Glory Umunna (born Glory Chukwu) is the Most Beautiful Girl in Nigeria 2009. She competed in Miss World 2009 in Johannesburg, South Africa. She is Igbo from Abia State.[1]

Umunna is a graduate of the University of Nigeria, Nsukka with a degree in Microbiology. She also has a Masters degree in Management, and Information Systems from Cranfield,UK.

Despite her Igbo heritage, Ohafia-native, Umunna represented predominantly Islamic state Nassarawa in the ceremony held for the first time in Owerri.[2][3] At twenty-three, Glory became queen, and speaks some French as well as English and her native Igbo.[4]

Among Umunna's goals is working with a charity organisation which supports disadvantaged children in her country, and getting involved in the rehabilitation and renovation of children’s wards in Nigerian hospitals.

In July of 2011, Umunna married civil engineer Uchechi Umunna, [5] [6] and the couple are parents to daughters Christine and Zoe. The family currently reside in Canada.
