Miss Osun Joy Raimi crowned Miss World Nigeria 2025
Joy Mojisola Raimi, a 24-year-old from Osun State, has been crowned Miss World Nigeria 2025.
The announcement was made by Ben Murray-Bruce, the founder of Silverbird Group, via a post on X.com on Saturday.
The prestigious event took place at the Federal Palace Hotel in Victoria Island, Lagos, where 37 contestants vied for the coveted title.
Raimi, a University of Port Harcourt graduate, is passionate about humanitarian work and established: “The Love for Humanity” project, which aims to inspire kindness and rebuild faith in humanity.
During the finale, Raimi shared her powerful journey of overcoming adversity. Raised without a mother and subjected to relentless bullying by her caregiver, she faced many challenges.
Despite being told she would never succeed, she has triumphed and reached this remarkable achievement.
Raimi will now represent Nigeria at the 72nd Miss World pageant in Hyderabad, India, from May 7 to 31, where she will compete with contestants from over 140 countries.
Beyond the glitz of the pageant, I really appreciate how Joy Raimi is using her platform to champion humanitarian efforts. That kind of leadership is what sets her apart.
Joy Raimi’s win is a refreshing reminder that pageantry today is as much about purpose as it is about presence. Her dedication to humanitarian work through ‘The Love for Humanity’ project truly sets her apart.
What stood out to me wasn’t just that Joy won, but that she’s channeling her influence into a cause like ‘The Love for Humanity.’ That’s the kind of leadership pageants should spotlight more often.
It’s inspiring to see someone like Joy Raimi use her platform for humanitarian work. ‘The Love for Humanity’ project adds real depth to her win and reminds us that modern pageants can be a force for positive change.
A well-deserved win! I’m curious to see how Joy will use her platform to further the impact of ‘The Love for Humanity’—it’s inspiring to see beauty queens stepping up as change-makers.
