She still won't win b/c she's already won one of the titles b/4 & done her time on the world stage. She was top 5 in the Miss World Pageant, but Miss Jamaica won the title that year & she went viral for being so happy for Miss Jamaica. There's a reason fresh faces have been given the crown every year. Miss Rivers need to sign up with one of the top modelling agencies in Paris or New York or send her video to Victoria's Secret.
@@ohenebaamuah2546Jhoo hectic! Apparently she once called out Silvergrouo for bad treatment and gave them bad publicity so maybe there is bad blood in play.
What's with you and the comment everywhere? The previous Miss Universe Nigeria Mitchell Ihezue, did she not win MBGN 2017 and went on to Miss World and was top model? The only reason Rovers isn't winning is bc she called out the organizers during her reign as MBGN. If it was fair and square, she has better chances than this winner. However, Organizers choose who they want to work with. So leave Miss Rovers out of your comments.@@berrytots8805
She should be allowed to compete at MU 2025 and let the winner 2025 MU Nigeria winner compete in 2026, more time to prepare and made this fair to Miss Rivers. The crown was hers until they just fast tracked and invited Chichi into the pageant.
The crown was a disgrace, they disrespected the contestants. She was not harassed initially. SAns were speaking nicely at first until she was arrogant, then that angered SAns because they knew. Also considering the illegal inmigrants in the country, and that a SAn with her child suffered due to the theft- so it was like a hi-Chi didn’t care about the plight of that poor woman and her child. She was very arrogant in this whole thing.
Whatever it seems like to you ends in your mind..she has won. Hu hu uuu. I think the lady taking her didn't get a proper make up, and she kept saying south Africans, but I couldn't see it in her. The sweetest nemesis that Chidimma won
It is now our Miss Universe looks like not a competition cos Chindinma won instead of losing. Were you guys interested in Miss Universe Nigeria 2023? Bunch of haters!!!!
But do you see her excitement? I even went to the statement Miss Nigeria sent, and it says "we invite you to represent Nigeria at a world's stage" then everything made sense, she was invited to be miss universe Nigeria.
I don't know how to feel about this, the hosts and the president of the organisation mentioning South Africa. That video of Chidimma expressing her excitement of being in the top 5, meanwhile videos of the other top 5 contestants weren't included. For me, Miss Rivers showed up on the night, and the fact that she wasn't even runner up😭😭
Leave it be. Chidinmma is our choice. Miss Rivers understands that clearly. South Africans like you have no say in what we do in our dear country. Thank you.
@youme1414 Yes, you are 💯 percent correct. The pageant invites Chidimma to participate in this year's pageant, where representatives have already been chosen... the hosts mentioning SA every chance they get, and she's the winner. A very fair process that 👏
@@siphesihleoliphant8734 SA is not special. It is mentioned because of the people actions toward Chidinmma. Nigeria is a country of 200 million people for goodness sake. You are thinking too much of your country where the giant of Africa is. Please... Thank you.
For me chichi is not ready for miss universe, on top she’s with a questionable organisation. I hope her management team really puts in the effort for this next two months….. because the girl is really gorgeous and she’s sabotaging herself
@DGANGMODISE First, her South African nationality was questionable. Now, it's the Silverbird Group. Dear South Africans, please make up your minds. It seems anything Nigerian irks you very much. She neither has to deal with hate, threats, xenophobic behaviours, nor is vying for Miss Universe South Africa crown. This should be a happy moment for all. You couldn't and still can't stand her; yet Nigeria loves & embraced her. South Africans said she's not qualified to represent you; she got her opportunity in Nigeria. All Chidinma really wanted was a chance at Miss Universe, which she got. Anything beyond this is unadulterated hatred, envy & jealousy. Persisting on this mission has raised her profile and exposed who you truly are on a global stage.
Ms Rivers is the true winner ...The integrity of the organisers is questionable!!!... In my opinion the world stage should not allow this participant onto the world stage in Mexico...Chidimma didn't go through the process from start to finish and it was an injustice to All the other contestants.
