The finals for the Miss World 2005 Beauty Pageant will take place in December. Our girl is Omowunmi Akinnifesi, who was born 19 years ago in Lagos, brought up in Sierra Leone, and now lives in Lagos, Nigeria.

At High School she won first prize in a Fine Art Competition, she is now a student and her future ambition is to be a National Geographer. She enjoys drawing, dancing and volleyball; has a pet dog called Fussy; her favourite music is hip hop and rock, and favourite food is spaghetti and meat balls. Omowunmi’s motto is "Forward ever, backward never" (so she claims )

Last year, she was interviewed by the Vanguard Newspapers after beating 25 girls to become the 18th Most Beautiful Girl in Nigeria. The interview is available here. You can also view her official Miss World 2005 profile and interview.

Are going to watch the finals of the Miss World 2005 competition? Are you going to vote for our Omowunmi? Please do, she's a Nigerian and I think she's beautiful enough to win (check out the photos above). What do you think?

Oops, I forgot to mention that if you don't like her we do not want your opinion. Thank you!

she <snip>

she's cool and all but i dont think she'll make the cut.

She's cute. I pray she wins.

DANG she is on fire

so we can vote?? Okay now... let's make Nigeria win again! Oya people VOTE!!!!!!!!

she aint too bad... i believe there r more deserving girls out there but hey.. since they didnt come out then we shld support her.. for nigeria's sake//  ..she could just make it u know

i don't think she's going to win. but hey, i'm pessimistic!

Come on, she has the proportions, especially height, a nice face, and she knows how to shine her teeth. What more do you want in a Miss World. I can definitely imagine her as the Miss World.

What is not cute about her? Is it because she doesn't have a big head like Darego and co?

About voting: Nigerians at home may not be able to vote in this competition, because:
- Phone voting is available in only a few countries and Nigeria is not included.
- Web voting requires a $1 fee per vote and the average Nigerian doesn't have a credit card.

However, it is also true that many of us on this forum are in the US, UK, or other European countries and may be able to vote by phone or via the Internet. Let me send in more details.

Crap.. i have to pay!

even USA is not on the list! Which means i can't vote by SMS.

see i voted for 2face lawd knws how many times ......because it was free. she's preedi n all but i aint paying  
goodluck to her still

I ain't paying to vote either. Bahh i would love to see her win. She looks like "world peace" material.

The phone voting instructions will be available later in the month. Online voting seems to be working but I'll advice you to wait until the finals start.

what if she doesn't get to the finals?

She's already in the finals. They have just not started yet.

oh i see.

that is Black Beauty , boy i beat them joint

she is preeeeeeeeeety.. very cute

are you kidding me , i wish this forum Admin would let me analyse the girl , she good, really really good

she's beautiful, got a really nice smile. i have to pay to vote for her i ain't got the cash for that, but i can pray for her.

well i guess since we r paying and we broke...... all thos in favour of praying 4 her .......

pray for her. nice one scorpio. whats going on girl?

->seun, wonder why u slashed my post. i wasn't breaking any nairaland rules. was just stating my opinion that there are better girls.

Me thinks she is pretty...but is she pretty enough to win the Miss World title, I don't think so. She has a nice body and complexion but she's a lil chubby in my own opinion. There's nothing really striking about her. Again, my own opinion. That said, I will be happy if she wins...good representation for Nigeria.

Chubby ke? She has meat.. she's not all bone. She's cute like this oo.

shes so cute

@ Seun..

What are her statistics ??

Somebody tell me,
      is that her hair?

she's ok!   

i want her to win. she's my husband's first cousin. she's a very nice gal! please guys, vote for her.

In that case, can we have more of her pictures so we can evaluate her properly?

@ seun.bad boy. u have enough pictures already,they will do. do u know what?they used to call her queen since she was a baby. there is power in the tongue!!!
