PHOTO: Meet the first ever Miss Nigeria

Meet the first ever Miss Nigeria.....Mrs Grace Tinuke Oyedule.

Miss Nigeria started as a photo contest in 1957. Contestants posted photographs of themselves to the Daily Times headquarters in Lagos where finalists were shortlisted; those successful were invited to compete in the live final which at the time did not include a swimsuit competition at the Lagos Island Club.

UAC employee Grace Oyelude won the maiden edition of Miss Nigeria, and later used part of her £200 prize money to travel to England where she studied Nursing.
