The twenty-one car strong convoy, embarked on a tour of Lagos’ suburbs, taking off from Geely Nigeria’s flagship showroom on Adeola Odeku, Victoria Island and passing through pertinent locations like the home of Silverbird (MBGN’s organizers)- on Ahmadu Bello way and Eko Hotel and Suites, (the venue for the crowning event) on Adetokunbo Ademola, Victoria Island.
The convoy of Geely cars featured all three models in Geely Nigeria’s current lineup: the iconic Emgrand 7, the X7 Sport SUV and the recently launched Coolray crossover SUV.
Following a successful motorcade parade, the MBGN contestants were hosted to a day of music, games and fun at Moist Beach club, Victoria Island by the Geely-Mikano team. The beach event was graced by entertainment industry favourites and friends of the Geely-Mikano family, including, Don Jazzy, rave of the moment- Ayra Starr, comedian- Sydney Talker, Cubana chief priest, Guy Murray Bruce; President Silverbird Group, amongst others. The girls, who were split into four teams, representing features of Geely cars; Safety, Hi-Tech, Power and Design, engaged in various team activities, including a volleyball tournament.
The culmination of the two days of fun was ultimately fulfilled on the 18th of September at the Convention Centre, Eko Hotel and Suites, when Miss Abuja, Oluchi Madubuike; a certified nursing practitioner was crowned the MBGN 2021 and also the holder of the title- Miss World Nigeria 2021. The MBGN queen was presented with the keys to a brand new Emgrand7 by Ralph Haidar, the National Sales and Brand Manager, Mikano (Motors Division).
Addressing contestants, Haidar reiterated Geely-Mikano’s commitment to supporting women empowerment in Nigeria.