Let me comment Nigerians for the love they gave her despite her being born and raised in SA , I think they are very united and loving country , I think she also deserve some love from SA not hatred she was born and raised here after all it is her home , she can have dual citizenship, she is finally living her dream of competing at Miss Universe and the love and support in Nigeria is massive I am positive she will make Nigeria proud at MU she will also make SA proud 😊 I wish her designer for MU be VeekeeJames , she is so beautiful
Nigeria is happy with Chidinma. We recognise her and we claim her. She is Welcome home. Miss universe or not. She is in her fathers land. Loved and accepted. Successful or not.
They were trying to spite SA, but now it is clear that the last minute addition of Chi-Chi has jeopardised the girls who have been there from beginning.
@@chijiokeuzoma8989you know I honestly think Nigerians who think south Africans are humiliated are really slow and really dumb, SA still gets credit from chichi wining, infect we would have felt embarrassed and sorry for chichi if she lost and Nigerians would be bullying SA and chichi
The reason why 3 out of the top 10 were paid votes is the reason why Silverbird's been hosting MBGN since '87 with amateur quality, and it is the same reason why they've yet to crown Nyekachi(Miss Rivers). It's CORRUPTION. I'm Nigerian so trust me when I say the country is highly corrupt. They'd rather pocket their sponsor's funds than invest in their show and queens. And because Nyekachi called it out a couple of years ago, they refused to crown QUALITY. Shame! I'm glad you reviewed this, Rina! ❤I'm second-hand embarrassed 💀
As a Nigerian, which of the sponsors you saw in their advert can give that huge fund you are talking about, is it checkers or lush? Sponsorship is not always in monetary form, it could be products, it could barter for using any of their other businesses like the cinema. This a privately own company, no govt or oil and gas support. Is it beans to run a business for 38 years in Nigeria? This is some ones business, let him run it in peace please. Nyeka can come back next year, better still she should go and build a career in modelling.
Nigeria has some of the best musicians in Africa but why wouldn’t they pay even a couple of not so well-known artists to come and perform here? The organisers have their highest viewership this year through them using Chichi for their ambush marketing, they could have upped the production value at least & paid lighting guys, designers, etc to make dresses with a similar theme for all of them at least. Also, I’m not suprised Chichi won. She’s been well-groomed by Miss SA organisation’s boot camp & The Crown Chasers series. She’ll do well internationally too. All the best to her. 🇿🇦
The way crowning of the winner went, It wouldn't come as a surprise that the organisers may have striked a deal with Chidimma, that they will hand her the crown, and, an opportunity to represent the country In Mexico along side this current Miss South Africa. In return the organiser get to keep part of the prize. It is questionable that they broadcast a pre recorded interview only of Chidimma acknowledging being in the top 5 before officially announcing the remaining contestants, This indicated she knew all along. I rooted for Chidimma to win, but it is obvious the crowning was rigged.
That whole pageant was so cringe, and why did only Chichi have the top 5 video? The whole thing was just like a normal party and not a national pageant, disappointing!
She is running on adraline, her PR team is failing her. I wish she took a break and give it a try next year. In my view I do not forsee Miss Universe international crowning Nigeria this year and risk being associated with a winner who is marred by controversy, to represent the organisation globally, knowing that the national organiser cheated the other contestants to crowned Chidimma just to spite South Africa? The organisers seemed to have breach a code of ethics. About Chidimma, she is innocent for now, but what if it turned out that at some point she found out the truth about her mother and conceal it? She may be nailed for accessory to crime. Post interview Chidimma was asked to open up about the Miss South Africa controversy, it was heartbreaking to see her having a meltdown Iive on a tv show. Unfortunately this won't be the last time she hear of that question. In regard to her participation in the contest, if indeed the girls were selfless, they voluntarily gave up such a huge opportunity to hand Chidimma the crown out of sympathy, they have not comprehend what they have done yet. It is a matter of time when it all sinks in, some may have woke up this morning with mixed feelings and sooner or later they will start speaking up especially those who have nothing to lose.
