“When I was first crowned, I was told my prizes would be $1500 (minus 500 to pay for my crown and cash), a one year supply of LALA motives makeup, to model Van Vicker’s clothing line, and a trip to Ghana to work on my platform. My parents paid for my flight to Ghana.”
According to Miss Ivy Preko, her father footed all bills to help her project come to light.
“My father paid for the hotels that we slept in. I booked the interviews that I attended, I got to meet Mrs. Konadu through the organization that I’m ambassador of.
“The things that I did for the widows were my own money. Up till today, I have not received not even a dime from the organizers but rather various threats to embarrass me and my family on social media.”
