Favour Rufus, a lady who went blind at the age of 8 has won the 2022 Miss Port Harcourt City Beauty Pageant.
In an interview with BBC Pidgin, Favour revealed that she is blind on her left eye and needs constant treatment to use the other.
She said her right eye also goes blind if she misses her treatment. Yet, her visual interment hasn’t stopped her from excelling in life.
In the video shared on Facebook, Favour said she started having problems with her eyes at the tender age of 6.
When she turned 8, doctors confirmed that she has lost her left eye completely and that she would be needing constant care to use the remaining one.
Favour narrated that she entered into the competition believing that she can do it even though many people discouraged her.
She contested alongside 17 other women but she came out tops. She appeared in the video alongside her mother who she described as her strong support.
