Several pictures and videos from the pageant were posted online, and the trolls stated that the event looked like a memorial service.

Some X users said it could pass for a secondary school pageant and a local town standard beauty pageant.

According to another netizen, Nigerian/South African contestant, Chidinma Adetshina, should have fought to compete in South Africa’s Miss Universe competition.

The hall decoration was also criticised by the trolls with claims that it was worse than a creche decoration.
