25-year-old Isabella Agbor
Ayuk is a graduate of Business Administration from the University of
Calabar. With a huge experience on the pageant scene, the new Most
Beautiful Girl in Nigeria says she’s ready to face any controversy that
comes with the crown…
Tell us about your background
I come from a large peaceful family, we
are 25 children and I have three lovely mothers. I’m the 20th child of
the family. My childhood memories were very exciting because I grew up
with 24 other people and there was never a dull moment in the house.
When you were announced as the winner, how did you feel?
I just couldn’t believe it, because I
had been here three times and I said to myself; ‘Is this for real? Was
that Cross Rivers they just mentioned?’ I started crying because I had
been here in 2009, 2010 and in 2012, so it was hard for me to believe
it.
How do you feel meeting with the press first time after your crowning?
I felt so great. I felt like a super star in that moment.
The question that won you the crown was that of your pet project on typhoid. Do you intend to continue with it?
Yes, as a matter of fact, it was the
project that brought me to MBGN again. I needed a platform that could
help me realize a dream and to spread the news across Nigeria that
typhoid is a dreaded disease that we shouldn’t take with levity. In 2006
my sister was sick and we didn’t find out on time that she had typhoid.
By the time we did, it was too late, and she died. So, I intend to
continue, even after MBGN.
