Speaking on how the queen’s emerged, in a pageant aimed to redefine, mould and reshape the mindsets of young teenage girls, Director of Miss Teen Global Beauty Nigeria, popularly called, Nigeria’s King of Queens, Mrs. Gwendolyn Tagbarha said, 70% of the total was taken right from the auditions, home task assignments, behavioral assessment, hard work, attitude, camp activities and submitted to the judges, while their stage performances during the Grand finale made up the other 30%.” 

She added that, to ensure credibility of the brand and provide a level playing ground for all contestants, “none of the contestants were given tickets to sell like it is done with other pageant.” 

Meanwhile, reacting to her win, an elated Confiance Victor who holds a National Diploma in Chemical engineering from Imo State Polytechnic says: 

“I feel incredibly happy about winning because it was a tough competition where there were so many great girls, but the crown chooses me, and it choose me for a purpose. It’s more than a prize to me, it’s an opportunity that will change my life for good.”
