Not only is she beautiful, she’s also down to earth. Stunning and
current Most Beautiful Girl In Nigeria, Anna Banner sat with NET in a
chat where she revealed loads about herself, plus her relationship
status and how she lost the Miss World beauty pageant. Excerpt:
How was the ‘Miss World’ experience?
Miss World was fantastic, awesome and off the hook, and also annoying
especially because it was a coming together of girls of different races
and orientations, and everyone had different behaviours that could be
annoying and hard to relate with. But I was able to relate more with
contestants from Indonesia, India, Guam, Jamaica, Belize, Bahamas,
Ghana, Zambia and South Sudan.
I was friends with those people and we really had a blast. We didn’t really see it as a
competition but as a fun experience.
What would you attribute to your failure to at least make the top 10 list at the pageant?
I don’t know what exactly, but I know I did my best. Another thing
that might have contributed was that before Miss World, I was sick, so I
didn’t really have much time to prepare. I fell ill around the middle
of August and Miss World was September 3rd. I was down with Malaria, and
was in the hospital for like five days. After I came out of the
hospital, I had to rest for a further one week, so I had little time to
get the things I needed for the pageant. You are expected to bring
traditional costumes, flag, historic books and so many requirements that
I needed to take, but my illness prevented me from going fully
prepared. But I thank God for everything.
And when asked whether she plans to remain single she said:
“Why should I plan to remain single? I am single for now but I don’t
plan to remain single. When I have a boyfriend, everybody will know.”
