I will still organize Miss Universe Ghana even without sponsors – Menaye Donkor
Ruth Quarship won the 2017 Miss
Universe beauty pageant, represented Ghana at the international stage
and made it into the top 16 spot, an achievement worthy of celebrating
with much of the praise laid before the doorsteps of the Malz Promotion
headed by Menaye Donkor.
However, Ruth biggest disappointment
so far which she has expressed on several platforms and begged for it
not to be repeated in the future is the fact that she didn’t get the
much-needed support from Ghanaians when she got to the international
stage. She is of the opinion that had she gotten the support in terms of
votes, messages on social media etc. she would have gotten further in
the international competition and probably bring home the crown.
Menaye Donkor and Ruth Quarshie were
held in an interview on 3FM where they touched on few issues regarding
the beauty pageant, some which are known already and there has been a
public cry for a solution so these ladies can actually fly high the flag
of Ghana beyond the fit they normally achieve.
Paramount among them is the lack of
support; they shared their views on that with Menaye adding that if only
the ministry of tourism can come on board to partner with us, miss
universe could do extremely well both nationally, and internationally
bearing the name of Ghana. She was quick to point out it is still a baby
under her and she is trying to nurture it to attain the needed respect.
She added there are several ways the
government can sell Ghana, an example is when Ruth was in the Miss
Universe international beauty pageant house, her wardrobe was purely
made in Ghana, now, if one of the ladies ask her of what she is wearing
and she mentions the brand’s name and add, it is made in Ghana. That is
verbal marketing even though we might overlook it, for all you know, the
lady might go and look for the brand and then start researching more
about Ghana.
Furthermore, both ladies agreed on one
thing, that is the Miss Universe Ghana organization under the belt of
Menaye Donkor seeks for sponsorship to push the event, all the ladies
have to do is prove their outer beauty matches the inner one (Beauty
with Brains). Ruth Said at a point of the interview that, when she was
leaving for the international stage, everything from her bag to what she
would wear were handled for her, all she had to do was just show up at
the airport, board the plane, and Menaye would check on her every single
morning to find out how she is doing, in all, she is happy with the
treatment she had from Malz Promotion and its entire team.
Lack of room and time to prepare Ruth
sufficiently for the international stage was among the few things laid
down by Menaye that she thinks affected her process, other than that she
would have gone even beyond the top 16 spot, hence, they have allocated
more time to prepare the next miss universe queen from Ghana for this
year to adequately be equipped to represent Ghana on the international
stage.
