A PIECE FROM FLEX ENTERTAINMENT NEWSPAPER........
Miss Lamisi after pulling 36.33
percent of total votes became the first runner up of the 2009 Ghana's Most
Beautiful pageant but events twisted and she was announced the new crown holder
by the event organizers TV3 Network...A year and half down the line Flex Newspaper caught up
with her to know what new challenges the crown brought and how far has she gone
with her chosen social duty....
Who is Miss Lamisi?
My name is Magdalene Lamisi Sam Awinongya but my showbiz name is just Lamisi
which means a Thursday born.I am simple but very energetic and knows what I
want and will go all out for it.I love positive competition and that's evident
in the number of beauty pageants I have partook in.Talking about Mister and
Misses SHS in 2007 and others which are not well known until the 2009 Ghana
Most Beautiful.

What convinced you to join Ghana's Most Beautiful?
I am the kind of girl who loves the culture stuff and that can be seen in my
outfits any time I step out with a touch of African prints in my dressing.I
also think Mac Tontoh of blessed memory was on the judges bench in 2007 when I
partook in the Mister and Misses SHS and he told me "you have something
within you,go for it" I kept that.So in 2008 when I saw the promo of
Ghana's Most Beautiful I told my friends I was going for the crown.I think I am
happy now but more importantly I wanted a platform that could help me promote
my Road Accidents Campaign because I had been involved in about three accidents
in the past and I think my campaign is going good too.
What difficulties did you face during your season?
It was not all fun,I respect all the pageants in Ghana but GMB was different
because I thought everything will be cozy until I met up with other
girls,staying in a house with nine other ladies you have never met before.Its
difficult to live with even your own sisters,how much more other nine ladies
plus the act we put up on stage where things we had to dig within our self and
bring out.All you are told is the issue to tackle and you find you way and
means and learn it and bringing it very real on the stage.
Rumors has is that you are dating a Boxer,Osumanu Adama?
[Laughing] That's quiet personal but I am not dating Kesse of Project Fame, not
D flex of Nasake fame and I am not also dating Reggie Zippy as some people are
saying but I am not single.I am seriously attached but I can not tell you
whether its the IBO world champion Osumanu Adamu or not. [Laughing]
Money or Fame,which will you go for?
I wish to be the voice of the voiceless,I can have fame but cant a afford to
support people in need with the basic things they need,but if I have money and
I push it into good project to help the society people would recognize my
efforts and that can make me famous too.I will go for a lot of money. People
are famous but complain people don't buy their music and they run into
financial crisis so why not.I will go for the money.
You featured in Tarch Haus' Dagbana,how was the experience like?
I use to love Drama back in school and I was Drama President in high school at
Christian Methodist School and we participated in a lot of competition where we
mostly came first.That I must confess really helped me a lot on the Ghana Most
Beautiful stage because it made my delivery on stage very smooth and many were
suggesting I start acting.I just wanted to concentrate on my social pledges so
when Tarch Haus called me and told me the film was to promote peace in the
North, I didn't hesitate because after all,I always wanted an opportunity like
that to contribute my quota back to my people.
What new Challenge did the crown bring when TV3 handed Nasara's crown to you
later on after she was alleged to have misconducted herself in the Philippines?
I will be very glad if you direct this question to TV3.I know myself to be
Ghana Most Beautiful 2009 first runner up.I normally don't know what to say
when people ask me about that crown.No handling over ceremony have been held as
far I am concerned so I still stand by the fact that I am a first runner up and
not a winner because no one has handed any crown to me.What's important to me
is the brand Lamisi I have created and I will not sleep with someone or pay
money to get a crown.I wanted a platform to give hope to northern women and I
got it.I still stand by the fact that I am first runner up.
Which part of your life would you like to improve upon?
Everything is okay but my prayer is just that people who will like to pull
me back to stay off my course.Those people who will work more than Satan just
to see you go down God should take them away from my track.

Whats you most precious possession?
I am proud of an award I received from the Ashaiman Municipal Assembly on
the Independence day after Ghana Most Beautiful 2009 and that was the for
representing the Ashaiman Municipality and this portrait my mom gave to me
after I returned home.It was great.
Whats project are you embarking on now?
I am now working on road accident documentary and how to air it is now the
issue because I want it to be on several networks as possible and also my TV
show will be hitting the screens very soon.
People argue that contestants warm beds to go far in contests, whats your
opinion on that?
No one has tried it on me but if people are confessing after they feel
cheated,I don't mind but as Phillipa Baafi once said in an interview "Its
God who has brought me where I am today,but if there's any man somewhere who
thinks other wise,he should come out boldly and say I had a thing or two with
Phillipa before I did her this favor".If you buy fame or sleep with people
for fame,it wont last.I don't blame the judges who sleep with the contestants,I
blame the contestants themselves for stooping so low.If you are confident of
your output why would you then have to sleep to get a crown..huh?...
Is there any question you always wanted to be asked?
Yes its,What my take on the media?I think you guys never support social
effort of people in the limelight but as soon as a controversy breaks you guys
are the first to report those issues.
You last words?
I love my fans and I appreciate their prayers,support and motivation.I love
them all...
