Anita Queen Uwagbale is a Nigerian businesswoman and beauty pageant titleholder.[1]

Edo-native Uwagbale spent most of her early years in Lagos until she gained admission into Madonna University, Port Harcourt to study Accountancy.[2] As an undergraduate, Uwagbale was crowned Most Beautiful Girl in Nigeria 2004, enabling her to take part in Miss Universe[3] and Miss World later in the year. At Miss World 2004 Uwagbale placed among the top 15 semi-finalists and was named African Continental Queen of Beauty.[4] As MBGN, Uwagbale's platform was Environmental Pollution.

From 2008 to 2018,[5] Uwagbale was married to businessman Tom Iseghohi, whom she met halfway through her reign as MBGN. Following a registry ceremony in America, the couple hosted a society wedding in Lagos in 2008, and are now the parents of two sons and one daughter.[6] In 2009, he was accused of embezzling NITEL shareholders, but the charges were dropped.[7]

Uwagbale continued to study in America while running her businesses which include motherhood retail chain The Baby Store.[8][9][10] In May 2011, Uwagbale's baby store opened in the Chase Mall, along Ademola Adetokunbo street, Victoria Island, Lagos, Nigeria.[11]
