NUR rector intimate with former Miss Uganda

During the finals for Miss National University of Rwanda (NUR), the university Rector Silas Lwakabamba was spotted secretly exchanging contacts with former Miss Uganda, Jessica Kyeyune. Scouts have it that the "charming and attractive” Ugandan beauty who was dressed in a long black silk dress with a slit up the side, captured the attention of all as she strutted into the hall. The rector is a lucky man!

NUR beauty pageant – a shambles!

This was total embarrassment. The recent beauty contest for Miss National University of Rwanda (NUR) seemed to go from bad to worse.

It all started with one beauty contestant modeled in a torn outfit. She just about got away with it – many thought it was a fashion statement.

Matters were made worse when the former Miss Campus, Sandra Uwimbabazi, appeared on stage in shoes several sizes too big for her.

It was obvious to anyone that she was uncomfortable - her feet were almost jumping out of the shoes as she struggled to balance her movements.

Another contestant was asked to name Rwanda’s foreign affairs and regional cooperation minister. Who if I’m not mistaken is Rose Museminari NOT Charles Murigande.

As if that was not embarrassing enough, another contestant, one Mugeni Jennine Dominique, confidently modeled with an MTN bandana tired upside down around her chest.

No wonder, Daddy de Maximo, president of the jury, had no choice but to disappointedly admit that the contest did not go well - no single contestant scored above 50 per cent!
