“The grand finale took place at the Federal Palace Hotel in Victoria Island, Lagos, where 37 contestants from across Nigeria competed for the top spot.
“Raimi, a University of Port Harcourt graduate, is passionate about humanitarian services and founded ‘The Love for Humanity’ project, dedicated to spreading love and restoring faith in humanity.”
He noted that during the final round, Raimi revealed that growing up without a mother and facing constant bullying from her caregiver shaped her resilience.
“In the final round, Raimi faced off against Miss Imo, Miss Ebonyi, Miss Abuja, and Miss Abia.
“When asked about overcoming bullying, she shared her inspiring story of growing up without a mother and facing harassment from her caregiver.
“She emphasized that despite being told she would never amount to anything, she has proven otherwise by achieving this milestone,” he wrote.
As Miss World Nigeria 2025, Raimi will represent Nigeria at the 72nd Miss World pageant in Hyderabad, India, from May 7 to 31, where she will compete against contestants from 140 countries. (Punch)
