MISS KWARA THANKS SOUTH AFRICANS FOR SUPPORT
In recent days, South Africans on social media users have shifted their support from Chidimma Adetshina to Ufa, known as Miss Kwara.
For many, this is based on her literally standing out from the crowd as a plus-size model and embracing her darker shade of skin.
The support has seen Ufa receive over 3000 votes from South Africans, who hope to fast-track her to the Top 10 of the pageant. The results will be revealed at the Miss Universe Nigeria pageant in Lagos this weekend.
In Instagram Stories this week, Miss Kwara thanked her supporters for their encouragement and kind words.
She posted: “Y’all, I’m South African now. I’m so humbled by the level of support.
Miss Kwara added that her foreign fans had given her South African names like “Nomathemba, Nyiko, and Mbali.”
She jokingly added: “Maybe I’ll move to SA.”
Currently, Ufa has received over 10 000 votes, or 11 % of votes in the competition.
Chidimma has over 15 000 or 17% of the votes.
IN IT TO WIN IT
Speaking to Her Network Online, Miss Kwara claimed that she was hoping to use her platform to inspire other women to be body positive.
She said: “I’m here to champion what matters, empower others, and create a ripple effect of positive change beyond the pageant and into the community.
