Dania, who represents Kwara State, saw an increase in her votes as netizens in South Africa are drumming support for her via social media platforms.
While the 25-year-old’s appearance automatically makes her the object of attention, leading to debates and criticisms over her looks, it has now turned into a blessing in disguise for her.
The support from South Africans has seen Dania overtake former Miss SA finalist Chidimma Adetshina. As of the time this article was published, Miss Kwara has garnered 23901 votes, while Chidimma has 23422 votes.
