1. She’s contested in multiple beauty pageants

Many people know that Nengi contested for Most Beautiful Girl Nigeria in 2017. Although she didn’t win, she placed among top 5.

Many people already know this. What a lot of people don’t know is that prior to MBGN, Nengi actually contested and WON the Miss Peace Bayelsa Beauty Pageant. She was once a reigning Miss Peace Bayelsa. On the show, she also said that she participated in and won a pageant called The Nigerian Queen when she was 16, although she lied that she was 18 to enter the pageant.

2. Her age is a mystery

Speaking of her age, this is quite a popular debacle but many still don’t know about it.

When Nengi contested for MBGN in 2017, her age at the time was declared to be 23.

Then, when she entered into the Big Brother house in 2020, her age was declared as 22.

Till today, people are confused. I’m confused. The maths simply doesn’t add up. How old is she really?

3. Both of her parents are late

Nengi is unfortunately an orphan. Both of her parents are late and she has one sibling.

4. She doesn’t like Kevin Hart movies or humor

On her Twitter, one that she had from January 2016 and tweeted on till January 2017, she spilled a couple of things.

One of such things was that apparently, she doesn’t like Kevin Hart movies.

She said:

I never want to see a Kevin Hart movie again. Comedy has to be about wit, not people acting stupid.

So if I'm not laughing when you keep a straight face and act/tell a joke, then I'm not going to even patronize funny gestures with a smile.

5. She does love Falz though

Continuing her tirade about Kevin Hart, she rounded it up by saying:

PS- I will watch Falz skits a thousand times.

6. She’s a Communications major

Nengi studied Communications at the University of Port Harcourt. She says that this is her biggest achievement.

7. She’s a dog lover

She has two dogs which she describes as her “babies”.

8. She’s a supporter of Ben Murray Bruce

Or at least, a fan of the outspoken businessman.

She once met him and took to Snapchat to write as a caption, “Let’s make common sense”… a slogan synonymous with the outspoken man.

9. She’s as tired of Nigeria’s wahala as we are.

One day, while dawning heavy makeup, Nengi took to her Twitter to write:

A bomb goes off at a refugee camp nd Nigerians say 'mistakes happen'..And that's it.This is our life: A life of many mistakes and no justice

The question is- What is the retribution for these crimes or "mistakes"?

She’s just as tired of the state of the country as we are. Which self-respecting Nigerian isn’t though?

10. She’s a deep thinker.

Or at least that’s what her tweets implied. She constantly went on and on posting some very wise words and ruminations she has. She credits it to her mom though.

11. She’s a fan of body art

Specifically henna tattoos. In one picture she posted, she can be seen dawning a henna tattoo on her right hand. She captioned the picture, #IWOKEUPLIKETHIS

That’s All.
