Summary & Significance

Joy Mojisola Raimi — Queen Tiwa — is a vibrant example of ambition, resilience, and purpose. Born in Port Harcourt but hailing from Osun State, her journey from a challenging childhood to the national and international pageantry stage demonstrates remarkable strength and determination. Her background in theatre arts, combined with her modeling and pageantry successes, shows her multifaceted talents. Beyond beauty and performance, her humanitarian vision — through The Love for Humanity Project — underscores a deeper commitment to social change.

As Miss World Nigeria 2025, she stands poised to carry Nigeria’s name on the global stage, while using her platform to advocate for compassion, upliftment, and female empowerment.
