About Agbani Darego
Darego was crowned the Most Beautiful Girl in Nigeria in 2001. Contrary to popular belief, she did not replace the winner, Valerie Peterside, after Peterside’s dethroning for age fraud. Instead, she retained her title of Most Beautiful Girl in Nigeria (“MBGN”) and went on to represent Nigeria at several international competitions.
At just 18 years old, she went on to compete at Miss Universe in 2001 and placed in the Top 10. Just a few months later, she represented the country at Miss World and took home the crown. She became the first native African to hold the title.
Shortly after her win, the Miss Nigeria organization filed a lawsuit claiming that Darego falsely misrepresented herself as Miss Nigeria. Due to her busy schedule as MBGN, she withdrew from the University of Port Harcot. The bad news didn’t last for long, however, Darego was awarded a national honor, MFR, from her country.
After her year of service, she moved to New York briefly where she signed with Ford Models and pursued her degree in psychology from New York University (NYU). Her modeling portfolio is quite impressive, as she’s modeled for brands such as Avon, Sephora, Target and Macy’s. She has also been featured in Elle, Cosmopolitan, Allure, Marie Claire and many more magazines. (Read: The Benefits of Modeling Skills in Pageantry)
Since her reign has ended, she’s stayed involved in pageantry and modeling in many different facets. She’s judged pageants and modeling contests. Most recently, she judged Miss World 2014. Darego even started her own style and fashion reality show on Nigerian television. She even has her own fashion line, AD by Agbani Darego, which includes dresses, jeans, sunglasses and more.
The former titleholder posted on her Instagram on April 9, 2017, about finally marrying her longtime love, Ishaya Danjuma. Danjuma is the son of former Minister of Defense, Theophilus Danjuma. The new Mr. and Mrs. Danjuma got married on April 8, 2017, in Marrakesh, Morocco.
We’re glad the couple is happy and wish them the very best for their marriage!
