MBGN 2012 Winner Isabella Ayuk Dethroned! Beauty Queen “Lied About Her Age” | Runner-Up Damiete Charles-Granville Takes Over
Posted on Tuesday, June 19th, 2012 at 5:00 PMBy Damilare Aiki
Isabelle Ayuk & Damiete Charles-Granville
It has been confirmed that the 2012 MBGN winner Isabella Ayuk will not be representing Nigeria at the Miss World 2012 competition because of a dispute over her declared age.
After her big win at the 25th anniversary edition of the prestigious Most Beautiful Girl in Nigeria pageant, the “serial beauty queen” had been accused of falsifying her age by many beauty pageant enthusiasts. According to reports, investigations by the Most Beautiful Girl in Nigeria organizers and the Miss World organization, revealed that she was indeed older than her declared age.
Isabella has been replaced by MBGN Universe 2012, Damiete Charles-Granville. According to Silverbird Group’s Vice President Guy Murray Bruce, Isabella will not participate in the Miss World 2012 competition due to “personal reasons”. But never mind, BN promises to update you with all the info as the story unfolds.
Still on the MBGN news, Damiete who will now be officially representing Nigeria at the 2012 Miss World Competition billed to take place in Mongolia has released some promo shots for her Miss World Profile.

Hmmm… It’s very obvious. Best of luck, Damiete Charles-Granville!
A Very Big Lesson 2doz oda late 20s gals dat thinks de look dat young foreva. Abegyyyy we all can see 4ours eyes n I bet Silverbird must av seen de stand no chance b4 now cos I don’t buy ds gist of finding out d real age now oooh plssssssssssss!
Well dat means d Ibo gal “frm Abuja…lol” will now go 4 Miss Universe while ds very black beauty gal will rep. us in Miss World which I think is fair enof….*jus sayin*
hmmmm, waiting yo unfold….
waiting to unfold.
Unbelievable…….Linda Ikeji’s blog reports otherwise though
Exactly!
LMBO! Did they really need a priest to tell them she’s older than her declared age? She looked older right from the start. Anyway, congratulations to Damiete, do us proud
my tots exactly….ryt from the beginning it was obvious
wow………..
Oh wow!!!!! did she think they wouldn’t find out?! I’m disappointed
Thank you bellanaija.com for saying the real story while the others are there covering the obvious and printing lies…
hehehe. . .what nigerian girls do 4 fame/money.sic
hahahahahhahahahahahahhahahahaa!OVOKO!!!!Oh my good God!
I knew there was something about her the day she was crowned. Thank God truth has prevailed but I had expected the organisers of MBGN to do their homework long ago
After she won, she put on her bb update,’it pays to be determined, all hail queen isabella’(cus she had competed 3x before). I guess it wasn’t fate afterall.–today’s lesson- never be a die hard. (Hope I don’t sound bitchy, just felt other competitors were more qualified)
changing Nigeria starts with Nigerians — lying over a small matter like this is just ridiculous!!! If na politician now, we no go hear word. She’s certainly not the only one who would go thru any extent to win?! Na wa!!
Remember Ama Peterside? She did the same thing and paid dearly for it. She has since disappeared from the spotlight, and the same will happen to Isabella. Remeber, there is no secret under the sun.
we may not even get to the actual stage phase. No chance
didn’t they know isabella was older from the start,its writtten all over her face bt they were tryna deceive us until now that they realized dt she wasn’t a good choice after all.but i heard she isabella would still go on to represent naija @the miss universe pageant.
HMMM,naija sha. d more yu luk de less yu see,but it was obvious na,probably miss world organisers detected it so they had no other option. Corruption every where, na wah ooh. Congrats sis,imiete. long live kalabari kingdom. Anoda niger delta miss world,,,
Nigerians and their tribalism/ethnocentrism sha…”another Nigerian Miss World” would have been suitable but no, you had to hail Kalabari kingdom and the Niger Delta first. Mscheeww!
Which one dey pepper you? Nigeria has so many ethinic groups so it’s only right if one acknowledges theirs. Our diversity can never be ignored no matter how you and others like you try.
Phensic never finish for market, go and cure yourself. Being proud of your tribe/ethnicity doesn’t make you a tribalist/ethnocentrist. Igbo kwenu!
BTW, I still luv u Sansarai.
@ sansarai abi sand sand; why yu wan take yur reggae spoil my r “n b. Abi is it yur hand i am using to do d typing,next time just close yur eyes when yu see my comment. Hiaaa,de last time i checked na democracy we dey.so rep yur tribe dat is if yu have one. Rubbish.
No hope!
Pls wot’s her real age?
