Queen Stephanie James, the current Miss BMP (Beauty Model Petite) has advised young ladies to avoid being lured into sex by desperate men who are misinterpreting the reason for the 14 February celebration.
Queen Stephanie, put smile on the faces of orphans is one feat that gives her unquantifiable joy and satisfaction, said many people have misinterpreted the essence of St Valentine’s Day to satisfy their sexual urge and other selfish interests.
According to her, “it is a day we are expected to demonstrate that we love our neighbours as ourselves –agape love. Not a day you buy snacks and drinks for a lady and expect sex in return. It’s really sad and we seriously need to enlighten the girl child about this.”
She added that “many young ladies have confided in me that they ignorantly lost their virginities on a day like this, and it is part of the reason I have personally been trying to reach out to other ladies, teenagers in particular so that they won’t fall victims of some perverts and desperate men in future.”
Since Stephanie emerged as Miss BMP, she has been using her office to impact positively on orphans in the country by donating food items and other relief materials to them.
“It is actually not about the physical materials that I donated, but the joy of being with the kids –giving them hope that God has a plan for each of them in life. Come to think of it, it could have been anyone of us in their shoes, if not for the grace of God,” Queen Stephanie said.
She added that as a beauty queen, “my priority is to take care of the orphans, and I will do this passionately with everything God has blessed me with. Truth is that we have many Nigerians who regularly give to orphanages, but it is still not enough. I will implore more people to join the train.”
