South Africans throw Chidimma Adetshina under the bus (again) as they root for Ufa Dania in Miss Universe Nigeria

While the Miss Universe Nigeria pageant adheres to traditional beauty standards, one contestant, Ufa Dania, is shaking things up. 

As a dark-skinned, plus-size model, Ufa challenges the norm, aiming to reshape the perception of beauty in pageantry.

Ufa, a fashion content creator, has documented her journey in a series titled "Road to Miss Nigeria," giving her followers an inside look. 

Interestingly, South Africans have become invested in the pageant since former Miss SA finalist, Chidimma Vanessa Adetshina, joined the competition.  However, attention has shifted towards Ufa, who many believe would be an ideal ambassador.

The 24-year-old, a confident communications graduate and founder of the Minds and Hearts Foundation, has won hearts with her eloquence and dedication to educating young girls. What began as a playful attempt to "agony" Nigerians has transformed into a full-fledged campaign for Ufa.
