The beauty queen who recently wowed the nation on the Miss Universe Nigeria stage, De-Blessing Asaboro (Miss Delta, Contestant 08), celebrated her birthday this week with a deeply personal reflection and a spectacular, extended thank-you note that has the internet feeling all the feels.
Asaboro, representing “The Big Heart” of Delta State, took a moment from her post-pageant glow to share a stunning series of birthday photos, complete with a powerful declaration of self-love and resilience.
The Confession of a ‘Masterpiece in Progress’
The birthday reflection was a candid, vulnerable read. Asaboro penned a message to the woman she has become, chronicling a journey that was anything but easy: “Another year around the sun, another chapter in my story—one written in grace, fire, softness, and strength. I’ve laughed deeply, cried silently, grown quietly, and risen fiercely… I’ve watched myself evolve into a woman I’m proud of, not because I’ve had it easy, but because I chose to keep going, even when it was hard.”
The message is a beautiful, unapologetic embrace of her scars. She’s not celebrating perfection; she’s celebrating survival. She honors the girl she was (“Thank you for surviving”) and encourages the woman she’s becoming (“The world hasn’t seen the best of you yet”). It’s the ultimate validation that her elegance and poise on the Miss Universe Nigeria preliminary stage were forged in real-life fire, a theme that truly resonated with her audience.

Asaboro’s gratitude was overwhelming, encompassing every single gesture from her followers: “Every call, message, repost, prayer, gift, and thoughtful gesture on my birthday truly touched my heart.”
But she took the emotional intensity up several notches, pointing out the philosophical weight of community in a chaotic world: “You all didn’t just wish me well—you made me feel seen, celebrated, and surrounded by love most beautifully. In a world that moves so fast, your time and kindness meant everything to me.”
The humor lies in the sheer volume of her appreciation. The heartfelt dedication, delivered with the sincerity of someone who genuinely felt the love, suggests that Asaboro might be the most grateful beauty queen in all of Nigeria. She felt “every word, every gesture” and promises she is “still smiling from the warmth” they brought into her life.
This outpouring of love is, in part, a response to her unforgettable performance as Contestant 08 at Miss Universe Nigeria, where she lit up the stage and connected with audiences through her authentic message.
Miss Delta’s birthday serves as a charming reminder that the ability to translate personal struggle into public inspiration makes her followers feel like they are truly part of the blessing. May joy, love, and light never leave her life, because she definitely knows how to pour it back out.
