Her emergence as the winner of Miss Universe Nigeria came with many obstacles after what she endured in South Africa in the same competition.
The model had to withdraw from the South African competition before being invited to participate in the Nigerian version.
Her win in Nigeria has been criticized, as many feel she was favoured and didn’t deserve to be invited to participate in the competition on a platter of gold.
