Nigerians have gone on a South African pageant enthusiast’s account to slam them for claiming Miss Universe Nigeria contestant Chidinma Adetshina as theirs.
The handle with the username “Miss Universe South Africa” referred to Chidinma as “our golden girl” after she emerged second runner up at the Miss Universe contest.
They added, “South Africa and Nigeria, we can all be proud.”
But Nigerians were not having it and they called them out in the reply section.
Recall that Chidinma was vilified by South Africans because her father is Nigerian. They said she could not be a representative of South Africa, so she was forced to drop out from representing South Africa.
She ended up representing Nigeria at the Miss Universe pageant, but some South Africans wrote petitions calling for her to be disqualified.
In spite of the vilification, Chidinma Adetshina is now Miss Universe Africa and Oceania after emerging first-runner up at the beauty contest which held in Mexico.
