Critics can keep talking, Miss Nigeria crown already on my head —Shatu Garko

Shatu Garko

The 44th Miss Nigeria, Shatu Garko, has slammed those who criticised her for participating in the beauty pageant because she is a Muslim.

The 18-year-old hijab-wearing queen said though critics may continue to talk, the Miss Nigeria crown is already on her head and there is nothing she can do about it.

The PUNCH had earlier reported that the Commander General of the Kano Hisbah Board, Harun Ibn-Sina, said that the Sharia Police would invite the parents of Garko for allowing her to participate in the Miss Nigeria pageant on December 17, 2021 at the Landmark Centre in Victoria Island, Lagos, Nigeria.

Garko, who wore a hijab during the pageant, had won the beauty pageant and took home the prize of N10m, one-year residency in a luxury apartment, brand new car, and many brand ambassadorship opportunities.

However, the Hisbah boss said Garko’s participation is illegal and unknown to Islam, adding that the parents of the teenager would be invited so that other ladies won’t model after Garko.

The Director of the Muslim Rights Concern, Prof. Ishaq Akintola, had also backed the Hisbah Board’s decision to grill the parents of Garko, saying the beauty pageant is not different from television reality show, Big Brother Naija.

But some northern activists including Aisha Yesufu, and Shehu Sani had roasted the Hisbah Board over the planned invitation and the Board later disowned the plan.

PASSING LIFE LESSON TO FRIENDS AND FAMILY.

You suffered before you got to where you are today does not mean others too have to suffer to get to where they want to be tomorrow, especially family and friends. Give out hand out to your relatives and close friends and any other person out there you can help. Remember you can only be truly successfull if you have made others become successfull. Is it not better for many people to show up in many flashy cars than many showing up in one flashy car think about it. Of course there are people that no matter what you do to help them out, they will never change. Still can not say that they are not those who yearn for change. Help as many as you can because that's all that matters in the end. You die today all that you have will be shared amongst your offspring which can be squandered in a day and they may still forget you. But the people you help will remember you till they die.
