Miss Mgbebu Cynthia Muna, an Ebonyi-born girl living in Anambra State, has tearfully appealed for recognition from the Ebonyi State government and the public after emerging as the winner of the South-East “Most Beautiful Girl” competition. Despite her victory, Muna expressed disappointment that she has not been celebrated like her counterparts who secured second and third positions in the just-concluded contest.
Speaking to our correspondent in Awka, Anambra State, Muna revealed that the two-week competition, held at the International Conference Center in Imo State, brought together young girls from the South-East and South-South regions. Her win, however, has gone unnoticed in her home state of Ebonyi.
During the interview, Muna shared her difficult upbringing and personal challenges. She called on the Ebonyi State government, non-governmental organizations, and well-meaning individuals to support and celebrate her achievement, emphasizing that other contestants had received recognition from their respective states.
“The Most Beautiful Girl competition is a platform aimed at encouraging and empowering young girls who have excelled academically and made meaningful contributions to society,” Muna explained.
A passionate advocate for humanitarian work, Muna expressed her desire to serve her community through education and social development. She described how her own struggles growing up in a broken home motivated her to pursue a better future.
“My father is from Ikwo, and my mother is from Izzi. My father rejected me at birth, and it has been difficult growing up,” she shared tearfully. “I was raised by my mother in her parents’ house, but after my father paid the bride price and my mother had more children, I was segregated from my siblings.”
Despite her hardships, Muna has managed to complete her West African Examination Council (WAEC) exams but now faces uncertainty about her future due to a lack of financial support.
“I am currently an apprentice in Awka, learning to sew men’s senator wears to support myself. I am trusting in God for His manifestation in my life.”
Muna urged the Ebonyi government to acknowledge her victory, as she proudly represented the state in the competition. She emphasized the importance of empowering and educating young girls and expressed her hope that her win would inspire others to invest in the girl child’s future.
“While filling the form for the competition, I represented Ebonyi State, and I came back victorious. I hope to be celebrated just like the other contestants from other states,” she said.
Muna’s heartfelt plea underscores the need for recognition and support for young girls striving for success, despite personal challenges and adversity.y Charlie Iteshi
