As a beauty pageant coach- Vivien Nwandu

 

 

Vivien Nwandu explains why she had the urged to have started the Miss Xpressurself Nigeria, in her exact words “Everybody is a queen in their own right but the ability to standout and a make a difference is what clearly distinguishes you from the crowd, a platform was needed to create an avenue to empower young ladies and give them a voice. 

Being the founder of Miss Xpressurself Nigeria and member of the team that put the event together and also one of the panels of the three judges, I was particularly impressed with the level of the preparation of the 20 contestants on stage, their pet projects and the way they were able to practice the etiquettes in it's true meaning.

My modeling and pageantry coaching over the years have proven itself with the evidence of  Tarere Obaigbo emerged the Winner of Miss Xpressurself Nigeria 2014, reinventing herself to her full potential as she emerged the winner of Mrs Nigeria 2021,which made her to become the first Nigerian to participate in the Mrs. World pageantry, months after emerging as Mrs. Nigeria. The Mrs World which was held  in Las Vegas,USA,2022, at the period of all of these she was to be a country guest at the Mrs Universe,Mrs Globe and Mrs United Nations.

As I gushed with smiles all over my face as she was announced top 16 among thousands of contestants to make history as the first Nigerian and West African to make it to the semi finals of Mrs World beauty pageant 2022. Putting Nigeria on the global map as she was also crowned Mrs Africa World.

These above for me is a milestone, just from the little dream I had ‘laser focus’ on birthing a new generation of smart, goal-driven, yet humble young ladies. A vision on their intellect, how you communicate, interact with others (which gives access to team work) how to be impactful to the community, having a voice both career-wise, their personal endeavors, follow their passion and always reinvent themselves and remaining humble despite all of these achievements- a dream that blossomed into a reality to the entire world”.

Orieme as I often called her… if you are reading this, you have truly represented the woman I have always set for Miss Xpressurself Nigeria… you are still with the title until I embark on the next pageant edition to birth another world breaking record...on this platform

In the course of her interview embarking on her journey as a modeling and pageantry coach she stated:

Few months, same year Tarere Obaigbo participated in Queen Nigeria 2014, where she was part of the team of the event, coordinating about 25 models that were qualified for the pageantry on how to comport themselves in public spaces.

Tarere Obaigbo used all the skills she acquired during the three weeks training to emerge as Miss xpressurself Nigeria gave her an edge to be among top 10 and won most friendly among her conestants and was represented with a rewarding gift. Within a year thereafter, 2015, Tarere Obaigbo took another bold step to participate in Miss Progress International 2015, and Miss Vivien Nwandu and her team gave her the encouragement, boost she needed to once again to her foot forward.

In conclusion, a journey of a thousand steps began with a single step as these big accomplishments cannot be easily forgotten in the lives of thousands of people she inspired and transformed their lives especially the top three winners of Miss Xpressurself Nigeria 2014….as we discovered the 1^st runner up was among top 5 Sisi Oge contest and 2^nd runner up Miss Fotogenix   all happened right after the beauty pageant.

Indeed, what a legacy! Her passion for helping others will always resonate…an excerpt from one of her fans.

Do You Remember them as winners of Miss XpressUrSelf Nigeria?

Yes! they are have accomplished, become  a bigger and wonderful being in the world just by partaking in  Miss XpressUrself Nigeria 2014…. which took place 9years ago at Eko hotel and Suites on the 26th of april,2014. A pageantry organized by Miss Vivien Nwandu with a simple mission :change the world one step at a time.

One of the interview she had years back with Duchess International Magazine..has proved itself once again.

Clear evidence that you can be part of the people who can change the world; one child at a time which brings in a creative chain and in turn produces a chain reaction which gives birth to great achievers making great impact in the world ...a typical example is what Vivien Nwandu has been able to prove with her maiden pageantry...Miss XpressUrSelf Nigeria, which was held at Eko Hotel & Suites on the 26th of April,2014.

 

The pageantry platform that imbibed 18 young graduates with a theme that infers that being a queen is about style, intelligence, elegance, beauty and a a platform used to empower them in the society and also give them a voice both as career-wise, their personal endeavours, to follow their passion and always reinvent themselves

It is also a mission that has clothed these ladies with epitome of beauty, having a purposeful life and impacting the lives of people positively and making the vision come to reality as Miss XpressUrself Nigeria has impacted on these ladies in so many ways. Here are their testimonials-

21 DAYS FROM ABUJA TO LAGOS

 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sgPPt_NM-ZQ

A man dying of a brain haemorrhage Approaching Kogi State about 25 minutes after leaving Abuja, the first police checkpoint I noticed was with a barricade of what looked like some bags of rice which had encroached the road, forcing cars to slow down. Just right about 10 minutes drive came another checkpoint after the first one but the terrible accident occurred just before the checkpoint. It would have been worse if there was no police check. They made the emergency call; the ambulance would not have come on time if it happened distance away from Abuja. The grand rule of any driver especially in Nigeria was 100km/hr on highway but this man was on 200km/hr. No wonder some people have phobia for driving. The horrific accident and blood spilling on the ground made it impossible for us to stop and there was absolutely nothing we could do. Moreover, I overheard among the crowd (since we were moving really slowly and I had unwound my glass) that the patient was losing a lot of blood, for his neck had stuck out of the windscreen, hanging like a suspended hanger. The sound of the ambulance gave me hope that the woman and her unborn child would make it. Faint sobs could be heard from the crowd. “Please save my husband, call a doctor! I’m begging you! He’s only 45years old! I can’t live without him”. I saw that he was badly injured but I am a neurosurgeon and I was helpless. I could not move if not I would have treated him before the ambulance arrived. “Please! Someone help me save him”. “Don’t worry, ambulance is on the way, they are group of men there, I am sure they can do their best till it gets here” said one of the people in the crowd. One person from the crowd moved away from her and told the next man that her husband had lost so much blood, his situation didn’t seem too optimistic. 

