Obaaderemi2:
Nigerians are mumu.
Chidinma that never identified as a Nigerian. How are you sure she is even a Nigerian? Someone whose mother stole a South African's identity for her to herself off as South African. The dad could equally have come from anywhere.

How are you sure you're Nigerian yourself?

That you've been living in the country doesn't matter. Chidinma has lived for 23 years in SA yet it was not enough to prove her citizenship.

And your parents may have lied to you, too, about where you were born and where they were originally from.

Sepukku:
How is it that to you, she has never identified as Nigerian yet she uses her Nigerian name, was married to a Nigerian man in a very Nigerian wedding and celebrated with her Nigerian folk in South African which is the major reason South Africans were mad at her in the first place.

Please do your research well before you make statements.

Oh. I didn't even know this.


They also complained of her having Nigerian flag on all her social media pages before she removed it.


I really don't like all these "you must be from this place, deeply, authentically" if you want to do XYZ. Does it matter in some context? Yes. When the country itself is alright fraught with tribalism, why will people not be becoming susceptible to xenophobic dogwhistles?

Since it is a beauty pageantry, what other identification does she need apart from the fact she's of Nigerian origins? Does she need to know Nigerian political history from 1999 till date? Or know the specific food common to each state? Or know their slogans? Even I don't know it.

If she wins, she'll be representing Nigeria as a whole at the world, and it'll be for general reasons. Nobody is going to be asking her how rush hour traffic in Nigeria is like.

Chinny024:
🤣🤣🤣..
Their shock will be shocked

Like, every other time they are always saying Nigerians are bad people, Nigerians are criminals and Nigerians don't have integrity.


So now they expect a corrupt country to be fair in a competition? 😂

They don't know how far.

Chinny024:
They are yet to understand that vote does not count in Nigeria..🤣🤣🤣

And there's that one too. 😂😂

Pepperdemisback:
She's Chidinma, why is she not representing any Igbo state?

But this is Sarah Olotu representing Delta State, and Sophia Nelson representing Kaduna State in the same competition.


So why would it be wrong for Chidinma to represent Taraba in this case? (Because I don't think Olotu is a Deltan surname, and Nelson definitely does not sound like an Hausa one).

Pepperdemisback:
How did she get to Taraba? Is she from there? Did you ask why they don't post contestants names?

You said somebody was 'dethroned' for her to be selected. You're actually the only one I'm seeing peddling that narrative.


If somebody else was actually cheated out of the competition, a lot of people would have been dragging her over it. The South Africans would have blown it out of proportion.

They don't post contestant names?

Their names are all on this website- https://missuniversenigeria.org/. What are you talking about? Which pageantry in the world is ever held where the names of the contestants are anonymous? Their names have all been published right from the moment the were selected as well as the states they're representing.

Pepperdemisback:
Save Chidinma for what precisely? She never acknowledged herself as a Nigerian nor even been here. Miss Taraba was dethroned for her, why?

Hello?


Please, who was the previous Ms. Taraba? Who was dethroned for Chidinma to be accepted? I just want to know.

I can't find that information anywhere.

Pepperdemisback:

Show me the previous Miss Taraba, please.

jorion:
How can you blame a SIMP for not being a good person when his only crime is to show public affection to a GIRL.

Calling him a simp is not you judging and blaming him for his feelings?

What would you rather the girl do --- if/since she doesn't like him? Accept his proposal in public and reject him in private? Or continue to play pretend? When you'll be amongst the first people to say she's desperate for marriage or she's using him when she doesn't love him. If relationships and marriages are worthless ventures to you lot, should you not be happy when a woman turns down your advances then?

Or in what world is the declaration of your feelings more important than/separate to the commitment of a marriage?

You're are responsible for your own feelings - you alone. No one owes you the protection or coddling of it except you've explicitly and exclusively vowed commitment to each other. He did not commit a crime by having feelings for her and proposing (if the video is not a skit), and neither did she for rejecting his advances. If they were already 100% percent on board with each other, with a mutual goal towards marriage, then this video wouldn't be online. There wouldn't even be a need for a 'proposal' except for the tradition of it.

And I did not outrightly call him a bad person. I just know annoyingly persistent men who ladies have said no to countless times or shown no interest in usually go out of their way to do grand, eye-service gestures. Just to 'bribe' their way into reciprocated feelings.

And I am very sure that you will never be able to walk up to man to chat him up because of the fear of rejection.

Actually, I have. Twice. And they were my exact specs.

I don't why I didn't pursue anything further with one; the second, I ghosted on him after exchanging numbers.

Male specimens just all too often bore me, especially intellectually, and so I don't bother expelling energy in striking up a conversation with them 🥱.

CyrusVI:
Euoiaa/Magñoliaa ... The one you hate ionately keeps getting worldwide recognition

I am flattered you're still bothered to keep up with your petty, one-sided beef with me.


If I had known you were the one behind this moniker, I would have stayed 2000 meters away from you. But thank you for letting me know, all the same. I will consequently keep my distance from your shenanigans.

Except for personality likes, there is absolutely nothing wrong with public proposals.


A lady who "rejected" you in public will likely reject you in private, so it is not about the privacy/publicity of it. It's simply because you guys are not on the same page.


There are 1001 public proposals with happy endings, but once one doesn't go well, confirmation bias will set in and most people will start running away with their conclusions and justification for disliking it.


I am almost certain that the men who get rejected publicly like this are not actually good people.


They are only hoping that by making a grand gesture of proposal in public, a lady that is not 100% on board with them will be forced/manipulated into accepting.

TOPCRUISE:
GDP from kidnapping industry.
Disclosing the numbers will be making kidnapping more lucrative as the kidnappers too will making financial report on their performance management based on an annual and factional basis

🤣🤣🤣

pansophist:
Actually I've upgraded. Thank God for my life.

You can't expect me to be in the same spot I was since last year. I now have a car for hustle, so no Okada anymore.

Just tired of all runs babes wey wan turn us to house boy or overuse the "customer is always right" Slogan.

So those babes that don't want to cry on a on top Okada, can cry in my car now. I'm gallant.

Modupe

Awwnnn. That's good.

You see that every "bad thing" has its positive side. If not for those girls now, you would not have gotten a butter to your bread. They were you indirect motivation.


So I pray you find you a reformed runs girl, the only one for you, that'll push you to buying coaster buses for a nationwide business. More wins next year! 🎉🎉

SarutobiEky:
This is becoming embarrassing. Only you dey tag, the nigga is ignoring your ass with steeze. Try and find rest already. Ahan. You're embarrassing me.

I am embarrassing you? Sorry, do you have identity issues? Are you pansophist?


Because I don't know who you think you are to think you can get me to behaving "respectfully" because it is embarrassing to you. What exactly are you feeling like? How is it doing you?


O je ko bo ti se n shey e siwaju, and go and find a solution to whatever ails you.

pansophist:
My nairaland crush. So this is what you think of me, a Yahoo person? Even calling me a boy.

It's not good o.

You're not a boy? Okay, would you like it if I call you baby boy then?

No, I don't think you're into yahoo. Of course not. I actually know you're an hardworking and honest bike man (as you once told me here).

But no, me I can't teach anybody Yahoo. I like legit money. I like to sleep in peace, so no dark money for me.

Same sense to make illegitimate money can be deployed to make a legitimate one. Na just patience people no get.

If this just isn't the truth of the matter.

pocohantas:
May his soul continue to rest in peace.

So it's confirmed true?


May his soul rest in peace.

God I hope this is not true
