Front Page \| Previous \| Next Nigerian crowned Miss World SUN CITY (SOUTH AFRICA), NOV. 17. Miss Nigeria has become the first African to win the Miss World title when she took the crown and her seat on a zebra skin lined throne. Wearing a lime green, body hugging gown, Ms. Agbani Darego, 18, waved to a cheering crowd as she took her victory walk yesterday in Sun City, a glitzy resort in the heart of South Africa's bush country. Ms. Darego, her hair piled into a top knot, said when she looked in the mirror she saw ``a young girl who wants to be a computer scientist as well as a super model.'' Organisers said about one billion television viewers may have watched the extravaganza, hosted by Jerry Springer of the American tabloid talk show fame. - AP Send this article to Friends by E-Mail
