Pageants
In 1987, Buwa competed in Miss Nigeria and lost to Stella Okoye, but achieved greater success when she represented Warri in the second Most Beautiful Girl in Nigeria pageant. As the contest had taken place late in the year, Buwa ruled for most of 1988, but quickly gained a reputation as MBGN's most unconventional winner and was described as a tomboy by the Nigerian press.
