The panel of judges (Chidinma Joy Onwuka Okwumo, Barrister Iyare Imasi, Adeola Hilbel, director of Adeola Afro-Bristo, Jude Ogunnaya, President Nigerian Community Germany, Hamburg and Sab Udeajah, President NIDO e.V. Germany at the recently concluded Miss Nigeria Germany contest which took place on the 29th September 2012 in Hamburg, have, like all other competent judges who know their onions and made it glaring to us that in order to have a good chance of winning a beauty competition, a beauty contestant must possess some amount of charisma, apart from being beautiful, of course.
Call it beauty and brain. She must also possess some other qualities which include good poise, elegance and intelligence, without which her chances of even qualifying for the best five would be greatly reduced. However, all the finalist proved to have all making the judging processes even difficult for the judges. But a verdict must be handed over the duo of Obiora Nweke, Associate publisher African Heritage Magazine and Grace Grace Evaly, who moderated the event.
Toyin Shuaib, a 26 year old beauty from Ilorin Kwara state Nigeria, finally emerged winner for the night to become the New Miss Nigeria Germany for 2012/2013 and the 3rd since its establishment to mark the Nigerian 50th anniversary.
