Call her 'Aunty Pikin', don't worry you won't lose your invite to "Beauty For Purpose Charity Gala Ball" as this is the new name Her Majesty Queen Winifred, TNQ 2016 is being called whenever she visits children. This week was no different as the ever dazzling Queen accompanied by Queen Lucia Adamma Udoh, TNQ 2016 1st Runner Up and the National Director Princess Preye paid a visit to DE MARILLAC CENTRE (For Street Children) . The pretty Queen Winifred restated her commitment in ensuring that children get qualitative education and better shelter. She also promised to use her Office as the reigning Queen to open talks and encourage governmental agencies to do more on child-related matters. See what she wrote on her visit below:
"Today I and Lucia Udoh Nigerian Queen 2016 1st runner up with the National director paid a visit to DE MARILLAC CENTRE (For Street Children) . It wasn't one of those my pleasure visit. It was painful to see homeless children both girls and boys, it's my believe that No child chooses to live on the streets. Sadly, even in our modern,globalized world, many children continue to live on the streets. Many thanks to Daughters of charity of St. Vincent De Paul for providing shelter for these children. It is not about the food or cash we donated but their ability to keep showing that captivating smiles on their beautiful faces despite their environment. It shows they have hope and that hope will return greatness to them. I'm also using this opportunity to ask those in authorities to please help these children. They are also the leaders of tomorrow." Winifred Uduimoh Nigerian Queen 2016

"Giving Back to the Society" , which is one of the aims and objectives of The Nigerian Queen Organization was set in motion by the reigning The Nigerian Queen, Queen Tender.  "SMILE OF A CHILD" which happens to be the name of the project accomplished by Queen Tender, was a project that was set up to bring back smiling faces to our children. "SMILE OF A CHILD" has impacted the lives of many children as Her Majesty ensures that every school she visits gets quality educational materials to enhance educational productivity. On one of her "SMILE OF A CHILD" journey she was quoted saying:
"When i visited Prisibe community school, i was astonished at the kind of environment where these young ones are expected to learn. The classes were just demarcated with wooden screens and the direct heat from the sun was unbearable. But that not withstanding, these kids are so impressively intelligent. The welcome speech by the senior prefect was so touching. I had a brief seminar with them and was impressed by the intelligent questions they were asking. At the end of the day gifts, stationeries and few scholarships were given , though not much, but as the saying goes" little by little, tiny drops can make an ocean". See photos from "SMILE OF A CHILD" at Prisibe Community School.


Chai See sweat!!!, i can only imagine and for those of saying "Na Small Tin" Na small tin like this way dey make people abandon their crown and then cry foul. No shots intended this is just a blogger's view.

After the completion of her project, Queen Tender had this epic closing remark:

"As the handover day fast approaches, i look back and recount all the efforts and sacrifices that have been put in towards a successful reign and i count it all joy. The lives we have touched, the smiles and happiness we have shared and the impact we have made will hopefully go a long way in setting up a chain reaction of charity and philanthropy for posterity. I pass on the mantle with mixed feelings first of all, pride and joy knowing that i have set a good example but also a little sad that the time has come to say goodbye. After all said and done, i promise to continue to do my fair share in making the world a better place in my own little way especially in the lives of our precious little children. Every child is your child, every child is my child. #SmileOfAChild #RoadToTheNigerianQueen2016"

Let's talk about Beauty Pageant (BP). BP is a reality show, it's an investment and a business in which the investors look forward to making profit. One of the ways they make profit is by selling tickets for the Grand finale, others are through sponsorships and selling of advert space on their event brochure etc. Thus, one shouldn't mistake beauty pageant for a charitable event. Instead many Pageant Organization have their own NGOs or platforms they use in giving back to the society.

Gentle men of the press, stakeholders here present, wishing you a warm afternoon. It gives me great pleasure today welcoming you to this press conference.

The idea behind the Queen of trust pageant is to search, and subsequently present to the world, young ladies with exceptional virtue and values. Through whom the organization will work with in fulfilling its strong humanitarian mandate.

