Hanniel Jamin, Miss Universe Ghana 2013 has said she represented Ghana to the best of her ability at the 2013 edition of Miss Universe pageant, though she did not win the crown.

“I represented Ghana well and I did my very best but I didn’t come out victorious. We can only give thanks to God for whatever happens,” Hanniel told NEWS-ONE.

This year’s Miss Universe finals took place November 9 at the Crocus City Hall—the only world standard multifunctional arena in Russia amidst a lot of activities.

Hanniel left Ghana for the event on October 23, amidst controversies with Ghana franchise holders of the pageant and it was perceived that she was not well prepared physically and psychologically for the pageant like other contestants due to the issues she had with the organizers.

But Hanniel did not disgrace Ghana on the world platform. She returned to Ghana on November 12 and has since been living a quiet life.

She said it was a good experience being part of the pageant and she did her best.

“Competing in the Miss Universe 2013 pageant in Moscow, Russia was a very great opportunity and I did my best to represent Ghana well,” she emphasized.
