Despite facing adversity and bullying from South Africa, she withdrew and chose to represent Nigeria, ultimately achieving the position of 1st runner-up. Her story teaches us that obstacles can often become catalysts for success. Congratulations to her.
vv_348_ultrasensitive: Highest placement for Nigeria at the miss universe contest since 1964. I am happy she shunned the noise and remained focused on the goal. Everything she went through is enough to break anyone’s self esteem but, I’m grateful kind hearted Nigerians did not abandon their own. We accepted her with our full chest regardless of where she was born. God bless Nigeria all Nigerians who supported this young lady’s dream.

From facing rejection, enduring trolling, and overcoming relentless bullying, she rose to become the 2nd most beautiful woman in the entire universe. This journey, from rejection to global recognition, is a testament to her unwavering spirit.
