The winners opened up about winning, future goals and more;

Thoughts on the Anambra pageant scandals?

Chukuwdi Enukoha - We have a lot of misguided youths and that leads them to look for success or fame at all costs, I’m advocating for pageants to follow the line of Face of Okija to have a purpose

Chinasa Ezeamaka - The Anambra scandal was and still is very disturbing. It has such affected pageantry in Nigeria and is degrading to womanhood and in particular our dear Anambra. Pageant winners are public figures and their lives are scrutinized by the general public so it serves as a cautionary tale to organizers to be more careful while screening.

On what it feels like to win:

On their philosophy and personalities

Chukuwdi Enukoha - My philosophy in life is that one must always be himself without pretense and always work hard. I see myself as calm person and a problem solver, however it might be better described by someone else

Chinasa Ezeamaka - To trust in God, he will always see you through any condition in life. I’m loyal, kind, humble, a fast learner and can adapt to any environment with little or no supervision.
