To former Miss Tourism Nigeria and Special Assistant on Tourism to the Anambra State Government, Collete Nwadike, former Miss Anambra, Chidinma Okeke, who was dethroned for her role in a widely circulated lesbian video, is far from being a lesbian.
Few months ago, the Miss Anambra 2015’s lesbianism videos generated lots of controversies. One of the videos showed Okeke using cucumber on her vagina, before getting it on with another female partner. But, speaking with The Point at the press conference on her new series, ‘African Beauty,’ featuring Jide Kosoko and Funky Mallam, Nwadike insisted that Chidinma was never a lesbian, saying that she was just a victim of circumstances.
She said, “Whatever happened to her could be circumstances, but she was not drugged and it was not her organisation that set her up.
“Miss Anambra is an organisation I am close to. I know Chidinma well, which explains why her story affected me personally. I feel sorry for her. But being judgmental will not solve the problem.”
She lamented that the ugly incident was not enough for the public to label beauty queens as lesbians. “That beauty queens are lesbians is a blatant lie. If you tell me beauty queens are lesbians, I would say you are the worst lair.
Chindima is not a lesbian, so saying beauty queens are lesbians is not even close to the truth. There is this sisterly bond among queens.
When you know the next person beside you is also a queen, you like to share things with her. There is nothing more attached to it,” she said.
Nwadike opened up that she could have fallen a victim of similar situation, had she not been forewarned earlier or been extremely careful. She narrated, “For every beauty queen, especially on a good platform, you are vulnerable.
My organisation (Miss Tourism Nigeria) even warned me beforehand. They told me that people would approach me, they would claim to be all kinds and they would want to lure me into things by all means.
