Lynda Chuba-Ikpeazu

Lynda Chuba-Ikpeazu is an ex-beauty queen, ex-model, buisnesswoman and now politician.

The daughter of a judge, Chuba-Ikpeazu was educated in Nigeria, England, and America, where she worked as a model. She now holds degrees in Law.

Pagent Career

In 1986, Chuba-Ikeazu was won the very first Most Beautiful Girl in Nigeria pageant, and thus started the trend for the domination of Igbo women in the pageant. Apart from representing Nigeria in the Miss Africa Intercontinental pageant and Miss Universe 1987, she also took part in Miss Africa 1987, which she won. This led to more modelling offers, and she spent three months in London promoting an airline in Gambia.

Post Pagent Career

After her reign as Miss Africa, Chuba-Ikpeazu became a business woman, specialising in oil servicing. Today Chuba-Ikpeazu rescides in Abuja, and is a member of the National House of Representatives.
