Munachi Nwanknwo

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Nineteen year old Munachi Gail Teresa Abii Nwanknwo was born in Nigeria where she was brought up by her mother who had been crippled by polio. Growing up in a single-parent family was not easy, and Nwankwno struggled to endure hard times. Her luck changed when as a teenager, she lived in the United Kingdom with her father for a few years before gaining admission into the Benson Idahosa University in her home country to study International relations and Diplomacy.

Nwanknwo shot to celebrity status when in 2007, she fulfilled her childhood dream by participating in the Most Beautiful Girl in Nigeria pageant. Despite being only five foot seven inches, she was able to blow the judges away with her charm and elegance, as well as her stunning appearance. The Owerri native also represented Nigeria at Miss World in China later that year.

Nwanknwo is currently finishing her degree, and models part-time.
