Chinenye Akinlade (born Chinenye Ivy Ochuba) is a Nigerian beauty pageant titleholder.

Chinenye is the seventh of eight children and also a twin. Following completion of her secondary education at Regan Memorial Secondary School, she won the 2002 edition of the Most Beautiful Girl in Nigeria pageant while awaiting admission into university.[1] Despite being a favourite for the Miss Universe 2002 crown, she failed to make the top ten, but fared better at Miss World, where she was a top ten finalist, as well as the African Continental Queen of Beauty.[2]

Formerly a student at the University of Lagos, Chinenye completed her degree in Accounting and Financing at the University of Greenwich, London in 2008, graduating with a second class upper.[3] She returned to Nigeria, where she married businessman Kunle Akinlade, and worked for oil company Exxon Mobil. Chinenye now has two children.[4]
