I love Vivien,now my love has increased to the point of no return,for the first time,i saw a competition that was not rigged.
From the top Five the Miss Edo had a perfect shape but point those scar was a no no,Miss Lagos beautiful girl but her height wasn't working for her,Miss Abia beautiful smile and fantastic shape but her height sold her out,no.three,her confidence wasn't there,but Miss Baylsa had the complete package,poise,elegance,diction
Booor Vivien you should go to the renown pageantries and tell them how its done.

If miss abia was taller she would have won, she captured the audience with her smile, and her shape is to die for.

Well done vivien. The show was really interesting but didnt start on time but I enjoyed it at d end. Miss bayelsa was gud n she deserved d crown. The top five girls are beautiful. Miss edo was funny n beautiful, no 3 miss edo hav a great shape n wil mak a gud actress also lol n beautiful. She got lil scar on her knee tho but it's nothing. She did well. Miss ogun dress was a wow but she never did alot of things right. She stood at d wrong place, forgot to wait and answer questions and brought out a phone and was reading from it. That's a big ass no no. I tink her dress n her smile made her a runner up, miss bayelsa is a darling. I love her but she missd a question. Hmm Miss abia aint tall and aint suppose to b a runner up hell no. She is only beautiful, sexy n lovely. Girls wit brains r best for business. Vivi d runner up aint.it cox their height matters alot. Gud job

Josh said...

Tobi the so called judge,please drop your diva attitude at the door,you only won miss lagos carnival,you are just there nothing wow abt you looks.You kept rating most of them 4/10 mean while what sort of question is WHAT IS YOUR BEAUTY SPOT?abeg pack well

DivaBoy said...

It was a nice show and I enjoyed seeing miss Ogun, her speech and all were just articulate.

Most of the girls I saw that day are not worth to contest for any pageant, except Miss Bayelsa(1), miss Edo(15), and of course, miss Ogun(7). Wonder how others made it to the pageant. They were not pleasing and appealing to the audience.

I still remember contestant no. 2 (miss Delta) saying "...to the less privileges" She's pretty but beauty with grammatical blunders, it's a turn down.

Congrats to miss Bayelsa. I think her relation with Vivien gave her the crown. In my opinion, Contestant no. 7 (miss Ogun) or 15 (miss Edo) should have emerged the winner.

Complaining about how miss Ogun did her project reading through her phone. It was okay to use her phone because the show was kinda mediocre.

Stella said...

DivaBoy where in the world have you seen a queen with such deep scare win a pageant,the Miss Edo had a big scare which is a no no,that why she was top 5.Have you read the prerequisite of the show,(faces for bill borad,which Miss Ananmra brought in,her smile and intelligence,Mis Bayelsa total package,Miss Ogun more of modelling because she is not tall enough and maybe enrolled for Miss Nigeria),but most inportantly its to bring them to limelight and be seen as smart promising ladies.Miss Edo fumbled with her questions,beauty with out brains,most of her answers where,I,me myself and I and that not an attribute of the pageant.Miss Ogun had no height and she was not articulate. Baysela had height,poise,diction and was articulate.I remenber attending one of the trainings,Viven was strict on all of them& i felt Miss Ogun was lucky because Vivien pardoned her on several occassions when she turned up late and her words of encouragement to all of them so saying she had a preferential,i don't think so.It was a fair election in my opinion.
Divaboy.....be objective&dont let you sentiment take over.

Maxwell said...

From the speech Vivien gave on that day was more of pushing the young ladies who have potential to give them a plateform to excel,most of them never knew what pageantry was about,all they knew was they were fine,but they want to ,i am sure most of the ladies were worse off before the training to get them to be better from what we saw that day.
I am sure Vivien must have put 101% for such turn out refining these ladies.
Thumps up Vivien,i know it was a success for the 1st ever.
Some existing pageant do have mediocre but what i saw that day you nailed it for such a show as the first ever.
Divaboy be a realistic, i am a man like you.I wish i had seen you at the event or better said try pulling off bunch of ladies who are clueless on training but yet whant to be known. Certainly you have never organised an event.

people just make cmments witout thinking, diva boy, hw can u say contestant 15 shud hve emerged winner, did she ansa any questions right? she had a scar on her face and dats a big NO,miss bayelsa deserved the crown and the first and second runner up miss ogun and miss abia deserved to be runners up, they were beautiful and had poise, their height was the ish, give honor to who honor is due, there was no bias or games in all this, it was a very fair competition.

Ngozi said...

I heard Miss Ogun had wardrobe malfunction,and she came out without anyone noticing,that is a queen.But if she was taller,that wld have been an edge over Miss bayelsa

Ugonna said...

I am in love with Vivien's outfits,GORG,pls where did you get them,fitted you like gloves

Anonymous said...

How is Teju baby face with his wife Tobi putting on airs,takes forever to ask questions because was over think of what to ask.Loved Vivien and Joy as judges,they aked good pageantry questions,had attractive looks,but Tobi I've heard so much about,I was expecting a 'wow' look but she was average and boning is a put off for an ex beauty queen.

DivaBoy said...

@Stella, What has sentiment got to do with my plain and honest opinion? If you could say miss Bayelsa was all these: "had height,poise,diction and was articulate." I give up on you. First of all, she wasn't all that. And what about beauty? Wasn't that part of the pageant? From Laviv expression, one of what miss xpress urself is about says: "Miss XpressUrSelf pageant offers ladies the chance to become beauty queens." Now, tell me who can be termed as a beauty queen? In case you still do not get it, you may visit this link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beauty_pageant

Miss Edo had scar that could never let her emerge the winner and still contested. I thought they were screened? Let's put miss Edo apart maybe because of her scar.

Talk about height, miss Bayelsa had it, talk about beauty, you'll give it to miss Ogun. Now tell me, which one matters most in a beauty pageant?

The only thing miss Bayelsa had over miss Ogun was height. And I'm sure the show wasn't tagged 'miss height'. And both of us would agree that miss Ogun is the beautiful one compared to miss Bayelsa which is more important in a pageant.

(Note: my comment is based on the last 3)

@Maxwell, I don't need to organise an event to have an idea of how it is run. Why was I a spectator? I'm sure you do watch football and understand the game. You just sounded like a pupil. I want to believe you read the part that where I wrote "it was a nice show" in my comment up there. Why I said it was mediocre was because of the poster that complained about how miss Ogun did her project using her phone.

That was my opinion. So for you to start talking about commenting without thinking is what I don't get. Please if you have any dispute with my opinion, comment your disagreement without insults.

@Ngozi, spot on!
