Congratulations on emerging Miss Nigeria Queen World, how does this makes you feel?
I feel so happy
What would you say stood you out from other contestants?
My charisma and the way I make everyone one and how everyone could feel so good and comfortable around me. My hardwork and how I’m determined to learn more.
What are the challenges you faced during the contest and how did you overcome them?
I would say the challenges I faced was finance. Being the first person to purchase the Miss Nigeria Queen World registration form knowing fully well that I had no sponsors. But I was able to overcome them with the help of my loved ones. My family, friends and with the help of some of my social media fans alongside with some of the beauty Queens that I have known before.
How did your journey in pageant begin?
I would say it begins with the passion that I had for modeling. My passion for modeling pushed me to start a journey in pageantry and to me I would always say to myself that modeling is passion or it’s either nothing cause when you don’t have that passion for modeling, you won’t be able to push through with some of the ups and down. So my passion for it made me start my pageantry journey.

How has winning this crown changed your life?
Winning this crown didn’t just change my life alone. It also did changed my name. This was me being called Trust but currently now I’m mostly been called Queen Trust and I with the way people treat me differently with excess love plus I even got opportune to sign up a big contract deal with my boss @radiantskincarebeauty that I’m currently working with as their brand ambassador.
Your biggest achievement in modeling so far?
My biggest achievement in modeling so far is me having publicity and also getting a brand management’s.
What’s your dream modeling job?
My dream modeling job is to be a brand influencer.
How did you intend to use this your new office to make impact in the society?
I will use my new office to be a source of hope and inspiration to everyone around me especially to the Nigerian Youths. I will also use my new office to host a small youth empowerment program for youths so as to enlighten them on the benefits of self handwork where some of the various items relating to their choice of handwork would be given to them.
‘How did your family and friends reacted to your winning?
Infact they were so very happy. Cause at first they never thought it would have been a free and fair election so they used to have this doubt of me not winning the crown and especially my mom that never liked modeling as a whole as a career, she was the most happiest amongst all of them when I was announced as the winner on stage.
Which brand are you interested to work with?
There are lots of incredible brands that I would love to work with but I’m open to any brands who wants to use me for any kinds of collaborations and also to those brands who wants me to be their brand influencers (ambassador).
Your favorite photographer and why?
Nadon.klinton.
Why is because he’s literally so good at what he does and since I have worked with him before, I would say I really love the way hecould be so funny to make you smile while shooting and at the same time how he could be so good to take nicely photos and also the way he makes sure that your pictures would come out looking really nice.
Do you have any mentor in pageantry, who and why?
Damilola Bolarinde
And why is because she was the first pageant girl video that I watched while she was on stage contestanting for the miss grand Nigeria 2022 and I was like wow cause with her attitude and her charisma itself made me fell in love with pageantry totally without even meeting her at all or being convinced by her but with everything she does I jst wanted to be like her. Mostly with the way she smiles and how she literally does put everything together to come out looking so nice. Infact I would say she’s my first love in pageantry and till date and I’m still hoping to meet her soon face to face as my role model because I’m still working hard in my pageantry life just to be more like her.
If you are giving the chance to change one thing in pageantry, what would that be?
f I’m been given the chance to change one thing in pageantry, I would change the fact that most people out there see’s pageant girls as prostitutes because pageantry is not a forum of prostituting.

Where do you see yourself in the next five years?
In the next five years, i see myself to be the model that I have always dreamt of. A fashion icon, a role model to other pageantry girls and to other people out there and an inspiration to others in the modeling industry. Hopefully I see myself achieving a lot by God’s grace.
