Unoaku Anyadike is MBGN World 2015 – All the Scoop on the New Queen
For the first time in several years, most BellaNaijarians seem to agree on winner of the Most Beautiful Girl in Nigeria (Yes, it’s that serious)
Unoaku Anyadike represented Anambra State at this year’s pageant and after was chosen as the overall winner of the pageant – therefore she is the MBGN 2015. She will represent Nigeria at the Miss World 2015 pageant which will take place on the 19th of December 2015 at the Crown of Beauty Theatre in Sanya, China.
So, who is Unoaku?
Here is the scoop on the pageant queen.
- She’s 21. Unoaku celebrated her birthday on the 16th of September
- She is a student of psychology at the University of Ibadan
- She has other jobs – Unoaku has been a personal assistant to Nollywood star Enyinna Nwigwe
- She participated in MBGN 2014 (as Miss Lagos) but had to drop out due to exams at school
- She is from Anambra State (her dad is Igbo and mum is Yoruba). Contestants rarely get to represent their home states but in this case, she actually did
- Her answer during the Q&A sealed the deal – we hear that her articulate answer to the question on Climate Change and her reference to the erosion issues in Anambra helped her win points with the judges.
- Her role models are Ellen Johnson Sirleaf and Millen Magese
She comes from a close knit family – “I’m the last girl out of 5 beautiful girls in my family. We are Christians and from Ekwulobia, Aguata local government in Anambra state. We live in Ile-Ife, Osun state. My father is a Professor in Literature-in-English at Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU) and my mother is the founder and proprietor of Sunshine Nursery and primary school Ile-Ife, Osun state. My family is the best family in the world and they come first, I wouldn’t trade that for anything.”- She is a Christian – She says “I love to meditate on the word of God” and I am presently reading “How to be lead by the spirit of God” by Kenneth Hagin
- She is a blogger – Anyadike has a blog which is focused on positivity and spirituality
- She’s been “spotted” on BellaNaija – See her at taking a selfie with Genevieve Nnaji at her launch
- Her Favourite Meal is Amala and Ewedu with goat meat and a cold bottle of water
- She has a crush on Empire star Jussie Smollett and admires Miss World 2001 Agbani Darego
If She were President, she would…The first thing I’ll do is to try to eradicate poverty, promote education especially the girl child education and make Nigeria one of the developed countries in the world

October 26, 2015 at 3:12 pm
the name of the school was actually duduyemi? Does duduyemi mean anything besides what I think it means? Am I missing something here? If so, educate me, I am honestly curious. if it doesn’t then “ell oh ell” you went to a school called duduyemi! LMAOOO. Ooooh she is gorgeous!
Manny
October 26, 2015 at 3:44 pm
Hmmm @whocares Duduyemi school is a quite expensive and up to standard school. If she went to Duduyemi, she is not likely to be an airhead.

Duduyemi is a name.ie Sir Henry Alex Duduyemi…
She really is 21…When I left Ife in 2008, She was very young..

There were a lot of ugly sorry not-fine girls at the pageant, but she stood out and she answered her question well…shes also very tall, so I think for once, this was a right pick compared to the other MBGNs
Isaid!!

Yes, she’s 21. What’s so hard to believe there? Or does she look 30 to you?
I really don’t understand some of you and your unnecessary cynicism.

@ATLs finest you only asked a question indeed. One laced with so much sarcasm. Patiently waiting for the negative comments, sure to tickle your fancy.
@excuseyou don’t waste your energy, the comments will likely come, they’ve never made any difference before, they won’t make any now. All na social media.

So i could care less about this article but i read a similar article with an almost identical title on Kemi Filanis Blog. i think its unethical to take from her blog beef up the story and put it up as yours. im not saying its illegal. its UNETHICAL! a form or bullying.
i go on her blog quite often and im always impressed with her creative twists on stories. so instead of just blogging that someone won, she adds a creative twist that allows her readers to see her input just like she did with her ‘all you need to know about MBGN’ post.
its unfair to take her idea and put it up as your. BULLYING.
if shes taking the time to be creative.. you should too. come up with your own twist to the topic. its LAZY to take hers.
my two cents.
ps.. never met Kemi Filani… i dont know her. just a blog visitor.

