WCW: Meet @GoddessLo_ Miss Nigeria Usa 2016 and read her inspiring story

Tears of surprise, fulfillment and accomplishment stream down beauty queen, Miss Lola Adeoye, as she was pronounced Miss Nigeria USA 2016

Miss Lola Adeoye, currently a 3rd year JD/MBA student at the Howard University School of Law, first contested for the Miss Nigeria USA pageant in 2010. Since then, She has contested in and lost 8 pageants, and each loss was like more steps away from achieving her goal.

Finally, on the 28th of May 2016, she beat out the 18 contestants to emerge winner of Miss Nigeria USA 2016.

Following her struggle story, the journey hasn’t been an easy one. Trying to achieve a particular goal and failing in the attempt on so many occasion is enough to question one’s self esteem and the determination to relentlessly continue at the same goal despite discouraging results is quite a feat and a virtue many of us lack.

In Queen Lola’s case, her strong resolution finally got her goal and this is why she is our WCW for today!

Meet the new Miss Nigeria USA 2016!

After a 44-year relationship, couple in their 80s finally walk down the aisle

After a 44 year relationship between Colin Dunn and Sally Smith, the duo decided it was time to take the commitment further

Sally

Colins

Colin first met in Sally – a mother of four – in 1972 behind the bar of a social club he visited every weekend after work. After a while, he asked her out and she said ‘yes’

Colin, recalled:

‘Sally used to serve me every weekend when I’d go in after work. We got chatting and she got used to me going in. Eventually, I asked her out.’

The couple only got engaged last year after all their children have left home and they finally had time for themselves.

And so before friends and family, 84 years old Colin and 82 years old Sally got married at St Mary’s Church in Middleton, before heading over to the social club where they first met to enjoy a meal after the ceremony.

With the right partner, love is just a beautiful thing.

Wedding Alert; Two hearts become one as Mary-Ann weds Charles.

On the 30th of April 2016, in St Gabriel Catholic Church, Mokoka, Ibadan, Charles (groom) and Mary-Ann (bride) made a commitment before God, their families and friends, to stick together through thick and thin, through jolly and bumpy rides, till death do them part.

Reception followed immediately at Agodi Garden, Parliament Road, Ibadan.Don’t they make a cute picture!
Their traditional marriage, which took place on the 14th of November 2015, was at Ben Igwe’s compound, Nenwe, Enugu state.

We’re elated to share all their happy moments today

How They Met.
Bride’s story;I woke up early one morning in December, 2014, to a message on my WhatsApp from a strange number. And of course I replied with the usual “please who are you and who gave you my number?”
He answered only the first question “I am ordinary Charles”. This only got me angry and I immediately told him off. I had no time for such rubbish! Lol

He was however persistent and somehow I started replying his chats and even looked forward to our conversations. Of course he didn’t know this, I was still playing hard chic! Then after some weeks (few days after Christmas I think) I decided to drop by his office and see who’s been disturbing me since it was on my route. Just to be sure he wasn’t one dude with a burnt face or…. well the list is just endless. I dropped by his office, and coincidentally, I saw he was someone I had met over a year before but just joked with him and left. We talked for a few while, before I left he already said I was going to be his wife. Of course I called his bluff!

We kept on talking, then we started dating and I realized what a truly wonderful guy he is, I know everyone says this about their partner but believe me, Charles is really a wonderful guy and if I have any regrets, it’s that I didn’t date him earlier!

6 months later, he proposed and true to his words the first day we met, today, I am his wife.
