Miss Big Tourism Unveils Project For Girl Child
Miss Big Tourism Ni
geria, Queen Esther Nwauka has unveiled her plans to better the lives of the girl child through her pet project which she loves with passion. According to her, the project is aimed at advising the girl child against the dangers of early pregnancy, sale of their new born babies through the baby factories as well as early sex.
The queen who spoke with The Tide Entertainment in Port Harcourt recently, observed that a lot of young innocent girls are sexually abused everyday as most of them find succor in sleeping with men for financial gratifications, at the end of the day they are saddled with unwanted pregnancies.
She noted that most parents abandon their girl child by denying them the opportunity of going to school just because they are girls and this exposes them to various psychological and emotional traumas. She explained that the campaign will take her to schools, baby factories and other remote communities to stop the inhuman behaviour in order to restore the pride and dignity of the girl child in Nigeria.
The English language graduate of College of Education explained that the pageant is about celebrating something extra (Extra large physique). She said in the whole world, people always have something to do with slim girls nobody has reached out to the extra-large ladies, so the Miss big pageant organised by a Non-Governmental Organisation (NGO) called Sky-Vision-International owned by Dr (Mrs) Olubunmi has given ladies the opportunity to showcase their size and beauty as well as give them voice and encouragement them to be proud of whom they are. According to her, the 9th Edition was held at the Sheraton Hotel, Abuja last year and it witnessed the participation of 18 contestants within and outside Nigeria.
On the proliferation of beauty pageants in Nigeria she said organizers should be check mated to save the image and integrity of the industry. She urged pageant organizers to be open and sincere to their contestants by telling them the truth about what to expect in terms of consolation prices instead of telling lies from the onset by promising what they cannot give. She noted that the practice gives bad image to beauty pageants in Nigeria, they should also shun nudity and other events that promote immorality all in the name of beauty pageantry and quest for money.
R&B star, Temilade Openiyi, popularly known as Tems, has recounted the early-career challenges she faced, revealing that she was once booed out of the stage while performing at a school event.
Speaking in an interview with Newsmen, the Crazy Tings crooner shared that she wasn’t only booed but was also harassed with plastic bottles.
“I remember one time I was going to perform at my school as an up-and-coming singer and I thought I was going to receiving a standing ovation.
“But I got booed. They even threw plastic bottles at me,” she recalled.
Tems explained that despite the embarrassing incident and other such rejections, she remained determined to pursue a career in music.
The Tide Entertainment reports that Tems admitted that some of the initial rejections she faced could be due to her conviction to stick to her originality instead of doing covers or familiar sounds like most of her peers.
The Grammy-winning singer said looking back now, she is glad that she didn’t compromise her style despite the initial pressures.
A close associate of late singer Mohbad, Primeboy, has appealed for the artiste’s burial nearly three years after his death.
According to him, Mohbad’s body remains in the mortuary since September 12, 2023, pending burial arrangements.
The Tide Entertainment reports that in a statement Primeboy urged the family, public, and government to permit the burial, stating, “It’s been almost three years since Mohbad left us. His body is still in the mortuary. I’m begging the family, I’m begging the public, I’m begging the government, please let’s bury our brother. He deserves a befitting burial.”
It would be recalled that Mohbad’s death sparked public outrage, protests, and investigations. Ongoing autopsy examinations, police inquiries, and legal proceedings have delayed burial arrangements amid family disagreements and public scrutiny.
