ABOUT US
The Queen of Igbo land is one of its kinds within the larger Igbo community of Nigeria; which spans across 7 states in Nigeria and beyond. The Igbos are one of the three major ethnic groups in Nigeria and as per the last census, the Igbos are believed to make up 30% 0f Nigeria.
With the called to action by reputable Igbo organization and Igbo state government to promote and encourage Igbo Language and culture, DKC Modelling Entertainment answered that call to use this pageant to promote Igbo language and Cultures.
While, we put emphasis into a woman beauty, unique talents and independence, this pageant is more than that. We also want women who can express themselves in Igbo language and do understand the culture. The eventual winner is expected to traverse all the Igbo speaking states promoting the language and culture in addition to other charities that the organization promotes.
The organization head office is located in Owerri Imo state.
The New Organization Change:
In building upon the impressive and positive events that DKC modelling has being doing for the last few years, a merger and acquisition of 70% of the company equity shares was recently finalized.
In October 2019, GREENLIFE CONSULTING LIMITED and VALSYSTEMS SERVICES LIMITED purchased 70% equity in the organization and the new organization is now called Queen of Igboland LLC; while DKC Modelling now owes 30% of the new organization.
This is a cash swap agreement, where the GREENLIFE CONSULTING LIMITED and VALSYSTEMS SERVICES LIMITED will inject money into the new organization to make it the prime pageant in Igbo Land.
