Ibiagbanidokibubo Asenite Darego popularly known as Agbani Darego was born on 22 December 1982. She is a Nigerian model, best known as the first Black African Miss World.
Darego hails from Abonnema, Rivers, and was born into a family of eight children. At ten, Darego was sent to boarding school in a bid to shield her from her mother who had breast cancer. Darego's mother died two years later, and her daughter has spoken of how the loss prepared her for the future.[ As a teenager, Darego longed to be a model, and despite her conservative father's wishes, she auditioned for the M-Net Face of Africa modelling competition, but was not chosen as a finalist.[ As a model, Darego appeared in print adverts for boutique chain Collectables.
Darego achieved greater success when she won Most Beautiful Girl in Nigeria in 2001.

She placed among the top 10 semi-finalists, finishing seventh. She was the only Black semi-finalist that year - and the only finalist to wear a maillot as opposed to the more popular bikini.
Due to her busy work schedule, Darego left the University of Port Harcourt after she won Miss World, she Studied Psychology at the New York University and graduated in May 2012. Formerly with Next Model Management, she is currently signed to Ford Models in New York. In 2002-2004 she was a spokesperson for L'Oréal cosmetics., and is now promoting Arik Airlines.
