Social Media clowns Miss Universe Nigeria’s ‘cheap’ look
As the Miss Universe Nigeria camp officially kicked off, social media users, particularly from South Africa, didn’t hold back in mocking the pageant’s aesthetic.
Commenters were quick to point out the poor decor, lacklustre outfits, and overall “cheap” look of the event.
The comparison was inevitable, as many noted that Adetshina, who was recently embroiled in the Miss South Africa citizenship scandal, seemed unimpressed by the Nigerian pageant’s standards.
With the high production values she experienced during her Miss South Africa bid, it’s no surprise that her body language caught the attention of viewers who expected more from the competition.
Both South Africans and Nigerians have expressed mixed feelings about her inclusion in the competition, especially considering the unresolved citizenship status investigation.
Interestingly, Nigerian media coverage of the event has largely omitted Adetshina’s image from reports on the Top 24 finalists, adding to the tension.
The ongoing investigation by the Department of Home Affairs in South Africa, which may affect her citizenship status, continues to cast a shadow over her campaign.
What does Chidimma get if she wins Miss Universe Nigeria?
If Chidimma Adetshina takes the crown at Miss Universe Nigeria, she will receive a cash prize of ₦10 million, which is approximately R250,000.
In addition to the monetary reward, the winner will also gain other prizes and the prestigious opportunity to represent Nigeria at the Miss Universe pageant on a global stage.
The stakes are high, and the potential rewards are significant, but so are the controversies surrounding Adetshina’s involvement in the competition.
