Joy Mojisola Raimi clinches 2025 Miss World Nigeria title

Joy Mojisola Raimi, a 24-year-old alumna of the University of Port Harcourt, has emerged as Miss World Nigeria 2025. 

Representing Osun State, Raimi outshone other contestants during the event’s spectacular grand finale, which took place at the prestigious Federal Palace Hotel in Victoria Island, Lagos.

The announcement of her victory was made by Ben Murray-Bruce, the founder of Silverbird Group, who shared his congratulations via a post on X (formerly Twitter) on Saturday, celebrating her achievement and new role as the country’s beauty ambassador.

“Congratulations to Joy Mojisola Raimi, the 24-year-old representing Osun State, on being crowned Miss World Nigeria 2025!” Bruce wrote.

According to him, 37 contestants from across the country participated in the national pageant, all vying for the prestigious crown.

Raimi stood out not only for her elegance but also for her commitment to humanitarian causes through her initiative, ‘The Love for Humanity’ project.

“The grand finale took place at the Federal Palace Hotel in Victoria Island, Lagos, where 37 contestants from across Nigeria competed for the top spot.

“Raimi, a University of Port Harcourt graduate, is passionate about humanitarian services and founded ‘The Love for Humanity’ project, dedicated to spreading love and restoring faith in humanity,” he stated.

Bruce further shared insights into Raimi’s personal journey, noting that her strength was shaped by a challenging upbringing.

“In the final round, Raimi faced off against Miss Imo, Miss Ebonyi, Miss Abuja, and Miss Abia.

“When asked about overcoming bullying, she shared her inspiring story of growing up without a mother and facing harassment from her caregiver.

“She emphasized that despite being told she would never amount to anything, she has proven otherwise by achieving this milestone,” he wrote.

With her new title, Raimi will go on to represent Nigeria at the 72nd Miss World pageant scheduled to take place in Hyderabad, India, from May 7 to 31, where she will compete against contestants from 140 countries.
