Nigeria again lost the chance to rule the world when it inched really close to winning the recently concluded Mr. World 2014 which was held recently at the Riviera International Conference Centre, Torbay, UK with our model, Emmanuel Ikubese taking the second position.

Ikubese who is an actor with notable role in MTV series Shuga clinched the silver prize of the first runner up while Denmark Dane Nicklas Pedersen came first.

Ikubese thereafter took to twitter to share his gratitude to God for giving him the opportunity to represent his fatherland- Nigeria.

He was particularly happy for being the most stylish contestant among 46 others. The last time Nigeria came this close to winning Mr. World was in 2010 when the then Mr. Nigeria, Kenneth Okolie came third.
