  1. Selection of Ms. Sierra Leone is absolutely absurd, discriminatory and biased in my opinion. Is Freetown the only part of Sierra Leone that is most qualified to present women for beauty contest in which the winner will represent Sierra Leone in the World Beauty Contest etc.? What about other parts of Sierra Leone in the North, Northwest, South, South East and East? Are women from those parts of the country unfit to contest or not provided the opportunity to do so? The sponsors of the program are totally biased and should under special training in studies of diversity and citizenship.
