The much coveted crown of the most Beautiful girl in Nigeria 2012 pageant has been won by Miss Cross River Isabella Agbor Ayuk.
Isabella 25, a former Miss Nigeria contestant (2004), Ex Beauty Queen Of The South-South Nigeria (2007/2008), Miss Global Nigeria (2009/2010), , and delegate Miss Global international (World) in Jamaica ( 2010) finally achieved her ultimate dream tonight, as she was crowned the Most Beautiful Girl In Nigeria.
Also, it’s not the first time she’s contesting for the MBGN. Past contestants who spoke with NET tonight say she had contested more than once before now, including in 2010. We could not immediately confirm at what stage she was eliminated.
The new MBGN is a native of Etung Local Government Area of Cross River State, and an alumnus of the University of Calabar. She will be representing Nigeria in the Miss World pageant in Ordos, Inner Mongolia, People’s Republic of China come August 15.
At the event held in Benin tonight, and broadcast live on STV and AIT, Miss Rivers, Miss Abuja, and Miss Kaduna are Miss Universe, Miss Tourism and Miss ECOWAS respectively.
Also, Antonnette Igebu ( Miss Gombe) was crowned Miss La Casera, Miss Select Pro went to Tomi Salami (Miss Kwara). Miss Photogenic: Omobhude Omoye Mary (Miss Edo), while Miss Amity was won by Onuoha Grace (Miss Taraba). The best traditional costume was won by the MBGN world herself, Isabelle Ayuk.
The MBGN gets a brand new Toyota Corolla from the Edo State Government, N1m Cartier wrist watch from Polo and an all expense paid trip to Mongolia by Lufthansa airline.

Congrats Isabella.
So how old was she when she competed for Miss Nigeria in 2004? 17 abi? Lies, lies, lies. Silverbird should be carrying out more stringent checks on the background of the girls they allow to compete.
kudos to d Hosts’……..Cangrates to my gal Isabella Ayuk. Just go make us proud com August, in China. ……….Sung-sung oooooo
Wow! I’m not a hater or anything, but, this has got to
be the oldest ever winner of the crown!
No matter what she or anyone says, she must be well
over 28. Which is not bad, and I’m sure the younger ones
were probably too daft to scale through the Q and A
section, as they most always embarrassingly fail to do.
Well done Isabella!
There comes a time in every mans life, when the sun faces’ his star for him to shine!
It’s your turn to shine! Nigeria and Nigerians celebrate you!
Viva!
Congrats Isabella, your determination has paid off, you started with miss FGC IKOM, last year you made it to top 15, today you’re the MBGN. FGC IKOM, ETUNG LGA, UNICAL & CROSS RIVER STATE congratulate you.

Don’t really know how to put it,bur all I know is dat dis crown was bought from d begining cos dis is d oldest queen ever she’s more dan 25yrs old…plz silver bird do a good background check up in the next MBGN meanwhile miss abuja rocks,she’s d best
After all said…if she were my friend,maybe I too wud say “go girl,ure worth it”,but c’mon guys,dyu need to be told?I dnt have a prob with someone older than 25 being a beauty queen,but did d organisation not say otherwise?Meaning she lied,She contested for Miss Nigeria in 2004,how old does dat make her now?Even her face will tell u.Did u hear her speak?Y do d recent MBGN contestants have faults in speaking n yet even d worst speaker wins?Puleeeez! Need I remind u?Ambassador,dat’s wat dey’re called afterwards.One more thing guys…have u seen d contestants for Miss world Pageant ever? They got a body size like Miss Rivers and Miss Abuja,Miss Cross River is too fat,if she goes for MissWorld pageant woth dat kinda body,she shudn’t even get on stage.She’s fat n “gbufti”.Silverbird is losing it man! After all said.Congratulations to all d winners,it wasn’t easy,however the case might have been.Better make d most of it.and somebody tell those guys to stop selling their crown for cash or kind,*wink*.
Congrats! Though too old. How is she going to contest at the internation level with her age? Definitely she may feel out of place.
My dear, we all love u n ur winning spirit, keep on, ur best is yet to come. Though, u r almost close to ur best. Keep winning.
My dear, we all love u n ur winning spirit. Ur best is yet to come keep on. Though is close to ur cornner, keep winning.
Oh please! Who doesn’t know she bought the crown, in kind or cash? She most certainly did. Besides the fact that she’s obviously lying about her age, she’s contested twice before in this same pageant and there were way finer girls.
is obvious she bought d crown. gush! she is so old to be crown d mbgn.
is ur time 2 shine girl,dnt mind wht pple says,besides age na num.so move on,may d gud God guide u.
it’s obvious it ws nt a fair competition,corruption at al straters in 9ja.congrats gal 4 a crown wel bought
Dear Isabella, How many people did you have to service to win this crown?
Congrats.Enjoy ur reign.
It is obvious dt something was definitely not right about d contest, did d rubberstamp judges or silverbird think that Nigerians are so stupid not to notice that. Well, congrats Isabella, u did ur homework well dis time & u got d desired result at d expence of more deserving girls.
This girl finished from FGC Ikom in year 2000,then calculate and tell me how old she should be now..she is an old cargo plus she’s got a big size…wrongest decision
u guys r all haters,thats wat u all are.whether or nt she bot the crown in cash or kind,hows that suppose to affect u guys.if u have wat it takes,go and buy yours and stop hating.afterall do we knw wat other past queens did to get the crown. haters,if u can go for it,
Congrats isabella, people say age is just a number which is true but I think for a competition like dis 25yrs just isn’t it. Yes you won MBGN but with this age you will definately feel out of place at miss world competition. Silverbird can still do better though, All the best isabella at the miss world competition.
Na wao naija babes D̶̲̥̅̊ε̲̣̣̣̥γ̲̣̣̥ desperate sha, which pride do U̶̲̥̅̊ still av Τ̅☺ enjoy ur reign after all dis people say about u, was †ђξ crown rili worth bribing for?? I believe in victory with prestige.

It doesn’t mata wat U̶̲̥̅̊ guys say.she has won it and deres nthn ur statement can do abt it.meanwhile Ifeoma (miss abuja)U̶̲̥̅̊ r d bomb…
Isabella…u re a very dertermined gal…as 4 dose dat says shes old..pls learn abt d pageantry rules…u must nt be 26 b4 winning…u must be 25…,and dats wat she is..if u dnt lyk it..go and hug transformer..love u gal..
Bad belle people let me tell u people wat stupid people like u did not understand. 1. Bella got dis crown by vote. I bought 3k card 2 vote 4 her likewise my senior brother wit 5k card. How many tym did u vote 4 ur cargo girlz? I need ansa plz. 2. Bella is a tru native of cross river. Is Ifeoma a native of Abuja or Nkechi a Lagosian name? Dis is wat was considered. 3. She ansa her question correctly, her ongoing NGO project which also contributed 2 d devopment of d nation. Imagine how 1 of contestant said she will use d money 2 open a 1st class boutique if she won d crown wen she was interview by press.
Go gal enjoy ur crown and dont listen to side talks.they are jealous of ur crown.congrats
I call you queen cos you are one even without a crown.the sky is your footstool.i know you’ll surprise these “bad belles” in china.CONGRATULATIONS
