Nigerian hot model and ex-beauty queen, Agbani Darego, has tied the
knot with her longtime lover, Ishaya Danjuma, who is the son of
influential politician.
Former Miss World, Agbani Darego, has taken to her Instagram page
and released the official photo from her wedding, which took place on
Saturday, April 8.
The first native African to win Miss World, who shared the good
news on social media, did not reveal the full identity of her husband,
but many online users identified him simply as Ishaya Danjuma, who is
the son of General Theophilus Yakubu Danjuma.
According to reports the fashion entrepreneur got married at the
popular Amanjena luxury resort in Marrakech, Morocco, where Agbani was
seen wearing a classic sheath wedding dress with a stunning low back,
while Ishaya wore a classic grey suit.
Recall that in 2001, Darego was crowned Most Beautiful Girl in
Nigeria. A few months later she was a contestant at Miss Universe, and
became the first Nigerian to place among the top 10 semi-finalists,
finishing seventh overall. She was the only one to wear a maillot as
opposed to a bikini during the swimsuit competition.
In November that year, she became the first native African to claim
the Miss World title (Although past winners such as Penelope Coelen and
Anneline Kriel are South African, they are of European descent, and
Antigone Costanda, who represented Egypt in 1954 is of Greek heritage).
Darego's victory was widely welcomed in her home country, and her
one-year tenure included goodwill trips and scheduled appearances on
behalf of the pageant, and a national honour of MFR.