She is an author,a mobile lecturer,and she has a podcast on Your Life & Sex

 https://youtu.be/qEEUHYjgUr8 YourSex & Reality harps on spouses being true to themselves by communicating their sexual behaviour, lifestyle and orientation to each other to achieve sexual satisfaction which culminates to a healthy lifestyle.

Being a relationship expert with a wealth of experience in sex and lifestyle has exposed me to funny attitudes spouses put up while dealing with the issue of sex and lifestyle which contributes negatively to many living in misery because they have not achieved satisfaction in bed. Some of the attitudes include, pretence, being shy to discuss sex with a partner, not being able to explore the best possible means of satisfying a partner, not being ready to discover the best sex methods and styles that work for the spouses, etc. 

The funny thing about it is that most spouses go about their activities, acting as if their sex life is okay, meanwhile there's an inner craving longing to be satisfied, sexually- this is one of the drivers of infidelity in relationships.

Sex & Reality is a mother of necessity designed to provide a platform for spouses to satisfy themselves, sexually.

In this book, Vivien Nwandu brings her expertise to bare in an amazing exactitude. She dishes it out raw while distilling relationship techniques that can bring spouses to love and appreciate sex as a gift from God to the enjoyment of humanity.

Those, who are struggling with their sex life will find this book as a manual leading them to discover an approach and behaviour that works best for them.

The language is simple and appealing to all who are desirous to rule their sex life.

THIS PODCAST AND BOOK IS FOR THOSE IN A SERIOUS RELATIONSHIP.

IT IS NOT FOR CHILDREN.

Rotary District 9110 40th Annual District Conference - Rotary is good

Vivien Nwandu -creating a world that support everyone, especially in the communities-

 

Create a world that support everyone, especially in the communities, to the youths because they are the future of tomorrow.

This my little way of contributing to the society.

The Brain Box of the Mind, this book is in line with our advocacy which is centered on promotion of self- discovery.

In this book, a young, energetic, dynamic intelligent and hardworking African child who grew up in a multicultural background found love in the process of positively impacting many businesses of people. A young boy full of determination of self-discovery, perseverance, faced a lot of hurdles that would have clogged his wheel of progress and shattered his long-driven purpose.

Discussing with students in different schools, most of them are willing to become like this little boy in the book, to make something of their lives, to have that rare exercise of the main character’s will power, and tenacity. His tangential life totally focused on growth and fulfilment.

This post is to encourage one of us to impact lives in any way we can with what we have.

BTS my Birthday shoot |My Visit to Hearts of Gold |Iphone 12 Pro versus Andriod

 

Met Mrs Laja Adedoyin, we spoke briefly, very pleasant mama. To be honest with you the first time I visited this orphanage way back as 2014,i was not able to sleep that night having spent time with each of these kids with predicaments.....babies with Hydrocephalus,microephalus,down syndrome,dyslexia,cerebral palsy,autism.

The truth of the matter is that when you visit the less privileged homes, you will find out that you don't have a problem and you will take God everyday for life.

You might not have money for providing complete health care and medical supplies but at least visit with food, clothes, house hold materials like detergent, sanitary towel, toiletries etc and make some one smile again.

It was my birthday on the 29th of October and i had every reason to e grateful.....see photos and videos of how my day was.

Will Nengi be disqualified/BBNaija Analysis with Vivien

  

Big Brother Nigeria for me is an entertainment show that displays how to manage people.

I discovered that BB Naija housemates need to learn time management, effective management, anger management, budgeting, leadership skills etc

In each of the episode, I will pick and discuss briefly on any particular attribute displayed for us to all learn and teach each other.

Today, Nengi shoved Kaisha twice during a verbal fight with Kaisha over boiling water…….Trivial issue.

It’s one sided story as at the time of this video, Nengi was in the kitchen boiling water, and  Kaisha said that she wanted to see if the water was boiling perhaps she wanted to use the kettle or so, but she realized that the socket was not plugged and she told Nengi that the water wasn’t boiling and that was when Nengi started raining abuses on Kaisha, that she is stupid and they started body shaming each other etc.

Erica please don’t use Wathoni’s child against her, not cool.

The question is how Nengi reacted to the situation which was shoving Kaisha and that is clearly against the BBNaija  rules…..you can verbal quarrel but no body contact.

So viewers do you think Nengi will be disqualified this weekend?

How many of you love Neo and Vee’s love? 

Is it realistic?/ how can you want to be a friend to someone who wants a relationship with you

 

We have all been played, we have all be Layconed.

Nobody should crucify Erica for wanting to eat her cake and have it. She is only entertaining us. And so is Kiddwaya. Ozo and Nengi…. I don’t think Nengi is going to change her mind, so Ozo move on fast, which I think you are already doing.

Viewers can an man and a woman be besties? This is typical of what is happening in the Big Brother Naija season 5.

Hold the girls& wife miscarries over a punch from her husband for watching Big Brother Naija

Domestic violence is not the way to solving a problem in a home. Men who beat their women are boys not men. Women, you need to control your tongue when arguing with your man especially if he is upset or you are both upset. I keep saying two GOOD heads are better than one. A relationship expert can give you all the advice in the world but if both parties are not willing to make a change or listen, it won’t work. I hope the exercises I demonstrated as requested were helpful for hypertension and palpitation. What is your take on Big Brother Naija, let's know your thoughts on it. Do subscribe, share and comment.
