Nollywood actress and philanthropist Rita Dominic Anosike has revealed why she took up the role of chairperson of the Miss Nigeria<\/a> beauty pageantry.<\/p>\n

Speaking on News Central\u2019s TV programme, Jasiri, she explained that her decision was driven by her passion for initiatives that empower young women. She expressed her admiration for the organisation\u2019s values and policies, which align with her belief in supporting women\u2019s growth.<\/p>\n

According to her, many young women possess immense talent and beauty but often lack the guidance needed to chart their future paths. She emphasised that the Miss Nigeria organisation provides the necessary support to help these women discover and achieve their potential, a mission she deeply resonates with.<\/p>\n

\u201cNow, take for instance, the last two weeks, these young queens have been in camp. I have seen tremendous difference since they\u2019ve been in camp, and it\u2019s just so beautiful to watch. I\u2019ve seen them embrace or come to understand who they are.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey\u2019ve unlearned, they\u2019ve relearned, and it\u2019s just a beautiful thing to see. So imagine if we even had more time with them in camp, the sort of impact that would be made on them in camp. And it\u2019s very important.<\/p>\n

\u201cLook, when I was growing up, we didn\u2019t have many platforms like this. So for me, having a platform like this that empowers a young woman, that helps them, helps to shape them to becoming the leading light of the country, I\u2019m all for it. And I think that\u2019s one of the reasons why I decided to go on this journey,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Rita Dominic observed that beauty pageantry had experienced a decline in public interest for reasons she could not fully understand. However, she noted a recent resurgence of enthusiasm for such events and expressed optimism about revitalising the Miss Nigeria pageant under the management of the Audrey Silver Company<\/a>.<\/p>\n

She explained that the organisation is leveraging digital tools and integrating storytelling into the pageant to re-engage audiences. One such initiative includes introducing public voting, which allows fans to select a contestant for the top 10. Dominic emphasised that this approach not only involves the public but also sparks conversation and excitement around the event. She believes these efforts, along with innovative strategies, will help restore the pageant\u2019s appeal and relevance.<\/p>\n

\u201cI can already see young people, you know, they\u2019re so excited about Miss Nigeria, they want to be involved, they want to know what\u2019s happening, they\u2019re already choosing their queens online, you know, so I\u2019m hoping that all these things that Audrey Silver wants to do with Miss Nigeria, all these ideas, will help, you know, like renew the public interest and I think it\u2019s happening.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis year our theme is our cultural heritage and political participation for women in politics, you know, and community engagement. Now at the Miss Nigeria organisation we do not have height criteria because we believe that beauty runs deep, it runs across, right, so we don\u2019t have that height criteria.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have, you see that some of the contestants who are contesting tomorrow are small, but they are beautiful, they\u2019re intelligent, you know, they\u2019re powerful in their own way and that is one of the things that attracted me to the organisation, that\u2019s one of the things that made me take on this role as the chairman of Miss Nigeria because I noticed that they say to themselves, or their policy is that, look, women all over, women can be beautiful regardless of how you look outside, it\u2019s about how you look on the inside, it\u2019s about your intelligence, it\u2019s about what you bring to the table and that is what we\u2019re encouraging in young men to say, look, you can be beautiful on the outside but ultimately what is important is what is on the inside.\u201d<\/p>\n
