Former Miss World and Nigerian Beauty Queen, Agbani Darego has shared the news of launching her Online Store on 25th of March, 2018. Yes, just a few days away!
The winner of the Miss World 2001 crown shared the news via her official Instagram handle @agbanidarego and the posts have received lots of comments congratulating her and wishing her all the best in her new venture.
You will recall that
In 2001, Darego was crowned Most Beautiful Girl in Nigeria. Contrary to popular belief, Darego did not replace Valerie Peterside after the latter was dethroned, as she had won Miss Nigeria. A few months later she was a contestant at Miss Universe, and became the first Nigerian to place among the top 10 semi-finalists, finishing seventh overall. She was the only one to wear a maillot as opposed to a bikini during the swimsuit competition.
In November that year, she became the first native African to claim the Miss World title (Although past winners such as Penelope Coelen and Anneline Kriel are South African, they are of European descent, and Antigone Costanda, who represented Egypt in 1954 is of Greek heritage). Darego’s victory was widely welcomed in her home country, and her one-year tenure included goodwill trips and scheduled appearances on behalf of the pageant, and a national honour of MFR.