I always wondered 🤔 why u have a South African accent. We South Africa know our white people because of the way they sound. They really have a wonderful, beautiful accent
@aaronbeckley7614 What are u on about?? I didn't say anything about chidimma. I am talking about the accent of the owner of RUclips accent. Please 🙏 growup
@aaronbeckley7614 Why would ur daughter have a Nigerian accent? She didn't grow up in Nigeria. The owner of this channel clarified that she has been living in Namibia 🇳🇦 for 10 years, but I always suspected that she lived in South Africa before. Don't be mad at us, South Africans. Who knows how our people sound like wherever they are if they have lived in South Africa before. I am pretty sure that u, as a Nigerian wherever u are in the world, can also suspect if that person is from Nigeria by their accent because Nigeria is ur country
We know that Chidimma is South African by her accents she grew up with our people but her originality is the problem but was gonna be fixed If she didn't act rationally but I am happy for her.
How did you overlook the moment when her crown fell off her head and nobody panicked? It was no big deal, just like water under the bridge, because everyone knew it was fake. If that happened when a real crown fell, the room would fall silent - you'd even hear a pin drop.
I'm glad to know that South Africans tuned in to watch this. She won huu huu. The only thing that confuses me is the host of this post kept saying we are South Africans but, I'm trying to find her, cos I can't see South Africans
Can't You Just hit the nail on the head and stop wondering about the news. Your diction is horrible. Keep noticing . Like it or not Chidinma is the Queen
Coruption! Coruption! and beyond Coruption - Nigeria only knows corruption- This young lady may have won, but at what cost? What about the tens of thousands of young Nigerian women who spent months preparing, only to have it all dismissed to make a foolish point? Plain and simple, this is wrong. What have we gained from this? Nothing but the pursuit of a ridiculous agenda.
Felt like i was watching a year end function.. however, Rivers was leaps and Bounds above all the other girls, it’s clear Nigerians are just looking for a Queen but not an international Crown.
You guys obviously don't understand thr business of pageantry. It is not an NGO, it is a business, and a very wise business decision was taken. MUN is already being discussed globally. Do you know what it takes for a brand to be a topic of discussion around the global? Nigerian are business oriented we didn't build our career and businesses from govt grants. When we see opportunities we grab them. That is very we excel anywhere we find ourselves in the world.
Your commentary is ALWAYS spot on and HILLARIOUS! Another amazing review. I personally am happy with the results - even if Rivers who is forever my favorite Nigerian queen didn't win. I strongly believe that if she comes back a third time - it will be the perfect time to win! I think the Top 5 were neck and neck in Q&A - with the eventual 1RU my fave interview of the lot - and I think she will do well in Supranational. Chichi was great overall and glad she won - but she needs A LOT of work in catwalk training and interview to win MU let alone crack the Top 10. At best, she can place as a finalist but the calibre this year will eat her alive! Finally for a big country like Nigeria - they can definitely do better in terms of production and staging going forward.
Chidima was promised the crown. That's why she didn't care that South African Officials are looking for her criminal mother who committed crime regarding theft for her identity.
Nigeria is not a pageant country. We do not here about beauty pageants and that is the reason for the low turnout . Big brother Nigeria, and Nigeria Idol Sunday live get millions of viewers . Pageant is not really something Nigerians and Ghanians care about, and that’s why brands and sponsors don’t spend money investing in it. Big brother Naija winner go home 100 million naira, that is 100 thousand dollars , and a car, home appliances, all expenses paid vacation. Nigerian idol winner go home with 40 Million Naira, that’s 40 thousand dollars, a car, phones and other prizes. Those are shows Nigeria care about, so brand and sponsors spend money on them. Silver bird group barely make any money from Miss Universe Nigeria.
