cumulative score rise above other contenders on the show inspite of recording low marks through
voting.
The show which is aptly called MANBERS '22 is an empowerment and beauty reality show aimed at
empowering the Nigeria girl-child through the beauty of arts and skills acquisition. It is by all means
an avenue for the Nigerian girl to showcase and put to good use her creative talents as a tool for
promoting national unity through promotion of the nation's vast cultural heritage.
MANBERS is a brainchild of Oshodi Arts & Culture Gallery Foundation, a foundation owned by
Oshodi Arts Gallery, reputed as the largest Arts collection centre in Nigeria.
30 finalists were camped for 14 days in Lagos to embark on a journey of skills acquisition, promotion

after legendary amazons in Nigeria history, Ladi Kwali, Margaret Ekpo, Queen Moremi, Queen
Amina, Queen Nana Asma'u, and Flora Nwapa.
Every group is saddled with different tasks to measure and inculcate the spirit of teamwork and
cooperation.

contestants were taken through 6 skills, Make Up, photography, Batik, painting, catering, and social
media marketing.

competitions, and dramatic performances. They also had a feel of Lagos as they paid a courtesy

Elegushi.
