The official Mr & Miss Nigeria UK Cultural Pageant took place on Sunday 4th October 2015 in the amazing venue 229 The Venue in Great Portland Street. The Mr & Miss Nigeria UK pageant and showcase was scheduled to take place in the month of October as it involves the celebration of the Nigerian Independence. The overall aim of this Pageant is too empower and enrich the Nigerian culture in the UK.
Mr & Miss Nigeria UK was full of energy, charisma and vibrant contestant and the team were proud of all efforts that each and everyone one of them put in. As this show aims to help further develop Nigeria and bring awareness to its underlining issues, and will serve to connect British born and raised Nigerians with their heritage back home we believe that this was achieved with the pure culture that was displayed at the show.
