Mr, Miss Nigeria Int’l 2024 Holds in Lagos

All is now set for the hosting of Mr and Miss Nigeria International. This year, the organizers are partnering with US-based FE TV HUB to produce two televised events in the fall; ‘Fit For A King’ and ‘Inferno Runway’.

The fashion entertainment venture will be headed by long-time pageant veteran Brendan Nsikak, the founder of Brendance and Crusaders Ltd and New York based entrepreneur Bob Cal.

As the founder of one of the nation’s most prestigious pageants, the familiar face Brendan Nsikak, will bring his experience and knowledge as technical director to the program. While Bob Cal, who is coming all the way from the global fashion capital New York City, brings a fresh take on fashion to revolutionize the local industry.

According to the pageant veteran Brendan Nsikak, “‘Fit for a King’ is a men’s fashion designer competition searching for the nation’s next top men’s designer. Packed with top Nollywood stars and Nigerian fashion icons, ‘Fit for a King’ is a visual feast of royalty and celebrities; a regalia of opulent and ostentatious African fashion that only the fashion-conscious Nigerians can achieve. During each episode, designers will create a look for a celebrity to stomp down the runway, while viewers will evict one designer until only one designer is crowned ‘Fit for a King.”

Nsikak who briefed the press on the forthcoming beauty show, said that ‘Inferno Runway’ on the other hand, “is a spicy high fashion affair, a beach wear designer competition searching for the nation’s top beach wear designer who can embody the powerful femininity that Nigerian women are known for.

‘Inferno Runway’ is a feast of slay, attitude and boldness. Watch as Nigeria’s most beautiful women light up the ‘Inferno Runway’ wearing luscious swimwear designs of competing beach-wear designers. In each episode, viewers will evict a designer until only one designer is crowned ruler of the ‘Inferno Runway.”

Inferno Runway and Fit for a King he noted further, are part of a global movement promoting fashion as a form of entertainment adding that American based FE TV HUB specifically sought out Nigeria as its hub for fashion entertainment after its founder Bob Cal came to Nigeria in 2023 and was blown away by the nation’s passion for fashion.

The aim is to set the stage to make Nigeria known globally as a fashion entertainment capital and, to realize all the potentials that the Nigerian fashion industry and entertainment industry have to offer.

The show which is open to Nigerians aged between 18 and 35, from all over the country he added, is also designed to globalize Nigerian entertainment industry and promote the creation of jobs, as well as provide opportunities to Nigerian creatives to continue to excel through the global entertainment economy.

The Mr Nigeria International show takes place May 26, 2024 while Miss Nigeria International is billed for October 27, 2024.

Also, Lagos fashion entertainment reality television show is scheduled to hold on November 7, 2024.

“‘Inferno Runway’ and ‘Fit for a King’ will not only promote Nigerian fashion talent in Africa, but will be exported to foreign audiences in the United States and Dubai. Inferno Runway and Fit for a King are a part of an effort to put Nigerian fashion and talent on the map, internationally, and help brand Nigeria as a global fashion and entertainment hub.

“FE TV HUB in partnership with Mr and Miss Nigeria International will produce dozens of programs in Nigeria over the next few years that will be exported overseas. This venture will create jobs locally and promote Nigeria globally as a fashion and entertainment capital,” Nsikak stated.
