Miss Nigeria pageant organisers battle Miss Nigeria 2011 over car

Miss Nigeria pageant organisers Daily Times Nigeria and Miss Nigeria 2011 queen Feyi Sodipo are currently not enjoying the best of relationship. They have been at loggerheads for sometime now over Daily Times' attempt to take back the Hyundai Accent Feyi was given after being crowned the winner of the 2011 Miss Nigeria pageant. The organizers are yet to disclose why they want to take the car back but Feyi believes it's because she got another car from the Ogun state government for being an ambassador for the state. A few weeks back there were reports that three people were arrested after they tried to forcefully retrieve the car from Feyi and even kidnap her.

Feyi spoke with Encomium mag about the incident and other troubles with Daily Times. She said:
"They have been trying to take my car for months now. They have been harassing me all around to surrender the car. The first time they tried it, they tried to for my car open. The second time I had to drive into a police station where the car was impounded and later released to me. Later, the Lagos Police Command invited me for a meeting. They spoke to me and Mr Anosike (Daily Times MD) and they requested I provided the car.


I told them it was in Ogun state and they gave me three policemen to follow me to Ogun state to retrieve the car, that's where the kidnap story came from. I don't understand why they keep requesting for a car I won alongside the crown at the pageant. Maybe because I was given another car by Ogun state governor for being an ambassador, but even at that it's still my car. There was never an agreement that I should return the car after my reign. The car is presently with the police. I feel so harassed and humiliated. I didn't enjoy my reign. Even when I wanted to go abroad for my scholarship, I couldn't do that because when I asked for my scholarship which was part of what I won at the pageant, they told me it had expired. They didn't do anything for me as a beauty queen. I was not even invited to this year's pageant. I was the last queen and I should have crowned the next one, but they didn't even invite me."
A rep of the Miss Nigeria pageant, managing editor of Daily Times, Mrs Isabella Osamor said...
"I really don't know the genesis of the whole thing. All I know is that Feyi has two cars and we wanted to recover one and we have asked the police to do that, so the matter is now between her and the police not us.

    3. You are very stupid, why will u say she's greedy? Is d car not one of d things she won as a beauty queen? Wats their reason of saying she shuld return it? Oh, she cannot own another car bcus they gave her one? You and this Daily Time peeps are very foolish nd broke..idiat!

    4. You must be a broke ass bitch. A saddist n and enemy of progress. When does owning two cars become being greedy. She worked for it, she deserved it. They have no right to collect it from her because she was given another. You must be one of them. God punish u. Think before you open your poverty stinking mouth

  2. Lol.
    Really?
    Who does that?
    All these sham peagenats,why harass the poor lass?
    This could discourage other girls from going in for such contests.
    On a second thought,maybe she should just give them the bloody car so they let her be.
    They appear to be hell bent on retrieving their car,crazy lot.
    Gashes!

  3. So crude!! This is the 21st century pls! The organisers need have no amour-propre! Pitiful of them to act in such a way to the queen, I know sponsorship and endorsement deals have terms and conditions but if they feel she violated any then they should do things in a formal way.

  6. Defunct Daily Times, shame on you for harassing and intimidating the young lady. I advise her to get a very good lawyer to sue both Daily Times and the Police. And why is it that all that concerns Daily Times and its new owners must always end up in controversy?

  9. Sincerely if daily times cannot sponsor this pageant any longer they should just hands-off it and allow other organisation that are not as broke as they are to sponsor it,,how can they be embarrasing their beauty queen because of a car,if the lady has other cars what's their business with that,,seriously they should think of how to revive daily times and put them on profit ways instead of tarnishing their already damaged and battered image!

  27. What rubbish, what's their reasons for wanting to collect the car she won during the pageant and that idiot is even saying she has 2cars and they wanna collect one of it. Yeye dey smell

    ReplyDelete
  28. Which car do you want to retrieve from her, the one she won or the one the Ogun State Government gave to her? Was it part of the package that she shouldn't own any car apart from the prize car? Her crime now is that she owns two cars. Nuts!!! I find this very insulting to the intelligence of Nigerians, under whose noses these retards practice and prattles. A big shame to the organizers of the Miss Ngeria Pageant.

