‘Ladies too can have rice farms, why not?’
One beauty queen who insists that
being a beauty queen is not just about wearing a crown and sash is Queen Siaka Nimat, the Miss Curvy Nigeria, Tourism, 2015. She is one black beauty who feels it in her bones that time waits for no queen, hence she has never relented working, striving and making efforts to touch lives. She knows that there is what is called tenure in the life of a beauty queen.
Once you are crowned a beauty
queen, your tenure clock starts to tick. “This means that one needs to fulfill all that she has promised to do. A beauty queen is not supposed to give empty promises concerning her pet projects.
One full term (tenure) is enough time to do something. Reason is that even if you give a lazy beauty queen five years or more, she wouldn’t still be able to do something.
“So, I would never relent working, knowing that October this year,
another Miss Curvy Nigeria, Tourism
would be crowned. I wouldn’t want
my face to appear on the list/roll call
of beauty queens who couldn’t use
their platform wisely,” stressed.
Little wonder on the 8th of January,
this stunning beauty was spotted at
Ubandoma village, in Bida, Niger state not for glamorous event but to work for humanity. “I went for a program which was sponsored by the United Nations but linked in through the Federal Ministry of Agriculture.
It’s tagged Sawah Eco-Technology For Rice Farming. SAWAH means surest way to rice transformation agenda. The platform is geared at structuring and restructuring rice intensification in Nigeria, to impact in various rice farming localities in Nigeria,” she enthused.
Did you ask why she indulged herself
in such a tedious work? “Well, part of
my project is to help empower and be
a part of any structure that brings
about positive change in my society. As this is part of vision and mission of Miss Curvy Nigeria, I had to do it. I must tell you that indeed it was hectic, believe me. I was the only lady among about 30 men and many other rice farmers,” she said, as a matter of fact.
Here are some shots she took with farmers and some youths there, including children. “They really loved my reception and I shared sugar cane
with them too,” she giggled.
Wonder what she gained from the program? “With this program, I have
been able to inspire and encourage
many youths and particularly ladies
who think they can’t have a rice farm.
