Nigerians have started to react to the winning of the Silverbird organized Miss Nigeria Universe.
While some picked Miss Rivers for the win, others said Chidinma who represented Taraba state shortly after she arrived from South Africa following controversy over her citizenship in that country and subsequent withdrawal from the contest.
Some Nigerians took to the social media to say that Chidinma won on sympathy and several commenters agreed they voted for her because of the sad episode in South Africa.
Below are some of the reactions.
"Chidimma Adetshina who represented Taraba State was just declared the new Miss Universe Nigeria.
Silverbird just wasted our time. This is a pity crown and she doesn't deserve it. The moment they invited her, I sensed it.
Why was there a contest when they knew it was to be given to her?
The Miss Universe Nigeria 2024 is a kindergarten show, and this lady was just used for viewership rating.
She's a wonderful soul and I wish her well, but the organisers made a mediocre of the contest. It's lagging in credibility.
Good evening.

Blessing Akpan at least someone else knows it should be a credibility contest.
If it's truly a popularity contest, Nigerians would vote at the international level so well and our representatives would be winning.
You can go on and continue believing she deserves it.
Bro likeeeee
She's got the poise, the character, beauty and intelligence, yes but winner? Nah. That miss Rivers did outstandingly well and has been doing so for years. Chidinma deserved top 3 but not the winner. Seems like more of a popularity contest than credibility based.
I think Majority of us knew they will award her the crown
I wasn’t surprised
This is Nigeria
Miss Rivers should take a break and breath a little and come back.
A lot of persons voted her to win to spit South Africa
That was why
She deserved this win.
I voted for her to win because of the Bullying from SA. No one deserves to pay for a crime they did not commit.

Tell the truth, when last did most Nigerians watch this show? Maybe you’ve been keeping up with the show but most people haven’t and they’d take advantage of anything to improve the show’s ratings, allegedly. I knew it was on, I went live and left so for someone like me who didn’t watch it with keen interest I can’t be bothered
