Nwajagu Samuel has made history as the first African to win the prestigious Mister International pageant.
The Nigerian model, known for his passion for fitness, fashion, and wellness, clinched the title during the global competition held in Thailand this December.
Samuel’s victory follows his success as one of the top three contestants at the Mister International Nigeria 2024 contest, where he earned the national title. His impressive portfolio includes collaborations with leading fashion brands such as Tice Grandiose, Veejayrex Fashion, and Zhalima Grazioni.
Mister International, established in 2006 by the late Alan Sim, is a Singapore-based organisation and ranks among the world’s largest male beauty pageants.
The competition, which attracts participants from over 80 countries annually, is second only to Mister World in terms of national-level representation.
Samuel’s historic win marks a significant milestone for Africa in the global male beauty pageant scene, highlighting Nigeria’s growing influence on the international stage.
