Miss Universe Nigeria: What’s Happening Right Now?
If you love beauty pageants, you’ve probably heard the name Miss Universe Nigeria. It’s the national competition that picks the woman who will represent Nigeria on the global Miss Universe stage. Over the years the pageant has produced icons like Oluchi Uche Ajunwa and Dibisola Olowu, and each edition brings fresh faces, new excitement, and a lot of buzz.
Today, the biggest talk on our site is around the upcoming 2025 edition. Organisers announced the audition dates last month, and several regional qualifiers are already under way. That means you can start following the hopefuls from Lagos, Abuja, Port Harcourt, and other states before the final night. The pageant isn’t just about looks – contestants are judged on public speaking, community work, and how they handle the interview segment.
How to Follow the Contestants
Want to keep track of the contestants you like? The easiest way is to check the official Miss Universe Nigeria Instagram and Facebook pages. They post daily updates, behind‑the‑scenes videos, and short bios for each participant. You can also sign up for the BassaNova newsletter – we send a quick roundup of the most talked‑about moments, like the talent rounds and the national costume showcase.
If you prefer video, the audition clips are uploaded to YouTube every Thursday. Watching them lets you see how each candidate answers the interview questions and presents her platform. Many of them focus on education, women’s empowerment, or climate issues – topics that resonate with a lot of Nigerians.
What to Expect at the Grand Finale
The final night usually takes place in a big arena in Lagos and is streamed live on local TV and online. Expect three main segments: the evening gown, the swimsuit (or an alternative athletic wear, depending on the year's theme), and the final interview. The judges are a mix of former beauty queens, fashion designers, and media personalities.
After the crowns are handed out, the winner will spend the next year traveling across Nigeria for charity events, meeting sponsors, and preparing for the Miss Universe competition later in the year. Past winners have used the platform to launch modeling contracts, start NGOs, or even run for political office.