Lmao, naija, SMH…..
the new girl is pretty.I prefer her to be honest and i think with proper grooming she’ll be good for the Miss World competition… (she’s gonna need a new seamstress and hairdresser though)
OK, BN. Linda Ikeji just tweeted that Guy Murray Bruce told her personally that Isabelle HAS NOT been dethroned. Oya na who dey talk true? lol
I knew right from day one,it was so obvios.goodluck darling!
Hmm,well…thanks BN,so what’s her real age and what age did she say she’s got??
Well it was obvious!!!
se na today…all of dem in dat pageant lie about their age…she’s not d 1st.
the story on the other web says that she was dating the deputy governor and that was why she won……………….coruption has already prevailed in nigeria…….
huh.. which deputy governor, Deputy governor of lagos is a woman!!
Did you see Lagos anywhere?
Its quite a pity,I mean she(isabella) cheatd n she was just busy carryin herself about instead of prayin God shuld 4give her.Dis is a lesson to others,i wish Damiete all d best.
Clearly the new queen is prettier than the disqualified one. Loads of exotic features. http://www.abadawoode.blogspot.com
So we gat pageant age, just like we have football age…*hiss*
Wonders shall neva cease
The runner up looks more beautiful so good luck to her but to be honest real beauties no longer enter this competitions.
Good for the new kid, but seriously someone needs to get her a proper photographer. These promo shots are just horrible.
I knew dis was going τ̅☺ haPpen!…
pls can u kindly tell us the biography of the new queen
whew! she was beginning to feel young o……….knew it tho!
busarni; exactly. I’m sure the pressure came from the Miss World organisers. The organisers of MBGN were ready to close their eyes. After all, they were settled for her to win.
indeed there’s nothing hidden under the sun….what will be will be..for Isabelle its shameful,for Damiete wish you well.
Hmmm….dis s serz,naija is already messed up though.dis shouldn’t be news…There’re more issues than dis we need 2 tackle in dis country. Goodluck 2 d gurl representing naija in d Miss world beauty peagant!
This is absolutely appalling!!! Its even worse knowing for a fact that the pageant organisers obviously knew ahead but of course, naija style, another ‘corruption feather to our hat’. I really hope that they sanction the entire pageant organisation. (wait who I’m I kidding really!). its such a shame really. I’ve just chatted with one of my friend’s who knows ‘the queen’ 1 on 1, madam is knocking 30! Shame on the Silverbird pageant organisers.
ahhahahah..i knew the chic was at least 33yrs old
Ahan, she neva reach 33 o, she go be 32yrs and 5months in july…rofLmao…
Lol how your own come take betta?
Apparently the stories going round that Isabella has been dethroned is NOT true- in fact Silverbird have confirmed that Isabella will be representing Nigeria at Miss Universe instead.
Which makes it even more suspect…it is like coming first in Olympics and getting a silver medal instead of a gold medal and the public being told it happened for “personal reasons” sounds BS.
So all her getting on her (Isablla) knees to suck em dry amounted to nothing. This is not fair now – ah ah. All the BJ amounted to nothing. Ok pay me to go to the hospital cos my jaw hurt’
Eyaa,sowie Isa,no be ur fault,u want 2 answer’QUEEN’at ol cost. . . . Xo u wnt 2ru 9jaway.com. .sowie,once a queen,alwaz a queen. . . Damieta darling,CONGRATZ! !
the new queen is beautiful, she shoould have been picked in the first place.
Im so happy it turned out dis way…..infact im dancing rite now. Silverbird knew her age b4 crowning her so they should not pretend to us…its just a shame on dem, they’ve lost it patapata. Just take a look at the other girl, she’s far far prettier dan d yeye Isabella.
At 30 yrs old,ur goal is to cheat and win MBGN?? Hmmmm our mentality shaaaaa
Damiete looks prettier to me … kinda like ini edo and Royce Reed mixed together… I agree that better pictures and a bit of grooming and this damiete can win this thing like it’s nobody’s business…
i know they even have similar smiles…with Royce that is
I hear say na my age she be 30, but I young pass am for face shaa
I know the isabelle girl. She’s from my hometown and we went to d same uni. Not to sound like a leech, we are even distance relatives. She isn’t less than 30. And hs peagent history. Even if she fooled d whole world, she won’t hv bn able to fool us all who know her roots. I ws utterly disappointed wen she won. Cos a peagent is too small to mke a reasonable person alter her age in d eyes of d world, for life. Well, I guess fate prevailed.
eh ya Isabella sorry hein!!!… I no want yab u but hein babi big eye no good o! It is good to say yuar age from the start o!!! u neva know when e go disgrace you! If u be footballer, cardiac arrest fit catch u on the field, if u be beauty queen, oyinbo fit disgrace u before u even get out of naija, they go count yuar wrinkles for u… it is well shah, u are still a very beautiful 30 something years old!
Lol…. Oyinbo go count the wrinkle for ya face… cardiac arrest fit do you…. lol!
