She Missed The Crown But Gets GH¢40k And Land From Her Community After Returning As First Runner Up

According to a Post by ABNMedia on Facebook Official account on Monday, Nov 2, 2026, Winning the ultimate crown is not the only reason a contestant deserves recognition, as the people of Dagbamete in the Volta Region have demonstrated through their generous reception for one of their own.

Fiakegbe Marie Juniore Sessinam, who represented the Volta Region at the 2026 edition of Ghana’s Most Beautiful (GMB) pageant, has received a warm welcome from her community following her impressive performance in the competition.

Although she finished as the first runner-up instead of taking home the main title, her achievement did not go unnoticed by the traditional leaders and residents of Dagbamete.

During a special homecoming ceremony held on Sunday, the chiefs and people of the community presented her with GH¢40,000 in cash and a parcel of land in Tema as a reward for representing the region.

The financial gift is expected to help her acquire a new vehicle, while the land serves as an additional gesture of appreciation for her dedication and efforts throughout the national competition.

Her reception has attracted attention because it shows that communities can celebrate and reward their representatives even when they do not emerge as overall winners.

For many people, her experience is an example of how encouragement and practical support can motivate young individuals who work hard to make their communities proud.

Although the GMB crown went to another contestant, Fiakegbe has clearly earned the admiration of her people and returned home with valuable gifts.

Her story has also raised an interesting discussion about how communities should appreciate their talented representatives.
