Winner of the 2018 beauty pageant in Ekiti State , Miss Bunmi Adegboyega , has said her environment has not encouraged her career in any way. In a chat with Saturday Beats, the beauty queen noted that her environment had been discouraging because of the belief by some people that ladies should ‘ use what they have , to get what they want ’ .
“People say ‘uneasy lies the head that wears the crown ’ . There were several hurdles , valleys and numerous hills to cross. Our environment has not been encouraging because of the wrong concept of ‘ use what you have to get what you want’ . Just few people are ready to help without demanding anything in return.
“Others have been so terrible, frustrating and destructive . My advice to all upcoming aspirants is to believe in self reliance . They should not dehumanise themselves to win. Just like my mentor used to tell me , ‘ soon , your day will surely come , ’” she said.
Adegboyega also said she would use her reign to impact people in all spheres of life .
“There are a lot of projects to be executed . Some are ongoing while some are to be launched soon . Basically , we have designed a platform to care for widows in the state , visitation and presentation of gifts to orphans , ongoing quiz competition , among secondary schools in the state to ensure the state remains the ‘ Home of the Elite, ’” she said.
