Background
My name is Queen Celestine Osem. I am
the Most Beautiful Girl in Nigeria, Universe 2014. I represented Edo
State at the pageant. I am 5 ft 10” and my statistics are 34, 28, and
38. I was born on March 18, 1992. I am from Biase Local Government Area
in Cross River State. I studied Mass Communication at Madonna University
Okija, Anambra State. I am representing Nigeria at Miss Universe 2014.
I have always been in love with pageants
because I know I have the looks .The first pageant I participated in
was during my service year as a corper. I contested for and won Miss
NYSC Osun State in 2012. Same year, I participated in Carnival Calabar
Queen and I emerged second runner-up. I was also a part of Miss West
Africa International where I went home with the Miss Amity Award. I made
up my mind to be one of the contestants at the Most Beautiful Girl in
Nigeria 2014.
Parental support
Initially, my father didn’t want me
taking part in these competitions. But now, he is relaxed with the idea.
My family supports me.
First runner-up again
When I was announced as first runner-up and Miss Amity, it was a deja vu
feeling. Last year, I was first runner-up at Miss Nigeria and Miss
Amity at Miss West Africa International. I came to win just like every
other girl that took part in the pageant and I don’t feel bad about not
winning. Now, I’m representing my country internationally.
Life in camp
I would have to say camp was amazing,
the host state, Bayelsa, was warm and welcoming. I learnt a lot from the
in-house instructors and organisers on the journey to being a queen.
The other contestants were beautiful, talented and a complete
representation of Nigeria.
My closest competition
All the ladies were beautiful and
graceful. Each one of us had what it takes to be MBGN; so it will be
difficult for me to select a particular contestant(s) as my stiffest
competition. Besides, it was not a do or die affair. Even if we viewed
each other as competitors while in camp, as the day of the competition
approached, that ceased because by then, we all had bonded like sisters.
Pet project
I will be giving support to different
organisations. I want to be a good ambassador of Nigeria and give the
world more than a bird’s eye view of my culture. One can never be too
prepared. I am learning by the day and believing in God.
Legacy
One thing I know about legacy is that
it’s knowing how you want to live your life and how you will affect the
lives of people around you. In the end, I want to make sure that I am
successful with the things I choose to do and be a woman to reckon with
in the society.
Lifestyle change
I did not change when I became runner-up
at Miss Nigeria last year, why should anything change about me now? I
am still me and I am not different from who I used to be before I
participated in MBGN. I want to remain myself and be the queen I was
born to be.
Style
A lady’s style is what she makes of it.
My wardrobe has always been a representation of what a lady should look
like, one that is classy, sophisticated and luxurious at all times
Relaxation
I love to spend time with family and friends going to the movies, cooking, swimming.
Fitness
To keep fit, I do dance aerobics and I
eat healthy. Every morning, I take a glass of water; do a bit of
exercise either by way of jogging or taking a walk. I take a shower and
then hit the road if I have an appointment to keep. I apply make-up on
my face when it is extremely necessary and keep my face bare sometimes
for my skin to breathe.
Men
I appreciate respectful comments from men.
Fame
It is great being in the limelight but
one must not get carried away by the attention. There is more to life
than people giving you the desired recognition. However, what I enjoy
most in the limelight are being recognised and meeting great people.
