Nigerian model Chidera Mbamara made the country proud after clinching the position of third runner-up at the prestigious Mr International competition held on 25 September in Nonthaburi, Thailand.

Mr Mbamara, not only secured a position among the top five, but was also crowned Mr international Africa.

He represented Nigeria at the global male pageant and stood out among contestants from across the world with his charisma, poise, and stage presence. 

His performance earned him a placement in the highly competitive contest, which celebrates talent, personality, and cultural representation.

The Mr International pageant, regarded as one of the leading male beauty competitions worldwide, provides a platform for young men to showcase not only their looks but also their intelligence and advocacy.

Asked how he felt during an interview after the event, he said, “I feel good, I feel happy, it’s not easy to make top 5 in the Mr international competition let alone win Mr international Africa.”

Mr Mbamara, a graduate of the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, began his modelling career while still a student. 

Over the years, he has built a reputation in the fashion and pageantry scene for his discipline and striking presence on the runway. 

He has previously participated in local contests before earning the chance to represent Nigeria on the global stage.

Beyond modelling, Mr Mbamara’s social media platform displays his support for fitness, confidence, and personal growth.
