A Nigerian, Samuel Nwajaju, became the first African to win the Mister International pageant at the 16th edition of the pageant in Bangkok, Thailand, yesterday.
Established in 2006 by the late Alan Sim, the former president and founder, Mister International is one of the world’s largest male pageants, second only to Mister World in terms of national-level competitions.
The Singapore-based organisation has grown to attract participants from over 80 countries, with an annual average of 38 contestants.
For the first time in 16 years, the Mister International Organisation allowed fathers, married, and divorced men to compete.
Mr Nwajaju, a 23-year-old model and University of Port Harcourt undergraduate who also won the Best Swimwear category, secured the title by competing against 47 other contestants, the highest number in the pageant’s history.
He succeeds Kim Thitisan Goodburn of Thailand, defeating formidable competitors, including Vietnam’s Nguyễn Mạnh Lân, who was placed as first runner-up and Indonesia’s Glenn Victor Sutanto, who was placed second runner-up, according to Premium Times.
Nwajaju secured his place in this year’s competition in June by winning the Mister of Nigeria 2024 title during a grand event at the Lagos Oriental Hotel.
Although the specific cash prize or award for the Mister International competition is not explicitly disclosed, winners enjoy various forms of recognition, such as sponsorships, endorsements, and opportunities to collaborate with global brands and organisations.
Additionally, the titleholder participates in charitable and promotional events worldwide during their reign.
The pageant licenses local organisations that wish to select the Mister International contestant for their country and approves the selection method for national contestants.
Nollywood actress and media personality, Omotunde Adebowale-David aka Lolo1, has opened up about her unique preferences for men.
In a recent interview with Oyinmomo TV, the 47-year-old described her taste as “very weird,” explaining her attraction to younger men with distinctive style choices.
She said: “My taste in men is very weird. I like young people; I don’t like old people. I like men with long hair and earrings. I just like someone who is visually appealing. Gone are the days when you were looking for a God-fearing man. Are you even God-fearing yourself?”
“My taste in men is in a class of its own. It’s not because I act like a broke woman; I’m very bougie. I like good things. Any man that isn’t Eurocentric, I’ll find it difficult to connect with because I’m a fine dining girl. You won’t catch me on a date at Amala spot.”
According to the actress, any potential suitor who wants to court her must be well-traveled and exposed to different lifestyles.
“To court someone like me, you must be well-travelled and understand diverse lifestyles. That way, I don’t have to spend time explaining what I want or need,” she concluded.
Despite her specific preferences, the mother of four shared that she remains open to love and would consider a relationship if the right person comes along.
In a 2023 interview with Television Continental (TVC), Lolo1 revealed why her marriage ended.
At the time, she said: “For me, life happened. A lot of times, people go into marriage with only a little understanding of what they’re getting into. They don’t have a clear picture, and unfortunately, their lives unfold during the marriage, making it a make-or-mar situation. I think that’s what happened to me.”
Forbes has named American rapper, Sean Carter aka Jay-Z, as the greatest rapper of all time.
The publication recently released its 50 Greatest Rappers of All Time list, celebrating the best in the hip-hop world.
Jay-Z topped the list, followed by Kendrick Lamar, Lil Wayne, J. Cole, and Tupac at numbers 2, 3, 4, and 5, respectively.
