Does that mean they altered their documents,because to contest for BBN,you have to present your international passport and to get your international passport,you need your NIN,and in turn,your BVN?.

Nengi had been contesting for pageantry since 2013. She won a beauty pageant in 2014 and went on to contest for MBGN in 2017. How is she 20 or 22 when the age limit for such pageantry is 18.
