Flaunt Weeekly
December 01, (THEWILL) – Vien Tetsola who was fondly referred to as the millennium queen as she got crowned Miss Nigeria in the year 2000 at the turn of the millennium has effected a name change.
Back in the day, besides the fact that she was in a well-publicized relationship with music super star, Innocent Idibia, more popularly known as 2Baba, Vien was also, alleged to be in a romantic relationship with clergyman, Chris Okotie of Household of God Church. She soon dropped out of the scene leaving many to wonder what had become of her. She eventually surfaced a few years ago after undergoing some spiritual transformation.
Today she runs Holy City Empire of GOD Beulah Land Ministry where she is the head of government of the ministry, something like a General Overseer. She has also changed her name and now prefers to be called Israel Shepherd Joshua. Vien was compelled to give her life and entire being to Jesus Christ following a vow she made to God. In her exact words, she vowed saying, ‘‘LORD, if You will make me Miss Nigeria I will serve You. With the crown I will serve You, with my life I will worship You.’’ This vow was made to GOD in the year 1999 prior to the Daily Times Miss Nigeria Beauty Contest for the Millennium.
So after over 20 years of being weaned of the Lord, Vien honoured her vow in a life transforming journey, shedding her beauty queen cloak and adorning the Royal Priest cloak.
