Nigerians are rallying behind Gladys Gimbiya Ade-Zaky as she represents the nation in the Mrs BRICS category at the 2026 International Beauty Pageant, with public votes critical ahead of the March 7 grand finale.
The Kaduna-born artist and women’s advocate arrived in Tatarstan as part of Nigeria’s historic three-woman delegation to the Kazan Expo Exhibition Centre, marking the country’s debut as a BRICS partner nation. She joins Blessing Ihuaenyi (Miss BRICS) and 11-year-old Isabel Dike (Little Miss BRICS) in flying the Green-White-Green on the global stage.
Ade-Zaky’s platform champions women’s empowerment, leadership for married women, and cultural diplomacy through the “Beauty with a Purpose” initiative.
Her participation carries diplomatic weight as Nigeria strengthens ties with BRICS member nations since attaining partner status in early 2025.
Fans can vote through the official BRICS Beauty Contest portal, selecting the Mrs BRICS category. Social media engagement using hashtags #MissBRICS, #NigeriaToTheWorld, and #BRICS2026 also counts toward visibility.
The pageant culminates on March 7 at Kazan Expo Exhibition Center.
Let’s unite to ensure Ade-Zaky brings the crown home. Vote now!
