Miss Kenya, Evelyn Njambi Thungu, made Kenya and Africa proud at the Miss World 2016 Pageant which held on Sunday.

L-R Miss Philippines, Miss Dominican Republic, Miss Indonesia, Miss Puerto Rico and Miss Kenya at the 2016 Miss World Crowning Ceremony.

The 22-year-old finished fourth position, and was the only African contestant to make it to the top 5 stage of the competition, in Oxen Hill, Maryland (USA).

Miss Ghana also made it to the top 20 stage.

Puerto Rico’s Stephanie Del Valle was crowned Miss World 2016, with Dominican Republic and Indonesia getting the first and second runner ups position.

Sadly, Miss Nigeria, Debbie Collins, did not make it to the top 5, nor the top 10, not even the top 20.

Miss World 2001, Agbani Darego, has been the only Nigerian to win the competition since it started in1951.

Hopefully, next year’s Nigerian contestant will take us back to the glory days of 2001.
