Museveni Congratulates Miss Uganda, Advises Her To Stop Wearing Indian Hair

Quiin Abenakyo, the newly crowned Miss World Africa met President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni at State House Entebbe upon her arrival on Wednesday.

Museveni congratulated the beauty queen upon being crowned Miss World Africa and finishing her studies in a long statement.

However President Museveni openly told Quiin Abenakyo to stop wearing Indian hair and maintain the natural African hair.

"Abenakyo is indeed a tall, beautiful Musoga girl. My only concern is that she was wearing Indian hair. I have encouraged her to keep her natural, African hair. We must show African beauty in its natural form," President Museveni advised his 'muzukulu.'

Below is a full statement from President Museveni after meeting Quiin Abenakyo.

I congratulate our muzukulu on these accolades and also salute her for recently completing her university degree course. She is a true definition of beauty coupled with brains.

Muzukulu Quiin Abenakyo, the current Miss Uganda, who was recently crowned Miss World Africa, this evening paid a courtesy call on me at State House, Entebbe.

She also told me she is an advocate of responsible living among young people. She is specifically focusing on helping young girls lead responsible, healthy lifestyles.

I must commend Abenakyo’s parents for raising her with values. Many young people today rush into promiscuity and ruin their lives, yet a little patience and completing school would give them a foundation on which to enjoy the rest of their lives with their spouses.

Abenakyo is indeed a tall, beautiful Musoga girl. My only concern is that she was wearing Indian hair. I have encouraged her to keep her natural, African hair. We must show African beauty in its natural form.

Again, I congratulate Muzukulu Abenakyo on this feat. Going forward, the government will support the Miss Uganda Foundation.
