The Nigerian Queen finally responds to Miss Cynthia Ugbah

I know most of you might have read the alleged sexual harrassment claim made by the dethroned Queen, Miss Cynthia Ugbah against the organisers of your favorite beauty pageant The Nigerian Queen, Former Queen of Trust and have kept wondering why 247tops hasn't made any post about the matter. Well here is the reason, as you all know 247tops was one of the partners of Queen of Trust 2015 where Cynthia Ugbah emerged the winner and was awarded a Brand New Car(read here) and we wanted to get our facts right and hear from both parties thereby making sure is not just a PS(Publicity Stunt).

The Social Media community on 14th January, 2016 woke up to another controversy between the dethroned Queen Cynthia Ugbah and the organisers of The Nigerian Queen (formerly Queen of Trust) over what she alleges was a "sexual harrassment". She made series of post on instagram(read here) and i must say got the attention she needed to attempt to pull a huge organisation such as the The Nigerian Queen. Well it might interest you to know that the organisers have voiced out their own side of the story which you will be able to find below in this post of my, but the big question is: Why wait over 6 months before making these allegations? Only subsequent facts can answer this question. But in the meantime here is what the Organisation had to say:

THE NIGERIAN QUEEN RESPONSE CONCERNING ALLEGED SEXUAL HARRASSMENT BY MISS. CYNTHIA UGBAH 

As an organization with great reputation that has stood test of time, we wish to respond to the claims Miss Cynthia Ugbah alleged. Miss Cynthia sworn to frustrate our organization consequent to her dethronement as the Queen, thus she was found wanting in character and otherwise. Cynthia's claim to car is inconclusive because it is stated in our contract signed by her after her emergence, under (2.7) and (2.8). it reads (2.7) I am fully aware that the star prize (a brand new Kia Rio 2015) will be under the management of Queen of Trust Organisation till after my one year reign) (2.8) I am fully aware the star prize will become mine after my one year successful reign and i have the right to remove the official brand name from the car.

Furthermore, Cynthia had a driver before her suspension, the driver was employed to assist in conveying her to her official functions. This is not the first time we have given out a car, we have done it in the past and the winners went home with the car after their reign. Reacting to her prostitution claim, the organization frowns at such an act as it is also stipulated in her contract in section (3.6) which says : As a beauty Queen am a mirror the society therefore i shall in no manner be involved in nudity scandals of prostitution.

We wish to categorically states that: Cynthia's emergence was based on meritocracy as she never paid our organisation or slept with anyone to win her crown. Cynthia after her emergence till date failed to affect lives with pet projects, several breach of contracts, questionable posts on instagram and social media, etc

The Nigerian Queen wishes to educate the public that all claims from Miss Cynthia is false allegation ranging from the grievances that she was dethroned, we wish to educate the general public that the Nigerian Queen on her 7th edition has stood tall and has never been found wanting as our antecedents speaks better.

 Thanks to all our Friends, Partners and Sponsors who called to hear our response to these allegations, we will continue to make everyone proud as our dreams to make Nigeria a better one will never be cut short. We wish Miss Cynthia Ugbah well in all her other endeavors and chosen career. God Bless Nigeria

Queen Preye Inokoba,

National Director, The Nigerian Queen
