Miss Brains Abuja

The problems facing the girl child in Africa is quite enormous; this includes:  religious, traditions/cultural impositions and even social vices keep impeding on their quest to a fulfilled life. Early marriage, rape and lack of education are only some of the wickedness against them, leading to lack of Self-confidence; a major hindrance to their effective contributions to national development.
The Miss Brains project is a girl-child leadership discovery scheme aimed at promoting the enormous power in women to influence right societal changes that is necessary for family development and nation building. It is an event that involves intelligence quotient test, physical fitness test and current affairs awareness test. Participating schools will present their best candidate to symbolize the school as over 40 teenagers will be on the grand stage before a huge crowd of spectators at the International Conference Centre, Abuja as our judges give their scores. The winner becomes the most important teenager ambassador, standing for all Nigerian female teenagers as their voice to self-actualization.
The Miss Brains Abuja is not the usual pageant where beauty is a major criterion; neither is revealing dinner dresses nor bikini outfits considered. Candidates must be between the age of 14 – 16 and must have our authorization form granted and signed by their parents/guardians. The winner and runner-ups get prizes ranging from “soft” education scholarships to shopping vouchers that amounts over N200, 000 in three of the grandest supermarkets and malls within Abuja. Several visits and special dinner meetings with the first lady of the Federal republic on Nigeria, Female Senators, Ministers, other female Ambassadors to discuss and negotiate special offers for certain under-privileged persons are part duties of the Miss Brains Abuja.
