@Former Miss Ethiopia>>>>>> WELL YOU KNOW THERE IS NO LAW AGAINST PEDDLING FALSE DREAMS IN ETHIOPIA, WE ALL KNOW IT IS THE NORM RATHER THAN THE EXCEPTION. Every one has jumped on the pageant bandwagon to try and make money by coning sponsors and exploit the gullible Girls.

For the record there is no pageant called: Miss World Cultural Heritage, it is called:
MISS CULTURAL HERITAGE WORLD. I invite readers to Google this pageant

Ethiopian Village Adventure Playground carefully and deliberately reworded the name and location of the pageant to confuse the sponsors and the public in to thinking it was MISS WORLD 2010.

Last year Ethiopian Village Adventure Playground was also claiming they were giving 60,000 Birr Diamond rings as the top prize, one would have to ask why give a 19 year old girl in Ethiopia a 60,000 diamond ring as her prize?

IF ONLY LYING WAS AN OLYMPIC SPORT……….

This is very sad and so frustrating. The miss Ethiopia pageant should be given a bit more respect. This so embarrassing to most of us, but we are powerless to do anything about it. Just read this from the reporter newspaper and judge yourself: “The 19-year-old, secondyear Addis Ababa University law student won the beauty competition held at the Addis Ababa Hilton Hotel after fears escalated that it might not materialize. The highly publicized show announced that it might take place at the Addis Ababa Hilton Hotel over the Sheger FM radio for the organizer had not booked the venue until the last minute.” The report also quoted the organizers that Miss Ethiopia 2010 will take part in the Miss World Cultural Heritage 2010 in South Africa. The event takes place in China, not South Africa. What does this tell you?

Somebody, please get a handle on this? What is the law against peddling false dreams to young girls?

VERY IMPORTANT NOTICE:

I kindly inform you and your readers that head of the Ethiopian Village Adventure Playground has been given notice last April that he is not allowed to operate on our behalf or use the name of MISS PROGRESS INTERNATIONAL organization and this means that no contestants selected by him and/or his organization can send delegate from Ethiopia to our world finals in Italy.

His recent statement to the press that he will send a delegate from Ethiopia, the second runner up, Sosina Girma to Miss Progress International in Italy, is 100% false, we wil not accept her as he has no rights or agreement with us to do this.

I kindly invite the readers to immediately notify me via email of any news of collaboration with Miss Progress International at borrillo@quipo.it

Best Regards,
Giuseppe Borrillo
Miss Progress International
Pageant Director

Miss World 2010 is taking placle in China not South Africa, so Murad is wrong on that part.

You have to give it up to Willam Wong, the Marketing Manager of Yangfan Motors. He did not get all the publicity he was seeking for his company from the sponsorship, so he is getting it now! How many of you have heard of Yangfan Motors or Lifan 300 before? I have not. That’s called marketing folks. Mr. Wong should contact me if he is ever in the U.S., I will hire him in a minute. Trust me he will eventually hand over the car, but he is going to squeeze all the juice out of this publicity first. Genius!

Give the car to the girl first and then duke it out in court, that’s your buziness. She got nothing to do with it.

This is hilarious. If I was the judge hearing this case, if you can’t produce and show me Exhibit “A”, a written and signed contract, then there is no case. Whichever way you look at it, the loosers are the girls here and of course Miss Ethiopia, who was obviously duped, either way. Case closed.
