Quiin Abenakyo is set to be honored with a lifetime achievement in New York in May.
The 23-year-old Miss World Africa is flourishing in her title as the best things in life seem to be finding her wherever she is. Quiin was crowned earlier this year at the miss world pageant in China where she exhibited beauty and brains.
The beautiful Quiin made it to top 5
She is to revieve the honor at this year’s Twegaite International Convention which is set to happen at the Empire State in New York City, USA from 24th to 27th May.
The convention is a basoga get together for those living abroad to give back to their community and forge unity among basoga.
Since Abenakya won Miss world Africa, rumor and arrangements have been assumed for her even without her knowing. And when the beauty queen visited the kyabazinga, even bigger assumptions were made including her becoming the queen of busoga which seemed rightfully earned as theost beautiful African.
Brenda Nanyonjo the head of the Miss Uganda franchise came out to squash those rumours in a recent interview.
“Any man planning on marrying Abenakyo should just keep it as a secret to himself because Miss Africa is too busy for marriage.” she said.
Nanyonjo however said that the most Abenakyo can do is traditional introduction but not official marriage with a wedding ceremony.
Well, Abenakyp’s boyfriend must wake up and grab the opportunity now.
As the festivities of graduations at makerere university were in high gear, one thing seemed amiss around newly famous miss world Africa as with new attention comes new scrutiny.
As the names of graduands for the bachelors degree of business computing were read, Abenakyo was read first but was no where to be found in the printed copy which everyone had. Tongues started to wag on the discrepancy that was going on that could somehow be tied to her fame that caused her to skip the queue.
University administrator came out to clear the air “Hey. The story circulating about Abenakyo is false. She completed her course Bachelor of Business Computing. Her name was read first. Not in the book because it was printed before she cleared,” he said.
The State Minister for Tourism Wildlife and Antiques Hon Kiwanda Suubi crowned Quiin Abenakyo during the launch of the fourth edition of the Ekkula Tourism Awards.
Zari working on something bigZari announced as tourism ambassador
Quiin, recently crowned Miss World Africa takes over the position from socialite Zari who has barely held it for months. Being one of the judges that crowned her miss Uganda, we are sure Zari is indeed happy for the new entrant.
The Ekkula awards celebrating tourism in Uganda will be held at Sheraton Hotel Kampala on the 29th day of March 2019 under the theme ‘Sharing Our Cultural Diversity Through The Digital Transformation For Bigger Tourism Numbers’’.
Our Miss Uganda is back, and she brought us more than glory. For the next couple of months, she is going to be under scrutiny by many, but here are 5 top reasons why we already love Quick Abenakyo.
1. She Doesn’t Forget Her Roots
So many people in Uganda have become successful and completely forgotten where they come from. Others even want nothing to do with their tribal background. For Quick, this is important, and she went straight to visit and thank her Kyabazinga, on her return.
The Queen knows her background
2.She has Manners.
“Kneeling is not Stylish, the 21st Century parent does not require me to kneel” so they say. Quick does not mind getting down on her knees, regardless of what she is wearing. If the most beautiful woman in Africa can kneel, what about you?
Queen on the ground
3. She takes Advice Positively
Do you remember when the president of Uganda told this beauty queen that she should stop wearing chines hair? Well, she took all this positively, and did not hesitate to show off her natural beauty.
She looks beautiful Natural
4.Her Beauty
This lady is beautiful both on the inside and out. Her heart for the needy is what got her points more than anything. She spoke of the project to help the girl child in her region, and expressed her true self.
She is beautiful
5. Her Name
Quiin was already destined for the crown before she had even grown up. We know this because her name is Quiin sounds like Queen. Congratulations to you!
The Speaker of Parliament, Rt Honourable Rebecca Kadaga is one of the many people who have been wished away by the beauty, intelligence and determination of Quiin Abenakyo. She met Quiin, the current Miss Uganda 2018/19 and Miss World, Africa 2018/19, during her visit at Parliament. Kadaga posted;
“We discussed a wide range of issues. Among her programmes is to empower the girl child. She will also put emphasis on fighting teenage pregnancies and keeping the girl child at school.
The beauty queen pays a courtesy visit
I commit to support Abenakyo in order for her plans to succeed as Miss Uganda and Miss Africa.
The speaker of parliament shared her beliefs on these programs to protect the girl child.
“I believe that this is the time for Abenakyo to implement her plans as Miss Uganda and also visit schools and other learning institutions in order to give moral support to students and encourage them to study.”
Over the years, Ugandans have created a variety of stereotypes, about people from different regions of the country. The one that has gone far and wide is that of the Basoga. From jokes, to me message, to songs and insinuatioms, Ugandans have called them all names, from backward, to uneducated, to jiggers, and more, but will they do this again after 2018?
Moses wins award
This tribal group is changing the country. Quiin Abenakyo, the only miss Uganda to make it to Miss World Top three over the years, is evidence to this. Moses Waiswa has taken the best male soccer player trophy at the Airtel FUFA Awards. They clearly have the beauty, and the talents.
The jokes must not go on
Some of the biggest positions in Ugandan politics are taken up by the Basoga, And in addition to this, the most beautiful bridge in the country is in their town. The Tourism Ambassador, and one of the faces of Uganda Zari Hassan is from the land of the Basoga.
Ugandans, fellow country men and women, we have made it. Miss Uganda 2018/19 has made her country proud on the world stage. She has reached levels no other beauty queen in the history of Ugandan beauty pea gents has ever. Quinn Abenakyo has been Crowned Miss World Africa 2018/19.
