This comes as another very exciting news from the organisers of Queen Moremi Ajasoro Pageant “QMA 2017”.
While the registration has received a major boost by virtue of the fact that registration for participation is “FREE” for all, the “prizes” to be won by the “eventual winner” and runners up has also been the reason for the avalanche of enquiries about participation.
The winner of the upcoming 2nd edition of the new improved “biggest Cultural pageant in Nigeria”, would cart home a whooping- ₦5,000,000 Naira (Five million Naira) in grant and support to build up her own desired business. If not for anything, that alone is serious “economic empowerment” like never known and experienced before.
And not just that alone, she would also be aided by experts provided by the organisers to make sure that the business initiative also succeeds and becomes a profitable venture.
The ₦5 million Naira, would come from the “QMA Impact Investment Fund for Women”, which would be a basic highlight at the grand finale of the pageant come November 2017.
The ₦5 million Naira is not just it all, the lucky queen would also drive home a brand new car. What a lucky girl she would be indeed! That’s not all though, as she would also have to herself, a year load of designer apparels to wear all through her reign, all of these things to make her stand out amongst others at all times.
This luckiest of winners yet, would become a “Cultural Ambassador” of the great “Adimula” and “Arole Odua”, His Imperial Majesty, the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Enitan Babatunde Ogunwusi, the Ojaja II, who is the most important, most revered of the Yoruba monarchs in the world, by virtue of his stool and ancestry.
As an ambassador of the Ooni Adimula, the Queen Moremi Ajasoro Pageant winner, would be a member of the “King’s entourage” on “his tours around the world”, helping to propagate the Ooni’s message of peace, togetherness, inclusiveness and love for all mankind.
Olori (Queen) Moremi Ajasoro, the inspiration behind the QMA, was a very beautiful and intelligent heroine, who used her gifts of “beauty, charm and intelligence” to rescue her people from sure slavery and death.
So the one that must wear the crown as the “new QMA 2017”, must possess exemplary qualities like intelligence, beauty, charm and grace too.

Davido advises black Americans not to relocate to Nigeria, says ‘the economy is in shambles’
Davido, the Afrobeats star, has advised black Americans against relocating to Nigeria, citing the country’s economic challenges.
In an appearance on The Big Homies House podcast, the singer shared his thoughts on the struggles bedeviling Nigeria, stating, “It is not cool back home. The economy is in shambles”.
Davido also mentioned Nigeria’s struggles with bad leadership, a high exchange rate, and skyrocketing oil prices, which are negatively impacting the country.
“It is not cool back home. The economy is in shambles. I do my part, I am an ambassador. When I go home and I am filming, I am no going to show the bad parts,” he said.
“I am talking about the situation in the country. Now the exchange rate is messed up, a lot of stuffs are not going well.
“The economy is just not good enough. The oil price is too high. Imagine the country that produces oil, paying more for it than a country importing oil.”
Despite the challenges, Davido emphasised the entertainment industry’s positive impact on Africa’s global image.
“Regardless, entertainment is one of the thing that has made Africa look good. We do not have the best leader, that is a fact,” he said.

US actor Jussie Smollett’s conviction for staged attack overturned
American actor, Jussie Smollett’s conviction for fabricating a racist and homophobic hate crime in Chicago in 2019 was overturned Thursday on due process grounds.
The Illinois Supreme Court ruled that Smollett, 42, should not have been charged again by prosecutors after a prior agreement saw over a dozen original charges dismissed.
It is the latest twist in Smollett’s legal saga, which began with his initial claim in January 2019 that he had been attacked on a Chicago street.
The gay African-American actor, then a cast member of the hit TV series “Empire,” said two masked men assaulted him late at night, shouting slurs and placing a noose around his neck.
Smollett staged the attack after receiving a legitimate piece of hate mail which he felt was not taken seriously by his employers, prosecutors said.
But those charges were suddenly dropped in March 2019, under an arrangement in which Smollett forfeited his $10,000 bond and agreed to do community service.
The dismissal was met with anger by some city officials, including then-mayor Rahm Emanuel, who argued $10,000 was only a fraction of the actual investigation costs.
A special prosecutor eventually took over the case and several charges were reinstated.
Smollett, who has always maintained his innocence, was found guilty in December 2021.
Though he was sentenced to 150 days in prison with 30 months on probation, he was released pending the outcome of his appeal.
He was also ordered to repay $120,106 to the Chicago Police to cover their investigation costs.
The case had initially sent shock waves through a deeply divided country still plagued by racial and sexual discrimination, and the actor had immediately received support from celebrities in political and cultural circles.
The Illinois Supreme Court ruling said that bringing the charges a second time after “the defendant has performed his part of the bargain” represented “a due process violation.”
“We therefore reverse (the) defendant’s conviction,” the ruling said.
