TheTalk.NG has compiled the reactions to Chidimma Adetshina winning Miss Universe Nigeria below:

@thedoggedscientist:

“This right here is not RIGGED, it is the underestimated power of social media. When SA took to the Internet to ridicule her, her name went far and wide, hence people voted for her. Her compatriots had no stories, that also added to her victory.”

@youngsteph16:

“The rejected stone is now the chief cornerstone, trust me guys we Nigerians are proud of her.”

@fantasyboi_:

“All her enemies are watching behind the door in shame. I pray may God keep Shaming them in Jesus’ name.”

@oseoliver:

“Congratulations. I voted for you. No place for xenophobia in Africa.”

@nomfee:

“Against all odds. Through God all things are possible.”