BellaNaija prides itself with being original and when we respectfully use content from any site, we certainly follow fair use guidelines and reference.
It is a common practice to feature “fun facts” about a new celeb especially people who win beauty pageants, reality shows, awards or are suddenly plunged into the spotlight.
The majority of this information was submitted by the organizers of the event – Silverbird (this info is submitted to press and online media specifically for this purpose – http://www.silverbirdmbgn.com/contestant/2015/anyadike-unoaku) plus we searched her instagram page and twitter page for more info.
As a matter of fact, majority of Nigerian entertainment sites featured similar articles on Unoaku, some of which were published before the article you referenced. See links below and enjoy your day 🙂

Breathe of fresh air,at least something fresh and genuine after Agbani Darego,not all the age lying desperate women,who think they wont achieve anything good in life than to sleep with organisers and politicians for the crown,yet they cant even represent themselves not to talk of the idea of the pegeant.making the organizers tell lies and expect us to believe like Nigerians are fools.

This girl is very beautiful, but I’d have loved if she was Miss Nigeria (an ambassador for Nigeria, cause she has the girl next door kinda look) not MBGN that goes to miss world. The miss world camp is starting next month and so far, this girl is not on same level with the other contestants. It’s not about height, there has been a 5’3 miss world, and it’s not about intelligence either, Priyanka Chopra who won Miss world 2000 said Mother Theresa was the greatest living woman(mother Theresa died years before that pageant). This girl needs a lot of work, which unfortunately can’t be done in less than a month, she can’t even walk properly on MBGN’s small stage, talk of Miss world’s mega and sometimes slippery stage. The worst is her first runner up, that one should just prepare her hands to clap for other contestants at miss universe, because that is what she’ll do there. I’m disappointed that Silverbird after all these years don’t know that these international pageants choose winners with slim faces, just google all the past miss world and miss universe winners and you’ll see their almost identical face shapes. I don’t mean to burst bubbles or even ridicule these beautiful ladies, they are beautiful by our local standards but as an avid follower of International pageants for years now, I know we’re not winning any crown this year again. I hope silverbird appoints a new person to handle their pageant, because whoever is handling it presently, is doing a terrible job.

I love this girl already. Height, skin colour, poise. Lawdamercy her stats!!!!! *insert lovestruck smiley*
plus she seems like she’s from a really down to earth home. Reminds me of another Ezinne Akudo. I feel incredibly proud of Mbgn for choosing this one; I predict great things for her.
Queen Unoaku, if you’re reading this one, God bless you and may your reign be purposeful and record breaking.

@Ade, apparently, you lack comprehension and you’re probably one of those who do not like to read, so I will summarize what I said above for your likes. I made it very clear in my comment that the girl is actually beautiful, but international pageants have very narrow scope on beauty, which unfortunately she doesn’t fit into. Google these women Gisele Laronde, Lisa Hanna, Jennifer Hosten, Gina Swainson. If they aren’t extremely lightskinned or mixed, then they could pass for white in a black and white picture. Google Agbani and Leila Lopes black and whites pictures. Then come back and tell me which of those girls representing us internationally fit into that category.

I’m so happy that the organisers of this ever prestigious MBGN pageant have heard the cry and Lamentations of lovers of the show.
They were so used to picking fair skinned girls meanwhile at the miss world pageant, they look out for dark skinned and pretty girls reping Africa. they really opened dia eyes dis tym. I wish Unoaku d very best at the miss world pageant. love u BN
sylvia are you looking for a job?
October 28, 2015 at 5:26 pm
@sylvia check the ratio on your screen, plus my dear the only point you are making is that the queen doesn’t have a narrow face,since it’s not about height or brains, for your point to be valid then all the queens,not just the few you listed have to fit under your criteria, if however that’s the case then unoaku anyadike will be the exception to your general rule, and if not pls STFU.where can you walk well?
