History

Miss Ideal was established in 2014 by Ayotunde Fabamwo, the CEO of House of Twitch. The inaugural titleholder, Princess Adesile, represented Nigeria at the Top Model of Colour 2014 competition in London.[5]In 2016, Nkemneme Queen Amaka became the first contestant from Miss Ideal to represent Nigeria at the Miss Global Beauty Queen pageant in South Korea.[6]

In 2019, the pageant introduced a new format, crowning two winners. Oyin Damola represented Nigeria at Miss Global Beauty, while Sonia Ben-Woko became the Nigeria's first representative at Miss Tourism Worldwide.[7]

Due to the global pandemic in 2020, winner Wendy Abdul was unable to participate in Miss Global Beauty as the event was canceled. In 2021, Miss Ideal acquired the franchise for Top Model of the World, and Wendy Abdul represented Nigeria at the competition.[8][9]

Some Miss Ideal winners have so far achieved commercial success, with Nkemneme Queen becoming the face of 9mobile, and Precious Adigwe being named the face of MTN.
