natural paraphernalia of beauty to be special in the hearts of people.”She said the pageantry was, therefore, set to provide a platform were ladies who are endowed with extra natural body structures in spirit and in brain, come to compete with their likes.

Speaking on the challenges, she said since inception of the project,
the present edition is better than the previous editions as they have
been able to contain some challenges and advance beyond the point of
their beginning.She stated that however, there are established challenges in every new arrangement, including the reality of the quintessential ladies in boldly embracing the pageantry as a way of bravity to promote the essence of being big
