Miss Anambra, Basil Onyinyechi has been crowned Miss Universe Nigeria (MUN) 2025, beating fan’s favourite Miss Lagos, Dammy and other contestants.
In a shocking twist, Onyinyechi wowed the judges with her brilliant answer in the Q&A segment as she strutted the runway in her dazzling evening gown.
Basil Onyinyechi, who represented Anambra state made it to the top 5, alongside Miss Lagos, Miss Bayelsa, Miss Ogun and Miss Akwa Ibom.
The Q&A segment was what set Miss Onyinyechi apart from other contestants as she devoured, ate and left no crumbs.
As the new MUN 2025, She’d (Onyinyechi) be representing Nigeria this November in Thailand, later this year in the Miss Universe tournament.
Reacting to the report, Nigerians took to different social media platforms to air out their opinions.
One WalkerNelly wrote, “I genuinely wanted Dammy to win Miss Universe Nigeria tonight, especially because of her prior experience representing Nigeria on an international stage. However, I must admit that I expected more from her in terms of gown choice and the Q&A segment. Personally, I would rank her response in 4th place among the top 5 tonight, and her gowns for both the prelims and the final night were quite basic, I was looking forward to something more breathtaking. Even Nassarawa delivered a stronger gown presentation tonight. That said, Dammy’s catwalk remains flawless, always a perfect 100. But Miss Universe is as much about eloquence and personality as it is about stage presence, and this year’s competition will be especially tough. Congratulations to Miss Anambra! She truly deserved the crown, her answer was the best of the night. With the right training, she will place at Miss Universe.
Congratulations to Akwa-Ibom our Miss Supranational.”
One Ziniex wrote, “So happy for Anambra and very deserving of that crown. Only a person with bias will say she didn’t win it after the Q n A . That she made it to top 5 meant her marks from Prelims were already high so if the Lagos that had bigger fan base had answered properly and more eloquently she would have won. But Anambra won fair and square period! Congratulations 🎉 girl”
