Nigerians disappointed as Google Search shows Agbani Darego as ugliest Miss World

In 2001, Nigeria’s Agbani Darego made history as the first black queen to win Miss World in a very captivating fashion.

Fast forward to 2020, the coronavirus year, October precisely, the Independent Month, social media is on a meltdown as Google Search shows Darego as ugliest Miss World (You don’t have to check it too you know?).

Nigerians might be divided within, but nothing unites citizens of the most populous black nation in the world than misrepresenting one of their own. Social media, Twitter, like a fuel-laden fallen taker, exploded over Agbani Darego misjudged as the ugliest Miss World.

Many query questions flooding the timelines and appreciating tweets to drum for the ever beautiful beauty queen, though some had reservations as to how beautiful Darego was as a Miss World.

But her intelligence, which apparently is one of the criteria, stood her out and that poses a fact, everybody can connect with.

First noticed by a Twitter with the handle, Growth Queen, she said: “I find it interesting that the results to “Who is the most beautiful Miss World” on Google shows links to various rankings. But “Who is the ugliest Miss world” gives you Agbani Darego’s profile, full stop.”

Williams Chidera, in pure sarcasm, wrote: “I wouldn’t blame google because there’s an algorithm that does this sorting, just as it is when you search for idiot and check images. But the websites that said Agbani Darego is ugly you won’t be unfortunate I can’t lie.”

Mr Ranky queried that “How on earth Will anybody say Priyanka Chopra is more beutiful than Agbani Darego?

do I have issues with my eyes??

So I reach front page,but na nonsense

Nah eh! No qualms
This is so unsophisticated


Buh which Nigerians are angry ?


Cos the last time I checked we have better ish to be angry for
Not for some internet crap

why are you awake?

Someone must have started but if only the reactors knew their reaction would only ensure the Google search result stays consistent. They keep using her name and the expression "ugliest miss world" together. Even the bloggers and news channels that try to milk the situation dry keep fueling it with their headlines. Now when you Google that question, you get something like "Nigerians react as Google search shows Agbani Darego as ....". OP, even your thread is a factor here.

This is why Chinese bots are 'busy' feeding the internet with their cooked up version of the covid-19 story (second pic).

You seem to forget Nairaland isn't only available to those in Nigeria.

that's nice.

Beauty is to some degree subjective, and it’s important that we don’t take everyone else’s opinion at face value.

We should look to discover what we find truly beautiful, whether that be in art, in people, or in nature.

Everyone dishing out opinions waaaah!!

To me you're beautiful,

Beauty is in the eye of beholder. To the racist who see blacks as monkey, what do you expect

They're still pained she won the miss world that year. #proudly 9ja#

What do we call this oxymoronic description which by the way, reeks of racism? "Ugliest beauty queen"? Really? Psssssss!

first google analytics works with keywords and your location.... MISS WORLD and searching from a NIGERIAN IP as your location... UGLIEST does not exit so probably may not turn up

This is serious. Our government need to do something about it.

They are right sha.

SaintBishop:

Everyone with his/her own idea of beauty, but na agbo me I wan sell

Beauty in the eyes of the beholder.


To me what I classify as beautiful should include some curves at least.

Shes not ugly..
But how she take win miss world..??

Courtesy of dem proud boys...

Yet dem Okoro pple dey worship their Boss.

Racists

They can say whatever they feel like.

She still remains the best Miss World to me.

Someone with beauty and brains, curves, an evenly toned skin, beautiful smiles and sexy body.

Girls like this are upto 1,000 in the world anymore right now and can never be found Nairaland. The one's here either have a face of a Cubid or rainbow skin after mixing makeup and bleaching together.

OP, she is not that ugly as u painted
I would grade her 55%
