Miss Security Nigeria: Contestants, Brand Sponsors Invited As Entry Opens
The biggest advocacy initiative on security in Nigeria where beauty meets intelligence and public reorientation, Miss Security Nigeria is now officially open for entries to all beauty queens aged 18 – 27. This important information was revealed to the public by the MSN organizing committee of McKingss Media.
Miss Security Nigeria beauty pageant (MSN) aims to foster security and prosperity in Nigeria by engaging the energy, insight, and enthusiasm of upwardly mobile Nigerian young females. It is also an avenue to promote girl-child advocacy, enhance enterprise and innovation among women and girls, facilitate arts, culture, and tourism.
The explosive and thrilling pageantry which will be down to 24 beautiful, innovative, intelligent, and resilient ladies battling for the royal crown will see each contestant represent a security agency. Registration opens at the official Website portal; (www.misssecuritynigeria.com). They stand to win rewards such as the grand prize of official car, cash prize, one-week foreign trip, endorsement deals, home appliances, ICT equipment, one-year clothing and beauty products, and consolation prizes.
On the reason for the enterprising project, the committee enunciated: ‘Enduring security within and outside the shores of the 923,768 sq.km. federation named Nigeria is a great source of concern. This is why all her military and paramilitary services are involved in one peace effort, crime-busting activity, law-enforcing engagement, or another. However, they often require the support of the civilian population. This may come in form of providing intel, giving social assistance to the men and officers on the field, and also to their families at home.
Another aspect in which the civilian population can support security efforts is enlightenment. The citizenry need to be well-informed about the values, principles and practices upon which security is built. This is the essence of Miss Security Nigeria.’
They called on banks and other financial institutions, telecoms companies, beauty brands, couture and clothing lines, insurance companies, beverage drinks brand companies, private security outfits, military and paramilitary agencies, government bodies, and other brands to support the initiative with partnerships, sponsorships, advert placements, and other forms of support. They promised the brands and organizations extensive mileage across the conventional and digital media, opportunity to brand the locations of the event including the grand finale venue, and to have the ladies be their brand models.
The entries for application starts Saturday 3rd July – Monday 23rd August, 2021.

Nollywood actress Regina Daniels has said she is no longer interested in getting married again following her separation from her estranged husband, Senator Ned Nwoko, but remains determined to have a daughter.
The actress made the remarks during a livestream session with TikToker Jarvis at her Children’s Day carnival held in Asaba, Delta State.
Speaking on her current outlook on relationships and motherhood, Daniels said she has mentally moved away from the idea of marriage.
“But for some reason, I’ve checked my mind out of getting married. I’m yet to have a girl. And I must have a girl,” she said.
The mother of two explained that her desire for a daughter comes from what she described as the unique emotional bond between mothers and female children.
“I feel like motherhood starts better. Like you would understand motherhood when you have a girl child,” she said.
“So, having boys is easy because at least you can groom them to have a role model in a father figure. But for your girl child, you have to be that role model for them to emulate.”
Daniels also revealed that she initially never wanted a daughter before becoming a mother.
“Before I had my first son, I said no, never. I will never have a girl child. Never, ever. But after my first, after my second, I remember, for some reason, it’s female kids that remember,” she added.
Reflecting further on family dynamics, the actress said women tend to maintain stronger emotional ties to their homes than men.
“Men will grow, get married and focus more on building family. But for women, she will always remember home,” she said.
Daniels married Nwoko in 2019, a union that drew widespread attention because of their age difference. The couple share two sons.
Their relationship later became publicly strained in 2025 following allegations by Nwoko that the actress was battling substance abuse and required rehabilitation.
Daniels denied the claims and accused the senator of manipulation, psychological control and abuse before eventually leaving the marriage and moving into her own residence.

Nollywood actress and filmmaker, Genevieve Nnaji, is making her return to television in “Wahala”, a new six-part drama produced by BBC Studios.
The series is based on the novel “Wahala” by Nikki May and will air on BBC One, with episodes also available on BBC iPlayer.
It is adapted for television by BAFTA-nominated writer, Theresa Ikoko.
BBC confirmed the cast on Tuesday, announcing a female-led ensemble that includes Adelayo Adedayo, Deborah Ayorinde, Cush Jumbo, and Susan Wokoma, alongside Nnaji.
Set in London, Wahala follows four Nigerian-British women whose close friendship is tested as they navigate work, relationships, and family life. Their lives begin to shift when hidden secrets from the past resurface, bringing betrayal and tension to the surface.
Speaking about the project, Nnaji said: “I’m very happy to be joining Wahala and to be working with such a brilliant team. It’s an intriguing story, and I’m excited to be a part of it.”
