Oluwatobi Emmanuel Adesanya, son of former Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) staff and erstwhile Chief Operating Officer of the Nigeria National League, Mr. Emmanuel Adesanya, has been crowned Mister Nigeria. The ceremony took place on Sunday  at Oriental Hotel and Suites in Lekki, Lagos.

Representing Ogun State, Oluwatobi competed against 100 contestants from across Nigeria. The competition was narrowed down to 37 representatives, one from each state, where he showcased his potential to represent Nigeria on a global level.

Known as KINGS, Tobi has a background as a fashion designer, model, and face model. He has achieved success in various pageants, previously earning recognition as Mister FULAFIA. Tobi remains committed to pushing boundaries and pursuing his dreams in fashion and modeling.

Tobi's versatility, dexterity, eloquence, and charisma impressed the judges. He advanced to the final top six, which included contestants from Akwa Ibom, Enugu, Imo, Rivers, Anambra, and Ogun. He then made it to the top three alongside representatives from Anambra and Enugu, ultimately emerging as the winner of the 2024 Mister Nigeria title.

As the new Mister Nigeria, the Ogun State native will represent the country at the Manhunt International competition, to be held next year in Bangkok, Thailand.