Well I'm sure you know where BigBrother Titans was held and Khosi Thwala, a South African won it through votes. We do both. Miss Universe is best though because it has far more serious impact on the World and addresses social issues. Zozi Tunzi had so much impact when she won
@@1HourOf. Nigeria has the highest Big Brother Africa winners than any African countries. Nigerians weren’t interested in Big Brother Titans because if Nigerians were interested, Khosi would not have won. You guys don’t have the numbers to win against Nigeria in terms of public voting. BBtitan was boring, i ever even tuned in for a day. Nigerians are not interested in beauty pageants if Nigerians were interested , no African country would be able to match Nigeria in terms of production. SilverBird is just one man business trying to hold the Miss universe Nigeria franchise for years, but Nigerians do not care enough to support it. Our Big Brother Naija, The Voice Nigeria and Nigeria idol winners have more followers , make more money than pageant winners in Nigeria. Pageant is not a priority in Nigeria anymore, it was in the 80s and 90s but not anymore
I watched Miss Universe Nigeria last year, and as a result, I passed on it this year. The show is poorly produced. I also don't know what to think about her win. I genuinely thought they invited her for the show to trend. I also think her experience at Miss SA might help her place at Miss Universe. It would be wild if she tried to compete at Miss South Africa again. Why put yourself through repeat trauma.
Miss Universe Nigeria is 100% not a pageant that can be taken seriously! They should really try and forge a path for themselves by improving their production value. South Africa does not have to be the only decent pageant on the continent.
As a Nigerian🇳🇬,this year's Miss Universe Nigeria feels like a scripted event. Yes she should be in the top 5 but being crowned the winner that's a big no for me. I didn't watch the finale because I already know the result, from experience as a contestant.
@@EugeneMshenguand you county is lawful, killing the likes of lucky Dube. Our home affairs engaged in fraudulent affairs. Please if we are to mention top sane countries, sad Africow ain't one of them.
Who cares ? Beauty pageant is the least of our problems. If not for the whole Chidinma saga, who cares and why will anyone have issues with her winning if she was the best contestants? She is Nigerian in every sense of it.
As someone who's new to your channel, I really appreciate how you've covered this whole saga in a fair and nuanced manner. I have so much empathy for Chidimma, as it was vile the way she got subjected to xenophobic attacks from the get-go, then got blamed for a crime she had no control over as a literal one year old. And while I'm glad Chichi got her 2nd chance in Nigeria, I can't really deny the shady optics of her being added to an already-announced roster, or that Top 5 video package sitution. I'd love to hear your thoughts on the Miss Universe Fiji debacle next.
It’s funny how Chidima has suddenly become South African now that she is on Miss Universe Nigeria stage. Anyway whether her win is was staged or not, she is going to Miss universe
Not people saying chichi won cause Nigerians had something to prove to SA and because of all the pain and trouble she went through If that’s the truth then the organisation should’ve just crowned her instead of putting all these other women the through troubles. And I personally think that a queen deserves to be crowned based on the consistency, advocacy and hard work not due to empathy. Goodluck to her thought and I’m happy that Mia and her will be at miss universe at the same time.
@@phumlanithabethe5728You forget she was coached until a week before the SA contest and was a frontrunner. South African women get excellent training so she was more than ready. Respect to the Nigerians for accepting this outcome with so graciously.
Indeed it was not a competition but a party celebration to prove a point to South Africa n exchange business deal with wat dey call Miss Nigeria:Chichi,I really feel pity for poor girls in Nigeria,who was used for party to materialize as if is a competition.
In South Africa you automatically lose your citizenship if you get citizenship in another country. Unless you write to the government before applying for second citizenship and they grant you permission. As Chidi only has SA passport she needs to first get approval from SA government to get Nigerian passport or else she will lose her her SA passport . She currently only has South African citizenship/ passport. That is why it is a complicated issue.
@@phiwemanzi9583You can't use SA rules for Naija. Once you have Nigerian parent, it's an automatic citizenship. She can apply for her passport which won't take more than a week or two to get.
@@phiwemanzi9583Though they said she is not south African enuf because of her Nigerian name... They can strip her of her S.A pasport that's okay it's not her life... Nigerians will always support their own, passport or no passport. When Nigerian government gave her passport to south africans during their suffering was because they are Africans... South Africans have alot to worry abt, than waste their energy on Nigeria, they should focus...