Permit me to start by confirming to you that Queen of Trust is in the list of best pageantry in African, particularly in Nigeria. This, largely is due to the remarkable sincerity (sincerity is not cheap) we employ in the process of selecting our queen, our outstanding humanitarian services, the discipline and training we give to our contestants. It is also worthy to note that, Queen of trust is one of the few pageant in the world that has made public its scoring process. Of course, you know, Queen of trust pageant has maintained a remarkable consistency from 2009 to date. Within these years the event has grown into a world class event with all the glamour, style and class. The photos and videos from previous events will attest to this eloquently. I am also pleased to say that the Queen of trust pageant has won different awards. Notable amongst them is 'the most outstanding beauty pageant of the year 2014 and most recently best pageant of the year at the garden city fashion awards 2015'. Our pageant has also gotten lots of recognition and has attracted sponsorship and support from both public and private enterprises, as well as from well-meaning individuals.

Today, the 26th day of October 2015, the management and board of Queen of trust organization has made public their decision to rename our most esteemed and distinguished pageant. We do this; mindful of the fact that the name 'Queen of trust' is one that has become a brand and has been so popularized around the globe. But the management and board of the organization feels the need to give the event a strong National appeal, hence the change of name. The idea is to enable Nigerians easily associate and connect with the event; to ensure all Nigerians feel a sense of belonging as long as the event is concerned.

Ladies and gentle men, it’s my privilege as the PRESIDENT and C.E.O of the organization to unveil to you the new name. The event formerly known and called ' Queen of trust' beauty pageant will now be known and called THE NIGERIAN QUEEN (TNQ) It is our belief that this renaming will help place the event in proper perspective and position it as a National and not just a regional event. In line with this change, aspirants from the different geographical zones in Nigeria are welcomed and they can be sure of a free, fair and credible process, void of any form of discrimination. Our dream is to see that each year every Local Government in Nigeria is represented. We are proud to say that as an organization we believe in The Nigerian lady, the typical Nigeria lady is inherently courteous, respectful, self-confident and beautiful. We therefore present this as an opportunity for all Nigeria Ladies, within the age bracket required to strive to serve our Nation Nigeria as beauty queens. THE NIGERIAN QUEEN is not all about beauty, gift, money and fashion. The NIGERIAN QUEEN must be intelligent, smart, compassionate, bold and classy. This is necessary as they are strong ingredients to enable the queen meet up the strong demands that will be placed on her as queen, particularly our strong humanitarian mandate. So we will give all our best to develop the real woman in them.

 THE NIGERIAN QUEEN Organization will also through the projects of our queens as they emerge, empower woman and youths all over Nigerian. We will encourage women and the less privileged in our society to be self confident and inspire them to continue to strive to be the best that they can be. I assure our teeming fans, sponsors and well wishers all over the world that this change of name is positive. It is an evident of growth and improvement. It is a sign that the event is getting better and bigger. Again, I assure you all that as a team we are equal to the task. So sit, relax and watch your favorite beauty event reach its peak.

Let me use this platform to inform everyone, most importantly to all beautiful Nigeria young ladies, The Nigerian Queen 2016 pageant will be highly competitive, Educating and with great fun, we are already putting plans in place to make 2016 a Reality, we are giving out two brand new cars as Star prizes for 2016, one for The Nigerian Queen and the other for the first runner up, because 2016 pageant will be very competitive so the first runner up deserve a worthy prize, we are also adding beauty for purpose, community service and City march as a major competitions for 2016, watch out for more details as we will official kick start sales of form before the end of Nov. 2015

Allow me to make use of this privilege to say a loud thank you to everyone that has worked so hard to see this dream grow into reality, the National director, deputy director, secretary, accountant, creative director, IT Manager, Media director, all state/regional coordinators, our sponsors, supporters, and to everyone present here today I say may the Good lord bless you all, bless the Nigerian Queen organization, and bless our country Nigeria.

Keep supporting and believing in what we do and we will not let your down. Thank you.
