I'll like to highlight some of those I will briefly talk about:
- Mrs Okonjo Iweala
- Prof. Wole Soyinka
- Ms. Agbani Darego
In the year 2001, Agbani Darego of Nigeria was crowned the title of Miss world & this is the first time Nigeria won the title of Miss World. This has been so far a world record title, a ground breaking one and one as such that history can never forget.
- Agbani's Potential(s)
Asides from her beauty, she is loaded with intelligence, modesty, level of exposure, academic abilities, outstanding courage and so many other potentials that made her leave marks on the sands of time.
