Lynda Chuba-Ikpeazu
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In 1986, Linda Chuba-Ikpeazu was the first Most Beautiful Girl in Nigeria pageant winner, and thus started the trend for the domination of Igbo women in the pageant.
The daughter of a judge, Chuba-Ikpeazu was educated in Nigeria, England, and America, where she worked as a model. Apart from representing Nigeria in the Miss Africa Intercontinental pageant (later Miss Intercontinental) and Miss Universe 1987, she also took part in Miss Africa 1987, which she won. This led to more modelling offers, and she spent three months in London promoting Gambian airline Gambair. After her reign as Miss Africa, Chuba-Ikpeazu became a buisness woman, specializing in oil servicing.
Today Chuba-Ikpeazu is a representative in the National House of Representatives.