Chic don embarass herself
Both dami and issabela Αre
not fit Τ̅☺ represent miss world, i watched dat pageant live α̲̅πϑ i saw more prettier girlz, †he whole mbgn thing is jst a cheat………miss abuja, miss adamawa or miss kaduna would av done better @ miss world
You are sooo right. I never expected either of them to get the position they got. Miss Abuja was more deserving in my opinion.
it’s obvious there’s more to this dan all we’ve been saying,they all cooked this,just they felt it might boomerange later so they decided to let d cat out of d bag.
wel everythng in life has a reason bt s nt d end we re bound to do mistake.nbdy s perfect
Pls lets forgeet bout isabella nd talk about Miss Nigeria!!……….Wer dose judges blind in d first place to av made isabella d winner….Damiete is gorgeous!!!!
errmmmm………….ok
so SB didnt do their “digging” till after they crowned her MBGN……….SMH
i like the new queen sha
http://lucianochinwe.blogspot.com/
Damiete looks better to me tho.
by d way, if u take a better look at isabella, thers NO WAY shez 25mhen.
Age aside…she should never have won. You can’t even compare her to Agbani Darego…the other people that need to be disqualified are Silverbird Entertainment from ever organizing an event. The pictures they released of the contestants will never leave my mind (and for bad reasons).
ordinary photo session, they cannot do, when thwy are loads of talented photographers out there, shame on Slvrbird, shame on Isabella, and she was making noise that she was a deserving champion
MBGN team should have avoided this error. Now we are seeing Isahella’s ugly pix to promote the new girl. mtchewww. for all i care, they are all ngbeke!
lol!and to think that the crown was mistakely put on damiete’s head the night they were to crown the winner!clearly, it wasnt a mistake afterall because she is the beautiful queen!Please represent us well and make us proud oh!
lol!and to think that the crown was mistakely put on damiete’s head the night they were to crown the winner!clearly, it wasnt a mistake afterall because she is the beautiful queen!Please represent us well and make us proud oh!
lol. God is alive!!!!
Lie is still a sin o. I was totally disappointed when she won cos she looked like she has already put to bed. I still remember the mocking update she put up on twitter about people not liking you and stuff. Shame on you madam queen wanna be by lie lie.
What about the Cartier wristwatch #blank stare# *running away*
In my eyes, both girls are not even fit for the crown.
I really do not think d@ the reason 4 her dethronement is based on age factor. Whatever it is,I guess is based known to the my people @ silverbird. Please just stop the cheap blackmail. To those of you saying dat both girls aint qualified n are looking @ beauty perspective,hear me,its not all abt beauty but intellect. Investigate well.
Abegi, na beauty go carry dem reach d stage wey den go ask dem questions…I stopped believing in d MBGN stuff a long time ago, but d ones of 2011 and 2012 were so d all-time low..Jeez!
I knew Damiete was rubbed at that event. Thank God for this now. Go Damiete go!
Rubbed???!! For wiaah?? Runs away on a magic broom***
well, all things work together for good, damitte u were indeed my choice that day, she is young, intelligent and pretty for the crown( your prayer indeed worked for you), just go out there and be bold, confident with yourself, don’t let others intimate you and make us proud, best wishes and for others covering up saying an impostor wrote that not bruce, just tell me what personal reasons would make isabella not to be available for her pageant, anyway try and cover up the lies, we know everyyyyyyyy, wat a scandal on their 25th anniversary but truth be told, the babe looked so matured and over experienced..
Hmmmm. The chicken will always come home to roost. It is the fraud of the whole pageant that has caught up with both the Ayuk girl and Silverbird. Silverbird knew that the Ayuk girl is “agadi nwa nyi”. Why would they say her withdrawal is for “personal reasons” instead of telling the fruit of their fraud. Fraudulent, government, legislature, judiciary, NGOs, businesses, citizens, students etc. When are we going to change?
d organisers screenin b4 d show was’t spot-on… I wonda wat else could av happen pre-event,just say…
What was Guy Murray Bruce thinking….?Na eye dem been dey take know old corn.
funny
OMG!!! this is crazy
1stly-A big congrats 2 dammy!!! I know u’l make us proud!!
2ndly-is it dat silverbird’s so blinded wif d lust 4 money dat makes not find out abt one’s real age b4 mounting on d stage? Dis’s crap!! Dey should me sued!! Cuz if dey knew wat dey were doing,all details must b known b4 d final contestants are finally chosen!!
It means a mad woman can jst go ahead and purchase d mbgn form since dey’r not interested in one’s real biography!!
3rdly-sori abt d humiliation isabella
4thly-Silverbird should b sued!!! Crap!!
Aha! Damiete is not only from Rivers (Kalabari) but actualy from d same town (Abonnema) with Agbani Darego! I wish d best & hope she re-enact d Goodluck Jonathan story from deputy governor to d very top position of our great nation!
