Ghana’s flagship beauty pageant, Miss Ghana has been dogged with lots of controversies over the years and it seems the rot of that umbilical cord is yet to be cut.
The organizers of the hitherto prestigious beauty pageant have just picked their final 20 contestants; two girls from each region. One of the girls representing the Upper West Region identified as Margeret Dery happens to be the niece of the current interior minister Ambrose Dery.
Thus there are lot schemes behind the scenes to make Margaret the winner even before the grand finale is held. Her affiliation with the party and the fact that she’s rumored to be having an affair with the brother of the Vice President , Yakubu Bawumia gives credence to this information.
It is even said that he (Yakubu Bawumia) was seen recently donating thousands of dollars at a casino to the Miss Ghana events in the name of Miss Margaret Dery.
The scary part of this whole issue is that this beautiful lady can hardly exchange greetings in her mother tongue(Dagaare) let alone construct one sentence in any local dialect, yet she has been picked as Miss Upper West and being ‘prepared’ to be declared winner in the final event.
One of the criteria for winning the pageant is one who embodies the heritage, culture and tradition of her region so we are wondering why they want to crown a someone who lacks all these?