  32. Mrs Isabella Osamor I am so ashamed of you, how can you make such an unitelligient statement. Did your organisation give her two cars? Was it written in any agreement that she can't have a second car? So if she bought the second car what's that got to do with anything? Pls n pls let the girl be, if she was sleeping with one oga at the top nobody will bother her. Let her be!

  42. So stupid of them to try and collect one of the cars. Wtf nonsense is that

    ReplyDelete
  43. Someone should help these girls sue these idiots. Its a breach of contract. Her winning was not contingent on not receiving other gifts or endorsements so how can they now say she has to fork over a car she rightfully won. And to withhold her scholarship money????? there has got to be more to this story!

    ReplyDelete
  44. That very wrong of them. as long as there was no agreement that the car be returned after her reign then they have no right to take the car from her even if Ogun State Government gave a car also. It's her luck!

    U motherfuckers should fucken leave dat young lady alone. Na she say make she find favour in the eyes of the Ogun state government? Mind you, it is God that has chosen to bless her. So if you dont want God to visit you with a sledge hammer of punishment, u better leave that gurl alone. Criminal.

  66. They should allow the girl rest and stop harassing her. If her home state gives her car why would daily times be fighting her. Ogun state govt should help her sort out this issue with daily times or has she stopped being an embassador of her state even at that she was once.

The car has been given to her already why do you want it back? FYI the car now belongs to her and she has all d right over it. I suggest she talk to a lawyer and she should take the matter to court to address and restrain those idiot from harassing her any longer. *ThatFunctionGuy*

  70. My candid advise for her is to get herself a lawyer and sue them so that court can restrain them from harrasing her and so that police can release the car to her. Shameless broke ass people, who force them to organise a pageant? That's a breach of contract. *ThatFunctionGuy*

  79. all these pageant organisers use their winner to make money.dailytimes and co were expecting multinationals to sponsor their pageant.since no company did they became bittered and broke.maybe the pageant winner refuse to share part of the money donated to her that is why they are after her.

  80. That's ma problem with all forms of beauty contests.Sometym ago sum1 won the face of Democare n was given a car as a prize n a one year contract with d company.two days later,the car was collected and she was asked 2 pay a huge amount of money 2 retrieve the car, as if that was not enuf,she has not appeared in any of their products,a part of the prize for winning the face of democare. Such a shame!

    ReplyDelete
  81. Really? Like,Seriously? A beauty queen enjoys perks, how is a gift from her state government any of their business? The funniest part of this whole ish has to be the fact that a member of their dysfunctional organisation shamelessly spoke up and regarded her gift as their property...Lmao!
    SMH!

  82. Do you all not know that Fidelis Anosike who "owns" Daily Times is a criminal. His picture was displayed for years at Alagbon for 419, and if I may remember, it was also displayed at the International Airport, Lagos. We do not have good investigative journalism in this country, if we did, the dirt on that stupid chap would send him to jail. Go to Alagbon and investigate his past. How a chap like that can "buy" Daily Times is a story that can only happen in Nigeria.

  91. She won the car as Miss Nigeria and now got another car as an ambassador for some state in Nigeria. Unless she signed a contract stipulating her to relinquish her car she got from winning Miss Nigeria, then the organizers of the pageant have no merit whatsoever to be harrassing her to return the car.

  97. I noticed most LIB readers just comment without their brains,she said she wasn't invited to the last pageant,if Agbani Darego that won Miss Nigeria some years back cud be invited,it therefore means this present queen has violated some of the rules during her reign,cos she cudnt av just been denied schholarship,the car and invitation just bcos she has two cars,there is more to this,Linda dig well,u will get to know.

  103. do they want to give the car to the next queen? what kind of rubbish is that..she won the car so she owns the car. Who gives a gift/reward and demands for it back.

    so they didnt give her her scholarship..broke people...
    infact all these beauty pageants are a lot....why Lacasera.....loads of pageants that arent necessary..ughhh

  105. I no like to de comment on blogs but this Miss Nigeria organizers are stupid and unprofessional. why collect a car from the poor girl. Even if she has 1 million car, a gift is a gift. Or is there something behind going on that we dont know. Na only for naija this nonsense go happen. smh
