In a night that shimmered with elegance, poise, and dreams come true, 24-year-old Joy Mojisola Raimi, representing Osun State, etched her name into history as she was crowned Miss World Nigeria 2025. The grandeur of the moment unfolded at the iconic Federal Palace Hotel in Victoria Island, Lagos, where 37 brilliant contestants from across the nation gathered for the coveted crown.
The announcement, made by Ben Murray-Bruce, founder of the Silverbird Group, sent waves of celebration across social media as he penned a heartfelt message on X.com:
“Congratulations to Joy Mojisola Raimi, the 24-year-old representing Osun State, on being crowned Miss World Nigeria 2025!”
But behind the dazzling smile and regal bearing lies a story of raw courage, personal triumph, and unwavering purpose.
From Bullying to the Beauty Queen: Her Inspiring Rise
Born without the presence of a mother and raised under the shadow of a harsh caregiver, Raimi’s journey was not one paved with privilege or ease. In the final round, standing tall among the top five—Miss Imo, Miss Ebonyi, Miss Abuja, Miss Abia, and herself—she bared her truth.
“They told me I would never amount to anything,” Raimi shared, her voice steady yet stirring.
“But I refused to let their words define me. Every scar became a symbol of strength. And today, I stand as a testament to resilience.”
Her words didn’t just echo through the hall—they resounded in the hearts of millions watching across Nigeria and beyond.
Beauty with a Heartbeat: The Love for Humanity Project
A proud graduate of the University of Port Harcourt, Raimi isn’t just a queen in title but in purpose. She is the founder of “The Love for Humanity” initiative—an organization driven by compassion, focused on restoring faith in humanity and offering hands-on humanitarian aid to the underserved.
This project became her lifeline and passion, born from the empathy carved into her spirit by her personal trials. It is this blend of beauty, intellect, and impact that elevated her from a pageant contestant to a national symbol of hope.
Onward to the Global Stage
Now adorned with the Miss World Nigeria crown, Raimi will carry Nigeria’s pride to the 72nd Miss World pageant, scheduled to take place in Hyderabad, India, from May 7 to 31, 2025. She will compete against representatives from over 140 countries, not just for a global title, but to showcase the true spirit of the Nigerian woman—brilliant, brave, and beautifully unstoppable.
More Than a Crown
In an era that craves authenticity, Joy Mojisola Raimi emerges not just as a beauty queen, but as a beacon of possibility for every young girl who’s ever been told she’s not enough.
She is proof that adversity doesn’t crush destiny—it sculpts it.
And now, with her crown in place and her story just beginning, Nigeria stands proudly behind her, cheering her on to conquer the world stage.
Long live the Queen—Long live Joy. 🌟
