TOP
BRAND EXCLUSIVE BY CZAR OF LETTERS, OSAGIE CERUTTI
One of Africa’s most naturally beauty queen and
reigning Miss Eko, Lagos,Princess,Grace Ekeoma Oluoha may not be your run of
the mill conventional beauty and no Christ egg head
Was
it not the great wordsmith, Freya Stark who once mussed that: ‘the
world love those who give to life with humility and who accept with ease of
humility’’
I
have always spoken in superlatives about the humble nature of one of Africa’s
best talent in music, 2FACE NDIBIA, not because he is my childhood friend, but
because he has no chip on his shoulder, as big a brand as Ndibia, he sees mere
mortals and he kneels down to pay homage-that is Christ like
In
the make believe glamor world of make believe, not many have such humble state
of mind, many are peacock in human skin, and that may be their funeral
Not
so long ago, we came across a most humble queen in person of Grace Ekeoma
Oluoha, the current queen of Lagos. Looking angelic in her white surplice. On first ever encounter,
she was bowed down her head with a crown on to greet d Cerutti, this is rare
for queens to have such trait, I said to myself
Few
days later, over light dinner at Ikoyi Southern Sun, we sat to talk, and few
hours after, I concluded that definitely it was not just luck or her beauty
that made her beauty queen or what she is today, it is combination of God on
her side and her hard graft
Back
home to knock the piece together, it was no tea party, my task was rather like
putting together some intricate jigsaw puzzle, because Christ name is involve
here, that is the biggest name on earth
EARLY LIFE
Grace
was born from a very deep and religious Christian family of seven and she is
the 5th child. She was quick to add that even though she is from
the eastern part of Nigeria she sees herself as a true Lagosian
‘’Sure
I was born and bred in Lagos, I have
lived all my life here, so I do not consider myself an outsider, am true and
total Lagosian’’ she insisted
With
her primary and secondary school in Marjos International primary school and
Marjos Internationals college, both in Lagos, she eventually proceeded to the Nigeria
Institute of Journalism(NIJ) in a bid to satisfy her age long media passion,
with a special bent in broadcast
journalism
BORN TO BE A QUEEN?
It
may not be wrong to depict that Grace is a young lady born to be a queen for
all her life she had on hand to emerge one form of beauty queen or the other.
Before leaving Marjos she had won a beauty crown, when she enrolled into NIJ
her focus was totally was on her journalism career, many that saw her grace
motivated her to try her hand in the schools’ beauty pageant and that was
exactly what she did along the line
In
2010 she got admitted to the premier journalism school in Nigeria, a year later
she emerged as MISS NIJ, in 2011, the following year that victory in her school
led her to vie for the highly sought after Miss Eko in 2012 which she
eventually won
HARD ROAD TO BEING MISS EKO
On
road to the event grand finale, the young queen admitted that the advice her
father always gave them while growing up always reverberated in her
subconscious
‘’ He
will call us and say to win in life is
not a joke, he will tell us that we must aim to have push and go to get ahead,
he will tell us life is all about lots of sacrifice , dedication to duty and hard
work with trust in God
‘’So
adding all this together, I decided that to go far in a competition like Miss
Eko, I must do the extraordinary, so in camp few days to the grand finale, I
prayed and fasted for 2 full days, 6 am to 6 p.m and diligently prayed to God to crown y
effort with victory, at the end of the day I was not in shock that I won, I
have expected it but I must confessed it was not just my beauty that did it for
me, the grace and hand of God what made me winner above all the others stunning
beauties’ ‘she admitted
She
also had another motivation, she posited that the way style siren Agbami Darego
outclassed all the other beauty in the world to be world best what also moved
her, I watched how she spoke for many weeks, Agbami is a rare beauty, I LOVE
her a lot and learn a few couple of tricks from her, am not shy to say she is
one of my inspirations in the beauty world’’
MASSIVE CHARITY PROJECTS IN
VIEW
For
her, she prays that her life or reign will not end as just beauty and all talk with not touching lives of the needy. She was empathic about her mission as
queen
‘’My
key target is in children between ages 0-12, I want to wipe out tears in their
eyes and help those that are from disadvantaged home to be able to get better
education, and as God will have it, I have started on good note with Mrs.
Margaret Ibru already coming to m e aid with sponsorship fund where we are
already taking care of the educational dream of a few disadvantaged student, I
WILL forever live to be indebted to Mrs. Ibru
Apart
from the scholarship drive, Grace also has a novel ambition,’’ I love to
de-worm little children, this is an area that is very slow in Africa,
de-worming of little children should be a basic necessity in Africa but it is
lacking, we de-worm little children we are helping them have clear sense of
living and make them more healthy, I hope our corporate world will help me in
this area ’’she appealed passionately
PASSION, AWAY FROM BEAUTY
WORLD
Well
who one earth live a life with no passion?
Her
case was rare one, apart from her love for reading, she also loves to dance.
‘’I can dance the whole day as I can sing, but dancing is my life, unfortunately
when I say dancing, I mean simply dancing for Christ, I do not go to club or
conventional night parties, I do all my dancing in church’’ she laughed aloud
As to
her beauty secret, she admitted not having any, insisting that God is her only
beauty secret, but her best designer label i.e GREAT GRACE COLLECTION, her own
clothing line which she runs by herself and on her own making all her outfit
herself, that again I find very strange, but she e was quick to warn that there
is nothing strange there, ‘’I have Christ , he has giving me all the potential
I need to rule the world, so why wait in the dark?’’
As
her final word on road, she simply postulated that’’ I thank God for giving me
grace, I thank my family for being there for me and chief off all I thank my
pastor Poju Oyemade, bosses Femi Odutuga,Mr Michael and Mr Abiodun, I am also grateful to Mrs.
Ibru for all her support to the less privilege children, in all we do, once we
have fear of the lord we will triumph beyond our expectations’’
