As an aspiring contestant for the 2016 Miss Nigerian beauty pageant, Amadi, a combination of brain and beauty, has always loved modeling and fashion as a child. Knowing the importance of combining education with modeling, Amadi decided to acquire university education at the right time, so as not to allow it clash with her modeling career.

Knowing that young models face a lot of challenges, Amadi promises to create a strong foundation for young girls when she finally wins the contest.

“I vow to make impact, especially on girls and to redirect the path of girls who may have gone astray. I promise to ensure that young female models do not fall victims to fraudsters or sexual harassers and I will do something that girls will benefit from …ensure that young models enjoy modeling as a career,” she said.

She says with her experience in her school pageantry, she has gained some knowledge that others so not have.

The fresh graduate of Mass Communication, who sees modeling from a positive perspective, has the “I can” spirit, as she has the confidence make it to the final contest.

She advised upcoming models to be optimistic and have courage of overcoming all obstacles in modeling. Amadi claims to have great ideas to offer the Nigerian youth, which other contestants cannot offer. “I have the instinct to grow others, I have leadership skills. I want to grow people to be role models to others. I also have ideas, ability to create new things, and to touch lives,” Amadi said.

She promised that even when she retires from the career, other models would come to know her as impacting lives.

Amadi, who says that fashion means a lot to her and who strongly believes in it, loves simple dress sense; classy style, charisma. As a lady, Amadi believes that a woman’s dressing should portray whom she is.

Every occasion determines the kind of clothes she wears. She believes in descent dressing and loves casual jeans.

Amadi wants the government to diversify from oil to tourism and fashion industry.
