Chief Agbani Darego who was the first indigenous African to win ‘miss world’ was born in Lagos to a family of 8. At age two, her family relocated to Port-Harcourt where she was raised in D-Line.

Darego attended Bereton Montessori Nursery and Primary School, and at ten was sent to boarding school in a bid to shield her from her mother who battled breast cancer. Her mother, Inaewo, owned a rice trading business and a clothing boutique, but died two years after her daughter’s move to boarding school. Darego has spoken of how the loss prepared her for tough challenges in the future.

In 2001, Darego was crowned ‘most beautiful girl in Nigeria. A few months later she was a contestant at miss universe and became the first Nigerian to place among the top 10 semi-finalists, finishing seventh overall. She was the only top ten contestant to wear a modest maillot as opposed to a revealing bikini during the swimsuit competition.
