MBGN, organised by Silverbird Group for the purpose of sending representatives to international competitions, was originally known as Miss Universe Nigeria and was renamed MBGN after Silverbird obtained the license to send delegates to both Miss World and Miss Universe. Over the last 27 years, the pageant has maintained its distinctive style and refined taste, remaining the most recognizable and consistent beauty pageant in Nigeria.
