you do practically everything. We argue, we make-up. We had so many great moments. What was going through your mind ZKLOH WKH ¿QDO UHVXOW ZDV EHLQJ announced? I was so scared and was asking in my mind: could it be me? Oh God, could I be the last person to be called? Because at the screening in Abuja, I was number one but I was the last person to be called. So, I wasn’t really sure what would happen. Did you see yourself winning? Of course; because, for any girl buying the form, it means that she is ready to become the Most Beautiful Girl in Nigeria. I always knew I would be a beauty queen.

No. What I actually wanted was to transfer to the University of Johannesburg. But in South Africa, the school session begins in January. So I had all the time.

TERI Speaks Hi Teri, Hi Teri, hope u had a good day. I like reading ur columns in Sunday Vanguard newspapers. Please I want to know if Margarine is different from Butter. Secondly, could u please tell me where I can buy a bag of brown rice. I also want to know where I can get Ofada rice (bag) that is sand and chaff-free. God bless you real good. Chimmy

Good day Chimmy, Simply put, Butter is made from cream, margarine is hydrogenated vegetable oil. Brown rice and Ofada rice are readily available and now come in packs like Uncle Ben’s rice. In Lagos, Park and shop, Ebeano Supermarket as well as Sura shopping mall all sell Ofada Rice. If in Abuja, try Amigos Supermanrket or Grand Square. Hope this helps. Best wishes, Teri M.

A JOURNEY INTO SELF DISCOVERY I sat listening to this young, beautiful and intelligent young woman, who relayed to me her own experience of the trending subliminal prevalent problem: abuse, a phenomenon that come in different proportions and which ZH DOVR EULHĂ \ PHQWLRQHG GXULQJ RXU last publication (if you may recall) as a vice that can be avoided once a lady can position herself in a place of esteem. This challenge has obviously marred her life to a great extent, and as I listened to her, my vivid imagination drew up different pictures of the

scenarios that may have characterized the different times that she had been abused, and what it must have been like keeping this burden to herself over all these years until now. My concern for this problem grew a notch more while I digested all she said and I found myself gazing at the displayed pictures of my daughters on one of my display stands. Oh how worried I became for them! About their friends! And about so many other growing young girls out there, maturing into adulthood and excitedly looking forward to a great future with

great relationships. Then I asked aloud, “why is this menace so prevalent against ladies? What is the cause or contributing factor? What solutions are being proffered to check it? How much grooming and

awareness have we inculcated into our young females to help them imbibe virtues and values that would help avert this from their future, as well as prepare them for adulthood. TO BE CONTINUED...

It was a night of fun, as Ibis Hotel celebrated its 3rd anniversary in grand style.. The anniversary party was well-attended as friends, residents and invited guests danced and rocked the night while the host Peter de Bondt ensured that guests had a good time. The Food & Beverage personnel and sous cuisine Cheff, Lucien Hounsa, provided a rich bouquet of finger food, hors deovre and exotic desserts accompanied with the finest choice of premium La Chasse Cotes du Rohone red wine and red label blend whisky and cocktails. Residents of the hotel and invited guests who were mostly expatriates from the business travel trade and aviation sub-sectors had great fun toasting to Ibis success in an endless clicking of long-stemed glasses.
