Ufa Dania, representing Kwara in the Miss Universe Nigeria competition, has received an outpouring of love and support from South Africans.
Focus has been shifted from the former Miss South African finalist Chidinma Vanessa Onwe Adetshina who is currently contesting in the Miss Universe Nigeria pageant.
Initially, South Africans choked Chidinma with votes, but after a video from the Nigerian pageant surfaced on social media, Mzansi shifted all attention from Chichi to the chubby model.
The shift in support is due to Ufa breaking the stereotype often associated with beauty pageants, where plus-size women are rarely allowed to compete.
Ufa, whose Instagram account now boasts over 10,000 followers, has been flooded with messages of support from South Africans expressing their admiration for her.
