Op Your Moniker Keep Deceiving Me, I Think Its Bob Risky!
BTW they still look good at old age.
I believe that bicycle is the price they gat in those days,that papa bicycle those days were as valued as power bikes of today

There's always a first time to anything and a pioneer. Even at old age she is looking good.

The 2019 winner...

Etsanyi Tukura,from Taraba State

K

How they dress then and now...

Gone are d days....

This days Alexreports and his crew have bastardized beauty pagentry...

Our Darling Country has been blessed with very beautiful women from Day one.
Women of 'Timber and Caliber'.
Industrious and Beautiful women.
Beauty With Brains.
God bless all Nigerian women out there.
Shout outs y'all!
Someday soon, we gonna have the first female President of Nigeria.

The Future is Truly Female mehn!

Argue with your tiny 3rd legs

Modify :
Thumbs-up to the that edited the initial title.
This make more sense.

kpekus award.

Gone are d days..........

..........
When men were boys
Women were Girls and
Virginity was sweet!

Gone are those days mehn!

In an unbiased and competitive environment we discover that great minds are born.

Sometimes I wonder how certain peeps on nairaland defend a lie brazenly for a stipend. I wonder how they will feel if bandit kidnaps them.

Will you tell herdsmen and bandit that you are an APC OR PDP member or Buhari is your godfather?

If federation does not work try conferederation if it doesnt work we try something else until we see a fitting system. We can't be living a lie. Enough

1959 winner was actually from Cameroon(Southern Cameroons to be precise).

She is the only non-Nigerian to have won that contest.

You hit me with your breast and you're saying sorry. Sorry for what? Did I complain? Please hit me again�

Why robbing Alex of this na

This was before the vagina people took over.

Now bleaching crew has taken over

Ok

They look super beautiful!

Your exposure determine your success
Imagine so many beautiful ladies in the village or conservative North , who don't know this or have opportunity for this and yet they deserve to WIN

There’s Miss Nigeria and there’s also Most Beautiful Girl in Nigeria (MBGN).

I think the latter is where Bianca Ojukwu falls in

Issorite ooooo

Live and let die!

When I look at some of my mother's throwback pictures I shake my head...what a beauty the world never see

Oh Yes.
The Police women in Nigeria are also representing.
Nigeria is proud of us and we are proud of Nigeria too.
