Contestant 1 Mimzy Mimzy is in her early twenties currently running a part-time H.N.D programme (Business Administration and Management) in Yaba College of Technology. She also works as an Account Executive & Administrative Officer in a Law Firm in Lagos State. She hails from Lagos Island in Lagos State, Offin area. She enjoys any meal of bread and her hobbies are reading, swimming and experimenting in the kitchen (she even follows several food blogs, Dooney's kitchen being her favourite). Her role models are God and her mum. When asked what friends and family will describe her as, she said, "I had to ask two friends and one relative to describe me bluntly so I could get an unbiased description of me and here is what they said. Friend 1 - "Aramide, I think you're considerate, loyal, trusting and sensitive with a balanced sense of judgement" Friend 2 - "Ermmm..okk. I would like to describe you as a very straight forward person who likes to take things in her stride in a very level headed manner. Life is quite exciting to you as it has galores of opportunities and experiences to offer and you feel one should always make the right use of it. You are adventurous by nature for you like to take up new challenges. It gives you the zeal and impetus to work towards excellence. One thing you firmly believe in is that one should always strive towards individual betterment, in whichever form it may be. Therefore you are never tired of beginning where others end". My sister - "You are one very troublesome girl with a good sense of humour, fun to be with and very emotional at the same time" On the thing that makes her different, she said, "I will refer to my favorite quote in response to this question... I will not say I am different from the others but I will say that I have constantly tried to be myself even amidst pressures to be who I am not and that makes me outstanding" Her favourite quoteis that of Ralph Waldo Emerson who said: “To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.” She believes she deserves to be crowned Miss Nairaland, because, "I believe in teamwork and that everyone, no matter how seemingly detached from the ongoings are, brings something unique to the table and hence, they should be consulted. This is one of the reasons why I opined during the campaign that EVERYONE IS MIMZY'S CAMPAIGN MANAGER. To Mimzy, everyone is important. I see values in people and how they can be harnessed. I see rich values In Nigeria's diversity and how we can use them to positively turn around the current animosity that exist. I'm daring as well as adventurous and I can boldly represent this forum when service calls. My persona wouldn't change even when I win the competition. I'd always be the open, friendly, rational yet opinionated Mimzy everyone knows. I am confident in my own skin and I believe in the dignity of female folks. I am as real as can be. I am for One Nigeria, One Nairaland". 167 Likes 47 Shares

Contestant 3 MissGdope MissGdope is an 18 year old A-level student at Gower College Swansea. She hails from Edo state, Esan tribe from Irrua and she grew up in Benin City. Her favorite meal is Jollof rice and chicken and her hobbies are playing tennis, cooking (trying out new recipes) and singing. Her role model is her mum, "She's been through a lot in life and is such a strong and beautiful woman. I wish I could be like her someday" "My siblings would probably describe me as a nice, caring sister but also strict as I want them to become the best they can be". She thinks what makes her different is that she likes to put herself in other people's shoes. She tries to see from their perspective and understand their reasons for their actions. Her favorite quote is from the Bible. "All things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them". In her own words, "i love this quote because it forces me to think twice before I do or say anything to anyone. It makes me think about how I would feel if someone said or did the same to me". She wants to be crowned Miss Nairaland because, "I'm passionate about Nigeria. I'm incredibly Nigerian and I hope that one day we will have good leaders who will lead Nigeria to the greatness it deserves. Also, I want to add that I'm so happy about Nairaland. It's one of the few things that have kept me in touch with all things Nigeria. 56 Likes 17 Shares

Contestant 4 Lanicky Lanicky is an undergraduate at Adeyemi University of education, Ondo state. She is a native of Ondo west local government of Ondo state. Her favourite food is hot Pounded yam with melon soup. Her hobbies are writing poems and long stories. I also love dancing and composing songs and her mum happens to be her only and most respected role model. “A friend will describe me as a cheerful and generous lady, while a relative will describe me as hardworking and easy going lady. I do not give up easily, no matter the trials that I encounter on my way to success..I stay focused. And also I do not do things that I don't like or enjoy just to be accepted by anyone. I remain who I am, because artificiality never earns people either love or lasting respect. *smiles* This is what makes me different from others.” Her favourite quote is, “Do not give up when you fall once, rise up again, continue your journey to success with your head up high and a victorious smile on your face.” A quote by her. “Well, to be crowned MISS NAIRALAND beauty and intelligence are of utmost importance and I believe I was marvellously made by God and I am beautiful in every sense. I know this because I feel confident with myself and those around me do not fail to mention it. Aside from that I believe myself to be intelligent, self-conscious and friendly. All of which are characteristics a Miss Nairaland should have. She must be able to reply comments wittily, act properly, postively and in accordance with Nairaland rules and so be able to relate with every person she comes in contact with on Nairaland as amicably and as diplomatic as possible. I have all these attributes. I also participated in the 2014 edition but couldn't make it to the finals. I have learned from my mistakes, I do not give up in my quest and for these reasons, I believe this is why I deserve to be Miss Nairaland 2016.” 125 Likes 33 Shares
