Even though many people around her thought otherwise, Omawunmi Akinifesi never stopped believing in herself.
Former Most Beautiful Girl in Nigeria, Omowunmi Akinifesi has taken to Instagram to share her inspiring testimony.
According to her, she is often perceived, not good enough for everything she wanted, by people close to her, but she always proved them wrong.
From becoming the MBGN, 2005, to winning other crowns, as well as gaining admission to Kings College, London. She has lived to prove people wrong by succeeding in what they always thought impossible for her.
Her words below;
Someone very very close to me once told me that it was impossible for me to win MBGN. “The other girls are way prettier than you. Are u blind?”. Yet i won.
.
How can you win Miss Tourism International? “Look at Miss Russia’s body?”…. Yet I won.
.
“You can not win Miss Bikini International with your dark skin”. Yet I won. In total 3 crowns. Yet i won
.
Next was you can never finish with an Upper Class Division. You are too busy as MBGN. Then i finished with a 3.9 GPA. Yet I won
.
Kings College London can never admit you Omowunmi. Forget applying because they only take certain kind of students. Then Cambridge, Imperial, UCL and Kings College sent me admission Letters. Oxford put me on their waiting list. Because i was told KCL was way out of my league i chose KCL. Plus i liked the fact that my High School was Queens College and my Uni was Kings College. Yet I won
.
Then i decided to start a business and someone very close to me said “you know you are just not good at Business”. Now they come to me for business advice. And i have 4 companies i run. Yet I won.
.
I cried everytime someone told me i couldn’t. But have never gone the way people tell me to go. When i do i fail. I go the way my spirit directs. If you follow the words of people you will fall and remain stagnant. Dry your tears, follow your own heart and fail forward knowing you followed you. At the end of the day you face your death alone so what the hec. Lets run this race called life and run it unapologetically ✌?. #Gogetter#Spreadpositivity#Femaleentrepreneur#YetIWon#YetIAmstillWinning
Keep winning girl.
