Usually, the winner of the Most Beautiful Girl in Nigeria (MBGN) pageant is sent as Nigeria’s representative to the Miss World pageant.
However, the current MBGN, Miss Isabella Ayuk will not be representing Nigeria at the Miss World competition holding in China. She has been replaced with the 1st runner-up, Diamette Charles Granville.Rumours that Isabella was disqualified from participating at the pageant has been debunked by the Vice-President, Silverbird Group, Mr Guy Murray-Bruce.
“Isabella Ayuk is still the Most Beautiful Girl in Nigeria and at no point did we dethrone her. Isabella remains the winner of the MBGN 2012 and accordingly is expected to carry out her duties as queen until next year when another queen is chosen”
Although she will not be vying for the Miss World title, she will be contesting for the Miss Universe crown, while MBGN Second Runner up, Miss Ifeoma Umeokeke will be at the Miss Tourism International holding later in the year in China.
The decision to swap her role with that of the first runners-up was taken by the organsiser and it was taken in the collective interest of the company and the country”, Mr Bruce affirmed.
However, there are also rumours that the Silverbird group had replaced the queen with her 1st runner up for fear of the queen being disqualified at the finals for exceeding the age limit of 26.
