Abiola Bashorun

Abiola Bashorun is a Nigerian model and beauty pageant titleholder who won the Most Beautiful Girl in Nigeria 2006.

In 2006, eighteen-year-old Bashorun was the surprise winner of the annual pageant. As the reigning queen, Baroshun's platform was Sickle Cell Awareness. She was inspired after losing a friend to the disease; she spent most of her reign organising workshops and seminars to educate Nigerians on the disease. She also represented Nigeria at Miss World 2006.

In 2008, Bashorun appeared in a commercial for Motorola. She later went on to study Law in the United Kingdom and later moved back to Nigeria after graduating. As part of her Sickle Cell Awareness platform, Bashorun spoke publicly about the disease's effect on relationships and family planning, stating that having a genotype of AA meant she could safely marry a partner with genotype SS without risk to their children's health, and expressed her willingness to marry a man living with sickle cell disease. She also spoke of her ambition to study law, saying she wanted to "defend the rights of the common man."
