CURRENT MBGN ISABELLA AGBOR AYUK SET TO LAUNCH FASHION BRAND

ISABELLA AGBOR AYUK

Our delectable current Most Beautiful Girl in Nigeria 2012 and our representative at the last miss Universe pageant 2012, Isabella Ayuk, is already getting set for life after her reign. Come tomorrow Wednesday, February 27, 2013 in Abuja, the FCT from 3PM, the gorgeous beauty queen would be launching her own fashion brand/label called Bellasabel. From the coinage of the name, it's a combination of 'Belle' which reflects a beautiful girl/woman or gorgeous lady (a beautiful girl/woman at a particular event/occasion or in a particular gathering) and a part of her first name Isabella without the first letter and the last 2 letters.  

Bellasabel would have in stock some of the best collections of Classic pageant, dinner party, wedding and Red-carpet dresses, not only that, we hear they will also stock shoes & jewellery. The idea is to have an all occasion fashion brand. While some have speculated that the apparels are made for her in the US, some have suggested that they are from Turkey instead.  

The venue of the launch is nos 10, Durban street, off Ademola Adetokunbo, Wuse II, Abuja, the FCT. 

Congratulations dear queen. 

AND THE NEW MISS UNIVERSE 2012 IS....MISS USA

The new winner is only 20 years old and she represented God's own country, the USA. This would be the first time since 1997, that someone from the US is crowned Miss Universe. The new queen is from Cranston, Rhode Island, USA & a Boston University Sophomore. The 3rd from a family of 5. Both parents are professional musicians, each of her family members are into music and she plays the Cello pretty well. Her name is Olivia Culpo and she's the 61st ever Miss Universe, taking over from the Angolan beauty bombshell, Miss Leila Lopes, Miss Universe 2011. Olivia hopes to find a career in either film or television in future. 

Miss Phillipines,  Janine Tugonon, 23, was the 1st runner-up. She grew up going to the farm with her mom & going to the market with her grandma, while Miss Venezuela, Irene Esser Quintero,21 who was raised in a cocoa plantation, was the 2nd runner-up. Irene's family owns a chocolate factory.

It was a keenly contested competition, with 89 very beautiful angels from around the world competing for the highly coveted crown. Some of the Judges were Mr.Kardashian- Scott Disick, top music star Cee Lo Green, top photographer Nigel Barker, Brad Goreski, Claudia Jordan, US Olympic beach volley ball gold medallist Kerry Walsh Jennings, Iron Chef Star Masaharu Morimoto.

Olivia Culpo, the new Miss Universe, will receive an undisclosed salary, a limitless supply of beauty products , a luxury apartment in New York, USA & an unbelievable wardrobe that would make many envious.

 Last night in Las Vegas, better known to the world as sin city, the preliminary stage of the Miss Universe pageant held. The venue was the Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino, Las Vegas. The preliminary stage helps to shortlist the last 16 that goes on to the semi-finals, which would be announced on Wednesday, December 19, 2012. The announcement of the 16 would be together with the results of the online voting presently going and that would end on the night of Tuesday, December 18, 2012. 

Nigeria's own, MBGN 2012, Miss Isabella Agbor Ojong Ayuk, 26 from Cross River State in Nigeria, is flying the nations flag at this year's competition, she was one of the 89 beautiful ones vying for the coveted crown. And she was looking very stunning last night. One of the major highlights of the preliminary stage that took place last night, was the fall of Miss Guyana, Ruqayyah Boyer, which was because of the combination of the very slippery floor, her sky-high shoes and her floor-length apparel. She gingerly got up to continue her graceful walk.

We are focusing our attention on the AFRICAN contestants and some of the others with black skin. The Canadian queen at the pageant has an African name, Adwoa Yamoah, so its either she naturalized Canadian or was born in Canada to African parents. There are 16 contestants in all, who are proudly African or Blacks, from the 89 contesting from around the world. Can Africa, retain the crown? We should know by the night of Wednesday, December 19, 2012. Miss Leila Lopes of Angola (proudly African) is the reigning queen. Or would it be Nigeria's own Isabella Agbor Ojong Ayuk, 26, doing us proud again just like Agbani Darego did a few years ago? Impossible is nothing.

