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.

Miss Universe Nigeria invites Chidimma Adetsina
TheTalk.NG earlier reported that hours after Chidimma Adetshina bowed out of Miss South Africa 2024, Miss Universe Nigeria sent a message to her.
Miss Universe Nigeria, in a social media post, reacted to the backlash Chidimma had faced from South Africans as they extended an invite to her.
Social media users have widely applauded the Nigerian beauty pageant’s action as they encouraged Chidimma to return to the country, which she did.
