The 24th Edition of Nigeria's prestigious beauty pageant, Most Beautiful Girl in Nigeria (MBGN), instigated a varied reaction amongst the public viewers. For those who are not familiar, MBGN is an annual beauty pageant, where beautiful girls are chosen, represented by all 36 states in Nigeria. The winner will have the opportunity to represent Nigeria at the renowned Miss World competition.
Where most believed Miss Taraba, who was crowned the winner, was not deserving of the coveted first position, the bottom line remains she received majority of the votes, from both the public and the judges, unless it was rigged.
As part of the competition, each contestant was expected to showcase ethnic wears from the state they represented. It was a colourful parade of culture and tradition, as the beauty queens rocked their tribal outfits.
