Miss Nigeria UK

Miss Nigeria UK formerly known as Mr. And Miss Nigeria UK is a cultural pageant event that is usually organized annually to expose the culture of the Nigerian nation in the diaspora.

The 2024 Miss Nigeria UK beauty contest Grande Finale will likely take place in November at Wyndham Palace, New York Street, London, and is being presented by Vir2uous Limited.

The event takes place in commemoration of Nigeria’s Independence and is aimed at empowering and enriching the Nigerian culture in the UK and unite British born and raised Nigerians with their heritage

This unique event is not celebrated just to entertain the people but also to inculcate the various cultures of the country to Nigerians born and brought up in the United Kingdom.

This colorful event is also celebrated to show strong support within the British-Nigerian community by integrating people through several cultural activities of Miss Nigeria UK.

It is a trend that winners of Miss Nigeria UK will carry out a humanitarian assignment in form of charity. This is done to give hope to the poor, sick, less-privileged, and other vulnerable persons in society.

This unique event always witnesses a large turnout of people during the grand finale, where the winners, one male, and one female to be crowned will be revealed by the panel of judges.

Also, the 1st runner(s) up and 2nd runner(s) up will be awarded accordingly and the contestants will be judged based on their poise, communication, personality, walk, talent, and question answering.

MISSION: To expose the rich cultural heritage of Nigeria to the world especially Nigerians born and brought up in the United Kingdom.
