A recent video from the Miss Universe Nigeria pageant has been making waves on social media, with many South Africans joining in to share their thoughts.
The video, which quickly went viral, shows a competitive moment that left many viewers confused and amused.
While the video showed the Miss Universe Nigeria contestants striding confidently, the venue they walked through left many viewers, especially South Africans, disappointed.
Another video showed Nigerian pageant organizers addressing contestants in a room that was described as poorly equipped for such an event.
The video went viral on social media platforms, especially Twitter, with South Africans not shying away from voicing their opinions.
Many users criticised the quality of the event's organisation and production, comparing it unfavourably to a South African contest which Chidinma Adesina withdrew from.
After facing backlash in Mzansi, 23-year-old Chidinma received an invitation from organisers and decided to take part in the pageant in Nigeria.
Let's take a look at how South Africans have reacted to a video clip from the Miss Universe Nigeria pageant going viral.
Is this the “honorable” Miss Universe Nigeria?
