Official Thread of MISS WORLD 2001 - Agbani Darego - Nigeria

[Tidus]

Darego, a tall slender girl with warm, empathetic eyes and a wide innocent smile, affectionately called as Agbani was the first Nigerian and the first Black African woman to win the Miss World beauty pageant. She was crowned in Sun City, South Africa in the 51st Miss World pageant held on November 16, 2001.

In 2000, she had been eliminated from the Nigerian qualifications for the M-Net Face of Africa modeling contest. But she later became Miss Nigeria, but only after the original winner was disqualified, leaving the title open for the first runner-up. Thus she got a chance to appear for the Miss World title. She was also a semifinalist in Miss Universe 2001 and Webmasters choice winner for Miss Universe 2001. Raised from a humble background, Darego the sixth child in a family of eight, describes herself  as a born-again Christian. She is currently pursuing a modeling career in Europe.

Some people might say the MW 01 isnt beautiful. I don agree with the at all. The thing is that for many people beauty has always been portrayed following the european (white people so to say) standards. Abgani is a BEAUTY the thing is taht she is a beautiful woman that represents the beauty of her race. Misses like: Carolina Indriago (M Venezuela 98), Alexandra Mendoza (Señorita Colombia 01 if my memory is rigt) and the very own Ada Aimeé de la Cruz ere beautiful women indeed but why do we consider then so beautiful?

Congratilations to her once again! Very elegant woman you cant deny it!
