Former Most Beautiful Girl In Nigeria Unoaku Anyadike opens up on her reign, struggle with Endometriosis and more in an interview with The Entertainer.
You have a velvety and glowing skin, what is the secret?
Wow! Thanks. I guess I drink a lot of water. I also make sure I have adequate sleep and eat right. And besides, God blessed me with good skin. And for me eating right simply means eating when you are supposed to eat. I do lots of fruits, vegetables, water, less carbs and stuffs like that.
When you look back at the last two years, what would you say are the high points of your Queenship?
I have many fond memories. Going for the international pageants, Miss World and Miss Universe this year was a mind blowing experience, most especially, Miss Universe in The Philippines. I must confess they were both memorable experiences that will linger for a long time and I will never trade them for anything. I wouldn’t have had these experiences but for MBGN. MBGN gave me the platform to travel far and wide and make my country proud. And also, being able to help people is one experience I have enjoyed greatly. I am talking about the less privileged among us, and of course, my pet project, which was endometriosis. Creating awareness for the condition was quite fulfilling for me.
Why did you make endometriosis your pet project?
At some point, I thought I actually had endometriosis and it was tough for me. I had some experiences and it became a cause very dear to my heart, so I decided to create awareness about it, because a lot of people do not know about it.
How has the MBGN platform impacted you in the last two years?
It has opened a lot of doors for me. I have met and rubbed shoulders with a lot of important people and world leaders, and not just in Nigeria but also across the world. I would always cherish those moments. I learnt that life is about meeting people, traveling, networking and building bridges so that we could have good and lasting relationships with people.
What were your happiest moments?
I have had a lot of them but I can’t point to one and say ‘yes, this is my happiest’. I have had a beautiful two-year reign as MBGN. I got two years instead of a year, so I guess God loves me. I was privileged.
What were your saddest moments?
That would take me a long time to work out. Maybe now that I am about to handover to another queen, as my reign finally comes to an end, I might feel sad because I will be missing the platform. However, I have not really had any saddest moment as such. Silverbird (Group) has been good to me, taking care of me in every way they can, and they are still doing that, and I am sure that is not going to end even after I hand over. For now, it is a grill of mixed emotions and I can’t wait to crown the new queen.
Are you sure you won’t break down in tears on September 15 when you crown the new queen?
(Laughter) No I won’t. It is going to be emotional because I have been queen for two years. Two years seemed like forever. MBGN happens to be on September 15 and my birthday is on September 16, so I’ll hand over on the eve of my birthday. It’s a great way to start a new year.
What beautiful memories are you taking with you?
The relationships I have built over time with the Silverbird Group, the girls I met at Miss World and Miss Universe, and every other person I met internationally. I am still in touch with a lot of the girls I met including Miss India and Miss USA among others. So, life is all about making lasting relationships with different people and that is one thing I won’t trade for anything.
Beyond MBGN, what is the next level for you?
Wow! That has already started, and it is work, work and more work. That includes facing my career, building and training myself and trying to become a better person and focusing on things I hope to achieve with my life as an individual. MBGN was just something I said ‘let me try and see how it goes’ and it was mind blowing. It was not like I had been planning to be a queen forever. MBGN just came along and I gave it a shot and I was lucky enough to win. So now that it is winding up, life will still continue. I had to finish school, do NYSC, which I have completed, and now I work with the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS); and I am looking to have my own school and do my own show among a lot of other things.
What happens to your pet project on Endometriosis?
It would still go on. Endometriosis has no cure, so it is all about creating awareness. Endometriosis has an awareness month; so we will still create awareness, hold walks in Abuja and in every state of the federation. I partner Nordica Fertility Centre and whenever they have events, they call me as endometriosis ambassador. It is not really tasking, so I will continue to do it alongside some other projects I have
