MISS AMAKA OGUCHI

I am Miss Commonwealth Africa 2010. I became Miss Commonwealth Nigeria in 2009; and becoming a Commonwealth Ambassador from a National level to an International level has been a life changing experience for me. Throughout my reign, I have gotten the opportunity to meet important personalities and celebrities, walk the red carpet and travel to beautiful diverse countries. Being present at the London Fashion week and the Notting Hill Carnival was a really thrilling and fun experience for me. I was able to interact with people from different backgrounds and culture. Shortly afterwards I was invited as a special guest to the 2010 Commonwealth Games held in New Delhi and I felt really honoured. With all these among others I am most glad that I've touched the lives of a lot of people especially the youths and younger kids by raising money for different Charities. My life has been changed through the numerous opportunities that have presented themselves to me.

In my voluntary community role as a Cultural and Charity Ambassador, I promoted sports as a way of fun and learning in schools, donated to paediatric wards and orphanages, organised youth empowerment seminars in schools and raised awareness for Cervical Cancer. My most recent Chieftancy Title given to me by my people as "Ada di Ora Nma" allowed me promote Culture and Tourism in many ways.

I thank God, my family, every person, every organisation, and every government body, both home and aboard, for all the support and contributions made to ensure I carried out my role wit ease and success.


I am glad that an opportunity has been created for another Nigerian girl to be crowned Miss Commonwealth Nigeria 2012. I hope the new queen will be able to enjoy the benefits and opportunities that comes with the crown. Good luck.
