Victoria Ana

…”Ana lied that we weren’t queried before suspension – Anie
…Ana has a history of dethronement in all 3 contests she’s participated – findings
Suspended Cross River Most Beautiful Girl (CRMBG) queen, Victoria Ana’s denial to allegations by Belle’Sabel Grooming Agency (BGA), the organisers of the event has shocked co-suspended queen, Christy Anie, who was suspended as CRMBG Tourism; even as one of Nigeria’s fast rising writer and literary critic, Onyekachi Onuoha fears making any comments on the loopholes of Ana’s letter personally directed to ex-Most Beautiful Girl in Nigeria (MBGN) queen, Isabella Agbor Ayuk would further ruin the suspended queen.
In addition, beauty queens and pageantry organisers have also granted media interviews condemning Ana’s steps as not befitting of a queen as, according to them, she has failed those who look up to her role model.
These comes few days after she, Ana took to open media space to reply her suspension query said to be written for her by an attorney, which critics fault did not pass for a formal letter as it was not only a direct attack on former MBGN queen, because she wrote to her personally instead of her management as befitting of a formal letters; but the letter’s tone were conscious attempts to bring down the image of the organization, she claims to represent. What they argue is unbefitting of a queen.
Co-suspended queen writes Ana, says she lied she wasn’t issued queries before suspension
Meanwhile, Anie, who was also suspended as CRMBG Tourism broke her silence to reply Ana while cautioning her of possible implications her open comments tell on her as a queen. Anie said she made her letter public because personal communications with Ana on phone to avoid being advised wrongly fail to yield result.
Anie’s open letter reads in part: “For the records: Ana said Bella never has warned us on anything… She has on several occasions. Isabella Ayuk has warned us face to face and on phone calls on what she considers misconducts and she still forgives us and took us as her younger sisters while laughing through the situation.”
“The organization listened to every one of us carefully before asking us to step aside while they look into the issue, we were issued suspension letters and we were given 7 days to write officially pending when the issues will be resolved.”
“I personally replied the organization and am waiting to hear from them and personally I think that was what was required of the other Queens. Ana would have done same too and allowed BGA to their reasoning.”
Cautioning the step aside queen, Anie added, “I would rather say in blond terms that it’s irrelevant to try to paint an organization that wants the very best for you ‘BLACK ,’ just as my queen is doing over a couple of days now. I consider it acts of indiscipline that is not befitting of the queen she is.”
“We all had different reasons for our suspension and believe in one way or the other; we probably might have done these things unknowingly. The reason I owned up to mine in responds to the query issued me.”
“I see CRMBG as a learning ground. Trying to justify yourself by saying negative things about Isabella Ayuk of Belle’Sabel Grooming Agency is absolutely wrong. And only prevails on judging us as unresponsive queens.”
“We were suspended and not dethroned for crying out loud,” Anie reiterates.
“What are we teaching those looking up to us as supposed role models?” Anie worries.
Adding that “I also think, we were meant for a pressuring time as this, where our humility is put through test, and capabilities to handle issues with best standards as queens revealed.”
“I personally have spoken to Ana on phone to give her my candid advise, but to no avail…this is utter plans by whoever is advising her actions to plotting a down fall of Belle’sabel modeling/grooming agency and Isabella Ayuk.”
Ex-MBGN queen has a heart of gold as she singlehandedly sponsors CRMBG
“I have known Miss Isabella Agbor Ayuk to be a lady with a heart of gold. For instance, she would never let us lodge in a hotel whenever we visit her on occasional visits to Abuja, we stay in her house, drive her own personal car; and she admonishes us to always feel free with her, she opens her doors to our families and friends in Abuja who came visiting.”
“She has always defended us even when people spoke ill about her Queens most especially Victoria Ana. Victoria can’t deny this fact.”
“She has always defended us even when people spoke ill about her Queens most especially Victoria Ana. Victoria can’t deny this fact.”
“Isabella Ayuk never disturbs us, what she keeps saying is”
“Act and behave like the Queen that you are and try to touch lives positively because in the end that is all that matters. So I wonder why Victoria is allowing herself to be used to say dastardly things about her organization/her.”
When the chips are down, where and we’re restored as queens, where will we hide our faces?
“I see CRMBG as a learning ground” Anie advises.
On the other hand, Onyekachi Onuaha, known for his book ‘the Moonlight Lady’ said he fears that any comment he makes about Ana’s letter to ex-MBGN queen may ruin her career while currently finding ways to contact the step aside queen to offer her pro bono professional advice.
“My interpretation (of the letter) will destroy her.”
“I am looking at the implications.”
“My comment will be too great for her. I don’t want to contribute to the problem,” Onuoha added while seeking to be in touch with Ana to offer pro bono advice.
On her part, Miss Fashion Cross River, Eno Idungafa says “I really feel if the queen had faulted and she was humble enough to apologize sincerely to her management, she should have been forgiven; I don’t think the whole issue should have escalated if there was proper communication among the two, safe for the queen not wanting to accept responsibilities.”
“It is very important not to have issues with your management as a queen, because you’re not only a role model, you’re also an idol; you’re being looked up to, having issues would just be like you cannot curtail people, you cannot bear people, you cannot handle them, as a queen you’re supposed to have an attitude of tolerance.”
Also, Mr. Independence Nigeria 2015, Betiang Amadeus “I don’t think it’s called for; we need to play the humble role, not them (BGA); they have every right and I think, you just need to be humble and submit.”
Mr. Olu Euba, CEO of Galaxy Modeling and Entertainment Agency who is also Strategy Manager for Mr. and Miss Independence Nigeria described the suspended CRMBG queen’s response as heresy to the pageant that has provided her a platform and opportunity to be in the spotlight.
“She has to be humble and respect the organizers who brought her to limelight,” Olu said.
It could also recalled that just shortly after her reign, pageantry enthusiasts, including the publisher of CrossRiverWatch.com, Mr. Agba Jalingo had taken to social media space to question the validity of the age of Ana as they repeatedly recalled the suspended queen age entries in previous contests

What's the meaning of all this nonsense for crying out lord. Ah.
Promise not fulfilled but doing another thing,
I never responded anything bad about Victoria Ana, I was asked a general question about beauty kings and queens which I responded, Victoria had earlier lamented about Isabella not sponsoring her to events and occasions, she sponsoring herself to occasions without the help of CRMBG organizers,her restrictions from public transportation without her unfulfilled promised car,which is a bad image to pageantry organisers,Victoria is like a family to me, I can't write "bad" about her, the media is a platform that can turn people into confusion , turn your stories against you .
