UGPulse.com asked the contestants 3 questions...
With the state of the global economy today, what opportunities are out there for African nations and how do you think they should grab and take advantage of those opportunities?
It is an opportunity for African nations to show case their natural endowment in the area of agriculture, mineral resources and also in the area of culture because Africa as a continent is rich in culture. For instance Nigeria is the third largest oil producing country in Africa and with the current increase in the price of fuel due to the unrest in the middle east, invariably OPEC quota of African nations such as Nigeria will be increased because oil is the main stay of Nigeria's economy. The total GPD from oil is about 40%. In order words if demand is increased, it would benefit the Nigerian economy so also it is an opportunity for investors to visit Nigeria and experience the Nigerian culture.
What is the African Spirit... How do you live it?... How do you share it?
The African spirit is who I am and who I represent; I portray Africa in everything I do regardless of my environment and my social status. I live the African spirit through my manners, the food I eat , my composure in public. I share the African spirit by talking about Africa and my home in Nigeria, sharing with my friends, my values and attitudes, also educating them about life in Africa. It is surprising that most people think that Africa is a country rather than a continent; I use such opportunities to educate them about my home and the African way of life.
Are you beautiful? Can you share your beauty secret to your fellow African sisters?
Yes I am beautiful in all ramification. I tolerate people. I respect people. I take people for who they are. I am a selfless individual. I am open minded and ready to assist people within my power. I am cheerful and a team player. I am charming and well mannered. I am proud of my heritage and portray that in everything I do. I don’t try to be something that I am not.
Beauty has nothing to do with the appearance but has everything to do with a person’s personality. Your beauty lies in your personality.
