Popular beauty queen, Agbani Darego and her husband Ishaya Danjuma have welcomed their second together.
The former Miss World took to her Instagram page on Friday, December 4, 2020, where she announced the news in a concealed style.
After sharing the good news, her friends including, Dakore Egbuson-Akande, Munachi Abii, and Idia Aisien all took to her comment section to congratulate her on the arrival of her child.
In 2001, Darego was crowned Most Beautiful Girl in Nigeria. Contrary to popular belief, Darego did not replace Valerie Peterside after the latter was dethroned as she had competed in rival pageant Miss Nigeria. A few months later she was a contestant at Miss Universe, and became the first Nigerian to place among the top 10 semi-finalists, finishing seventh overall. She was the only top ten contestant to wear a modest maillot as opposed to a revealing bikini during the swimsuit competition.
In November that year, she became the first indigenous African to claim the Miss World title (Past African winners Penelope Coelen and Anneline Kriel from South Africa, are of European descent, and Antigone Costanda, who represented Egypt in 1954 is of Greek heritage). Darego’s victory was widely welcomed in her home country, and her one-year tenure included goodwill trips and scheduled appearances on behalf of the pageant, and a national honour of MFR.
