Amb. Rita Chika Ezenwa (Queen Nerita); Miss Face of Humanity Nigeria and one of Africa’s most influential beauty queens has stimulated the youths to brace up and never forget that they are the future of any nation and so should continue to be a source of support to humanity.
Speaking on Saturday at the closing ceremony of the 2nd extraordinary summit of the Youth Model African Union in Abuja, Queen Nerita who was the special guest of honour commended the commitment of the African Union in simulating youths across the 55 member states of the Africa Union in the diplomatic process and activities of the African Union.
Excerpts from Queen Nerita’s goodwill message read
“My presence here is a testament to the tremendous opportunity we have as youths to make an impact in our various societies. To be united as one and build quality networks and relationships, share ideas and propel sustainable African development and prosperity. This will serve as a game changer for the economic development of our great continent.
“African youths have so much more to learn and gain from each other. We need to build strong leadership and diplomatic skills, so we will be able to proffer solutions to our continents’ most pressing challenges.
“It is time to put our differences apart, our colour, race, ethnicity, religion, societal and educational background, and work together as one, to achieve the Africa of our dreams. However, this requires our collective efforts and collaborations to develop implementable ideas starting from the grassroots level.
“This is also in line with what the Miss Face of Humanity stands for; providing a platform and countless opportunities for young women to share their voices, purpose, poise, and confidence with the world. Preparing women to be great ambassadors and to be ready to contribute to the advancement of world peace and diplomacy across the world, while supporting their ambitions and visions for a better world.
“They are a global showcase for female change-makers who believe in the power of Humanity to change the world, and our legacy will be measured by what we have done for “love and for humanity.” We believe every youth, especially females, has a voice and a light to create change. Thus, there is no better time to DARE and to be heard than RIGHT NOW”.
How Queen Nerita wants to involve the youths
While fielding questions from newsmen on the sidelines of the Summit, the eloquent and innovative beauty queen revealed that she is planning some advocacy visits and activities specifically designed to campaign for massive participation of youths in evolving a greater and better humanity devoid of violence and political crises.
According to her, it is geared towards seeing Africa and the world at large in the nearest future with empowered youths campaigning and maintaining peace in all parts of Africa through expanding our understanding of cultural diversity.
