      @Anonymous 11:43am: how do u expect her to look it when she is battling sickness. Look beyond the weight and low cut hair and there lies a very pretty girl!......she won that crown at the age of 18 and you are looking at a pic of after 40! I guess u can realize that you spoke too fast

    Our life-style in Nigeria makes us vulnerable to cancer: bad-diet, lack of excercise. We are so concern about our look on-the-outside.

    RIP!..... If the Caucasians have channelled all the energy and resources they have put into hormonal change of transgenders and cosmetic surgery into research for cure of cancer, I think by now they would have found a cure for cancer!!!

    I don't really have to put all blame on the Caucasians! We Negroes are not doing anything or inventing anything! My fellow Negroes the easiest way to become richer than Bill Gates and Carlos Slim is to discover a cure for cancer today!!!

    I will have to disagree with you on that. What bad diet? All the food we as Nigerians and on a whole Africans eat is 100 times better than the processed stuff Caucasians eat. Our diet is the best and their so-called organic food is normal to us and that's what we have. Also, our bodies are packed with Vitamin D which a lot of Caucasians lack. We are better off when it comes to cancer than they are. Exercise? All the flights of stairs people climb because of the fear of using functional lifts, is exercise. Who said people don't even exercise more?

    May Rita rest in peace. She was a graceful beauty queen.

    Just three days ago,we spoke to you on phone and you said you were already recovering.....its still a shock to mama as well as the rest of the fam that you are no more. It saddens my heart to know that it would be the last time I would hear from you...I wish yesterday never came.....I wish it didn't have to end this way but again who are we to question you Lord....we have all weeped out our eyes but that wouldn't bring you back. I pray the good Lord grants you eternal rest coz u have been through a lot. Adieu Aunty,we love u but God loves u more. Your memories will forever live. Sleep on....
