I have got a year contract with Africa and in my contract, I can’t date - Rebecca Asamoah, Miss Africa 2016.

Miss Africa 2016, Rebecca Asamoah says she has been banned from dating.

The beauty queen made this revelation on GHOne TV. Rebecca, who is also Miss Ghana 2015 runner-up, she said her contract with the organizers of Miss Africa Continent stops her from dating.

This, she revealed, is to get her focused on her responsibilities as a queen. Dating, she said, may distract her, hence that decision.

“I have got a year contract with Africa and in my contract, I can’t date… It (being a queen) comes with a lot of responsibilities and they make you understand …if you are dating and don’t have someone who will understand, it will be a big problem. So, as a result, one year, no relationship”.

She was on the show to talk about her representing Ghana at the upcoming 2017 Miss United Nations world pageant.

She will be representing Ghana on that stage as the first Ghanaian queen to share Miss United Nations’ stage. She is hopeful of hoisting her country’s flag high out there by bringing home the crown. The pageant will take place in Kingston, Jamaica, from July 1 to July 9, with the main event on July 8.

Over 80 contestants will be taking part in the pageantry, and it will be the first time Ghana is presenting a representative.

If Rebecca gets crowned, it will, indeed, be a remarkable feat for her and Ghana as a whole. Rebecca is expected to leave Ghana late June 2017 to take part in activities ahead of the grand finale on July 8. She is hoping the public will support her win via votes at http://www.munp.org/contestants/miss-ghana-2017/

She told Nana Aba, “I have to win and come and show the crown to you.”

About the dating subject, she said she has been “trying” to stick to the terms of the contract. “I am trying…But I will be handing over very soon.”
