- South Africans have taken a bold turn as they drum support for a new candidate in the ongoing Miss Universe Nigeria beauty pageant
- Several SA netizens have dumped former Miss SA finalist Chidimma Adetshina in a show of support for another Nigerian contestant
- The recent action by South Africans has been considered a move to spite Nigerians in some quarters
The Miss Universe Nigeria pageant has continued to trend, as it now appears to be a full-fledged competition between Nigerians and South Africans. Dania, who represents Kwara State, saw an increase in her votes as netizens in South Africa are drumming support for her via social media platforms. While the 25-year-old’s appearance automatically makes her the object of attention, leading to debates and criticisms over her looks, it has now turned into a blessing in disguise for her.
The support from South Africans has seen Dania overtake former Miss SA finalist Chidimma Adetshina. Miss Kwara accumulated 51,738 votes, accounting for 28.93% of the total, while Adetshina garnered 48,158 votes, making up 26.92% of the overall votes.
The grand finale of the beauty pageant is set to take place on Saturday, 31 August, in Lagos, Nigeria.
The tensions between Nigeria and South Africa also led to the online “Bolt Order Challenge in early August.
