At the grand coronation night of Miss Earth Nigeria 2018 held on 8th September 2018, Maristella Okpala was crowned the new queen. She will now represent Nigeria in the upcoming Miss Earth 2018. Marsitella succeeds and was crowned by Eucharia Akani, Miss Earth Nigeria 2017.

A dental Technologist, cabin crew member and model, Maristella sure knows how to do it all. She was also a part of our Top 5 favourite contestants. Maristella is also an ex-beauty queen which very well helped her in winning this competition as well. The newly crowned queen will now represent Nigeria in the upcoming Miss Earth 2018.

As an advocate of a safer environment, the newly crowned queen’s advocacy is for a safer and more sustainable environment. She wishes to turn wasted plastic which terribly harms the environment into assets for the global community. There is no doubt that the gorgeous diva will give a strong competition to the other delegates in Miss Earth 2018 as well.

Nigeria is yet to win the title of Miss Earth. The closest the nation has come to winning was in the years 2007 and 2008 when Miss Earth Nigeria 2007 Stacey Garvey and Miss Earth Nigeria 2008 Uko Ezinne secured a place in the Top 16 in Miss Earth 2007 and Miss Earth 2008 respectively.

Miss Earth 2018 will be held on 3rd November 2018 in the Mall of Asia Arena, Boracay, the Philippines where Miss Earth 2017 Karen Ibasco will crown her successor at the end of the event finale.

Congratulations to the newly crowned queen!