Aha
is it a crime 4 sum1 to be 30 sumtin? y will isabella bring such disgrace 2 her self?
Isabella SHAME on u gurl
Siverbird SHAME on u aswell we all knew wat hapnd Edo state Deputy Gov. rooted 4her n SB Group obliged jus 2make their cash dat nite now d tru winners have emerged.
This is a shame to SilverBird jor! They should have done their investigation well. do they ask for birth certification and all, if yes, then i wont blame them but how did they now find out the truth? This whole story looks messy!
well, i wish the new girl, LUCK!!!!!!
This is an indictment. On Silverbird’s credibilty in being d ones organizing d nation’s most prestigious beauty pagent. From all I’ve read here it means their judgement cannot be trusted again! It seems like they knew about her age but deadened it for some sinister reason and now Miss World obviously knew she wz too old 4 their contest and SB had no option but remove her. Atleast truth prevailed over wrong eventually. That’s d most important thing! So by this I can’t believe in Silver Bird again!
congrats dammy, but pls u ppple should stop wishing her goodluck for obviouse reasons(jstsaying) *runningaway*
I was disappointed wen that isabella girl was crowned the queen, cos she looked too big(with fat thighs et al)and not stunning enough, 2ndly her composure weneva she spoke 2 d press gave her away as “mama mmadu” plus she didn’t look surprised(meaning that she already knew she would win) wen she was crowned, cud it be that she warmed somebody’s bed?
Hian! oh yeah!!! dis one na real LAGOS NAWA! Ngwa! leggo! cant wait 4 d juicy updates, Bella 9ja, no dull me o.
I’m so sure that a lot of these critics here can’t face an audience yet they will hide behind their fones n sharp their mouths like razor!!!! U call dem mgbeke, but where were u or d fine girls u knw wen they were selling the forms? Or were they screened out bcos they Couldn’t meet the standards? Lansense!!!!
In Nigeria we forge everything, to get a job u must be 26 or less, to play football u must be 17 to be qualified, to showcase ur beauty for d world 2 see and see d natural endowment u must be 20. Why won’t people forge their age just 2 meet?
A very big lesson to other desperate contestants yet 2 emerge, what will be will be no matter how u try 2 cut corners u must be found out. Be real and God shall see u through.
Eh yah! That’s such a shame for her. OH well, at least it kinda gives someone else the opportunity!

too bad, just felt for here.wish her quick recovery.
http://blog4all-com.blospot.com
hmmmm na waooo it looks amazing wen girls lie about their age to obtain somthing,is just unfortunate dat this one didnt succeed with it.SO BE TRUTHFUF GIRLS IF NOT U WILL FACE THE CONCEQUENCES..wat a shame now she has to return her car,money nd that xpensive CARTIER WATCH they gave her.awwwwwwwww ..sory girl,try in ur next world u might win……..
Her name is Agbor for christ sake wats wit dis isabella name? Smh………25 indeed
We can’t naija is messed up because she lied about her age, a lot of models all over the world probably lie about thir age and don’t get caught, I don’t think she is the first to lie about it or to geet caught! I’m not saying what she did was right, it was really wrong and she deserved the disqualification. PS: good luck to you the new MBGN… but let’s stop cursing Nigeria every single time something happens, your tongue and the words that come out of your mouth really matter
http://thetruthii.wordpress.com/2012/07/12/africa-how-do-we-really-see-africa/
Why wnt u guys just mind ur biz,is she d first to lie about her age,re u guys her parent?pls free her i knw it’s just envy n nothing more. I hail u my Queen,no one can take ur crown from u. Believe in urself.
miss Damiete looks very young tho…… gudluck to her…
It wasnt issabella’s fault, silverbird shld have done their research properly, to me they shouldn’t have dethroned her bcos they ve already crown her, it is silverbird that suppose 2 face d penalty for not doing their job well and for all of u that u’re saying rubbish abt issabella, keep ur mouth shut, if u were in her shoe u will do more than dat, u fit get 5 pikin self make u tel dem say u neva marry. The lady was determined, thats all.
THANK U OOO. TELL THEM
we all tell lies one way or the other…. so it is a hypocritical act to judge issabell. iam not encouraging lies though but my advice is that we judge ourselves first before judging others. to me, issabella is even prettier than Dami….. just my view
I’ve just seen both Miss Universe and Miss World, and I don’t want to be horrible but Isabella looked out of place at MU – her figure wasn’t toned enough and she looked too old. Bear in mind that MU judges tend to select contestants with a supermodel persona as the winner, and Isabella doesn’t not meet this criteria. She shouldn’t have been allowed to compete at MBGN, never mind MU, and I don’t understand why Silverbird are protecting her, because it’s clear she’s lying about her age. Damiete, on the other hand, is better suited to compete at international level, and I’m sure that if the organisers had groomed her properly, she would have done even better.
