Nwajagu Samuel Chinemerem is the first African to earn the title of Mister International, marking a historic occasion for both Nigeria and Africa.
To win the title, the 23-year-old software engineer faced off against more than 40 competitors from throughout the globe. The 16th edition of the Mister International pageant, which took place yesterday, December 14, 2024, in Island Hall, Fashion Island in Bangkok, Thailand, brought together participants to celebrate diversity on a worldwide scale and showcase their abilities.
Samuel’s charisma and self-assurance were evident, and the departing titleholder, Kim Thitisan Goodburn of Thailand, gave him his climax.
This accomplishment contributes to Nigeria’s increasing visibility in international pageants. Chidimma Adetshina recently made history by being the first Nigerian to place as Miss Universe’s first runner-up. Now, Samuel’s victory win marks yet another milestone for the country.
In his appreciation speech, Samuel shared an inspiring message:
I feel very great and I am very happy for the support each and every one of you gave me throughout this journey. My message is a message of hope and resilience. I want to encourage every one that you are capable of making a difference regardless of where you come from no matter where you are. All great things starts from small beginnings. Don’t be afraid to take that bold step because where dreams meet determination is where greatness follows.
Congratulations Sam! We are proud of you!
Live with Purpose, Love with Passion. Remember to be happy
One ❤️❤️❤️
