She will represent Sierra Leone in Miss World 2010 in Sanya, People’s Republic of China on October 30th. The first runner-up is Abie Mansaray and the second runner-up is Kadiatu Conteh.
“I am very excited to be the winner of Miss Sierra Leone 2010 and I am ready to represent my country in the world contest,” she said after being crowned.
Neyorny is presently pursuing an international course in Human Resource Management with the Cambridge University attended the St. Joseph’s Primary School and St. Joseph’s Convent. Her debut in beauty pageantry began in 2008 with the coveted Miss Paddy’s Beauty Contest in which she made a strong showing, so much so that she was invited to take part in the continental ‘Face of Africa’ staged in Ghana that same year. Her participation in this year’s Miss Sierra Leone was triggered by a friend of her brother who alerted her by telephone just two weeks to the grand final, and urged her to take part because he had seen the other contestants and thought that Neyonyn could match them.
Neyonyn says she is grateful to a gentleman called Emmanuel, who designed her outfits and counseled her during rehearsal sessions.
Looking at Neyonyn face on, one would not doubt the integrity and knowledge of the judges. She is absolutely confounding to behold.
The organizers of the national beauty pageant, Mammy Yoko Entertainment Enterprises, will support her and see her through to China to take on the world’s most beautiful, next October.

FEMINA MISS INDIA 2010
The coveted title of Pantaloons Femina Miss India (PFMI) World 2010 went to Andheri girl Manasvi Mamgai (center). PFMI International 2010 was Neha Hinge from Pune. Bangalore girl Nicole Faria was crowned PFMI Earth 2010.
Moving indoors from the summer heat, the open-air pageant shifted to the airconditioned environs of the National Centre for Performing Arts (NCPA).
The pageant formalised its tie-up with the Hindi film industry, often the final destination of aspiring beauty queens. Film-makers Madhur Bhandarkar and Vipul Amrutlal Shah shortlisted six finalists, of whom two lucky girls will be crowned Pantaloons Femina Miss India 2010 Bollywood Diva. Each will feature in a film by these directors. However, the wait for these winners will take just a while longer — the announcement will be made on May 16.
Of the 18 finalists, most were from the metro cities — six from Mumbai and five from New Delhi—but the odd participant from Jammu, Dewas and Raipur did leave a mark as well.
True to tradition the successors were crowned by the previous years’ winners. Doing the honours was PFMI World 2009 Pooja Chopra, PFMI Earth 2009 Shriya Kishore and 2002 winner, actor Neha Dhupia. Ekta Choudhary, PFMI Universe 2009, was also present. PFMI 2008 World and Miss World 2008 first runner-up Parvathy Omanakuttan felicitated Dr Sonal Shah of the Richfeel Group for its 10-year association with the Miss India pageant.
