“All of us be one” Miss Universe South Africa’s X handle tweets in Nigerian pidgin after Nigerians slammed them for claiming Miss Universe Nigeria Chidinma Adtshina following her successful outing at the Miss Universe.

Recall that Chidinma was vilified by South Africans because her father is Nigerian. They said she’s cannot be a representative of South Africa so she was forced to drop out from representing South Africa.

In spite of the vilification, Chidinma Adetshina is now Miss Universe Africa and Oceania after emerging first-runner up at the beauty contest which held in Mexico.