Check out 16 OF THE 89 Contestants- Miss Angola, Marcelina Vahekeni, Miss Bahamas, Celeste Marshall, Miss Botswana, Sheillah Molelekwa, Miss British Virgin Island, Abigail Hyndman, Miss Canada, Adwoa Yamoah, Miss Curacao, Monifa Joanne Marie Jensen, Miss Ethiopia, Helen Getachew, Miss Gabon, Channa Divouvi, Miss Ghana, Gifty Ofori, 24, Miss Guyana, Ruqayyah Boyer, Miss Haiti, Christela Jacques, Miss Namibia, Tsakana Nkandih, , Miss Nigeria (MBGN) Isabella Ayuk 26, Miss St. Lucia, Tara Edwards, Miss Tanzania, Winfrida Dominic & Miss Trinidad & Tobago, Avionne Mark.

FINALLY ISABELLA AGBOR AYUK MBGN 2012 ANSWERS ALL NAYSAYERS

We came just came across Miss Isabella Agbor Ayuk's post on her FB page a few minutes ago. We had to share the post because, this would be the first time she would either directly or indirectly address the issue of age falsification she had been accused of. 

There had been rumors all over town in the aftermath of her being crowned the MBGN Queen for 2012 that she was much older than the age she claims, some had said she was not a day less than 31. While contesting at the pageant held in Benin, Edo State she had declared she was 25 years old and a few weeks after clocked 26. But some faceless people, who couldn't come out openly or even show evidence of falsification of age, went to town to accuse her of reducing her age. 

The rumor seemingly gained more ground, when we all found out the reigning queen was not going to be representing Nigeria, at the very prestigious Miss World Competition later on in the year- 2012. The pageant organizers were very quick in coming out to clear the air, that the queen was very eligible and that the age she had declared was correct. That she was not going to represent Nigeria at the Miss World Competition, was totally the organizers decision, they reserve the right to send whomsoever they wanted to the pageant, also the queen had insisted she wanted to serve her country immediately after graduating from the University. As we speak, she's at one of the NYSC Camps, and she's still the Most Beautiful Girl in Nigeria 2012 and she would be representing Nigeria at the next Miss Universe 2012 contest, instead of the Miss World. 

Here is her post on Facebook posted a few hours ago indirectly saying something about the whole hullabaloo- ''Scandal is necessary for stardom. Envious people always exist especially when they are afraid of your rising. As giant we will dwarf them. In God I will always Trust. If God says YES, no human can say NO, who GOD has blessed, is indeed Blessed''.

  Though we are glad she has cleared the air about the whole stress, we are still very curious to find out something.

An Isabella Ayuk, contested at the 2004 Miss Nigeria Pageant that was won by Miss Ene Maya Lawani, that Isabella was one of the few gorgeous ladies that came from the South-south to try their luck, about 45 gorgeous girls had gone to Asaba, in Delta State for the semi-finals of that year’s competition, at the end of the day only 20 made it to the finals, the youngest of the finalist then later went on to emerge the queen in 2004, that was Ene Lawani. One of the top 3 finalists at that competition was Ufuoma Ejenobor, now a very well known Nollywood actress.

We did our best to at least get to the bottom of all uproar. We were finally able to speak with 2 of those who were in Asaba in 2004, one of those we chatted with was that Isabella’s room mate and a fellow contestant and the other was an official at the 2004 pageant, they both swore that Isabella was one of the semi-finalist at the 2004 pageant, that was 8 years ago. When we interviewed our current queen, who incidentally has the same names as the lady in 2004, she claimed not to have done the 2004 pageant. The curious thing is this even if the Isabella then is the same as the Isabella now, both having the same names, both would still have been eligible for the 2012 MBGN by virtue of the age declared now. So who was the Isabella in 2004?
