Joy Mojisola Raimi, the reigning Miss Osun, has been crowned Miss World Nigeria 2025.
The grand finale took place at the Federal Palace Hotel in Victoria Island, Lagos, on Friday evening, where 37 contestants from across Nigeria competed for the top spot.
The contestants showcased their elegance in various attire, including native dresses and sports wear.
The competition narrowed down to 20 finalists, featuring notable contestants like Oluwatoyin Ibitoye (Miss Kogi), Shelly Usman (Miss Imo), and Mmesoma Anosike (Miss Adamawa).
In the final round, Raimi faced off against Miss Imo, Miss Ebonyi, Miss Abuja, and Miss Abia.
When asked about overcoming bullying, Raimi shared her inspiring story of growing up without a mother and facing harassment from her caregiver.
“As a child who grew up without a mother, I was intimidated and harassed by my caregiver who was supposed to stand in as my mother,” she said.
“She told me I would never amount to anything. But I am here today on this world stage doing what I know how to do best. And all I can say is whatever God has destined you to be, nobody can say otherwise.”