Nigeria is not a Xenophobic Country like SAD Africa. We don’t use the word “foreigner” on other Africans. We will never use that word that Europeans use to further divided Africa while Europe is one and Europeans can move across easily on their continent.
Call Europe, Asia and cameroon, Ghana xenophobia because they are deporting illegal Nigerians. This is what SA is doing- no illegals in my country please
You're tribalist though. There's a lot of that over there. Some Nigerians are not happy with Chidima who skipped to the finals whilst others have been there from the beginning.
You said it bro...True and real African are domiciled in Nigeria. Every African is at home in Nigeria. dont get me wrong...we aint perfect but Nigerians are among the best people you can relate with very easily
Let her be she deserve it GEEZE her prize is 10 millions Nigerians money. She took the opportunity and used it it’s only a chance in a lifetime to get such opportunity leave chichi alone
No brands, no prizes mentioned, I am also sure there are much better people even within diaspora capable of handling miss Universe but the silver bird doesn't seem to be a good enough brand to invest in over there Stuff around her son is important because if the competition accepts mothers then it follows that the question of their children's best interests is important, given how busy the pageant is.
I believe Chichi worked hard for the crown , she deserve it , to me she looks extremely beautiful and is glowing in Nigeria that when she was here even her makeup and everything was on point , I’m not comparing but stating she looks happy , and I think mentioning of South Africa was due to massive support interms of votes from SA nothing is wrong with that , I will be voting for Mia and her and I hope either one of them or our other African queens bring the crown home
If y'all noticed , most Nigerians are happy with her emergence. Even if it means she got some emotional votes, we are quite happy. For some reason most people didn't watch the interview of Murray Bruce saying it was the other girls that urged the organisers to Invite her over, after seeing what was going on with her in SA. Nobody cares if it's an emotional vote for her. She deserves her win. Besides she's a damn good looking girl, well comported for this event. Trust me most Nigerians feel good about her emergence. She will do well in Mexico. Nobody is going to toy with one of us. She has a base now. She's receiving all the love she needs and desires. We thank Sad Africans for throwing out a girl that called SA her country. It's our gain. Right now everyone needs to keep off her if you're not wishing her well. We will protect her with all we've got. Thank you for your great insight. 👍🏾👍🏾🇳🇬🇳🇬🙏🏾🙌🏾♥️
How did Ondo place higher than Rivers?Does Chidimma have Nigerian citizenship? One of MUO's rule is that delegates must be citizens of the country they are representing(proven by IDs,passports or birth certificates).Have they changed it?
You people have become monitoring spirit😂😂😂😂😂😂 It is your type south africans should go after; however, what is your problem with a country you havent been watching.😂😂😂😂😂😂
Rina, thanks for your video. We must remember that each country has their own way of celebrating a Miss Universe pageant: We mustn't compare a country's pageant with another country's pageant. Remember: their game , their rules. I listened carefully and with great respect to your views: what if Chidimma is not successful at MU? That question is totally negative. Imagine that question being asked to all the other candidates or to anyone participating in any international competition. That is a question not to be asked to anyone let's say representing a country at The Olympics, Para-Olympics, pageants, World Cup Football, etc.
My dear you're wrong, Chidima is not South African and she has never applied for citizenship under naturalization. She didn't apply because she didn't have to after having fraudulent documents
The major pageant is Most Beautiful Girl in Nigeria hosted by the silverbird group. The winner goes on to Miss World. Before the 2nd place goes to Miss Universe but there is a new regulation for miss universe that is why another pageant was set up
Finished a workout and hoped that Rina would have released this video so that I could enjoy it over dinner, and lo and behold, there it was! Spilling tea as usual. Did anyone else see Onalenna's story congratulating ChiChi? She said "now go get the Miss Universe crown". Thought that was a little messy considering she is still the 2nd Runner-Up of MissSA and she should be supporting Mia. It's one thing to say "I hope you kill it at Miss Universe", but found her wording to be funny.
Miss universe Zambia is back and former miss Maryland U S.A 2023 Savena Mushinge is among top 20 contestants, she was also miss supranational Zambia the year Lalela Mswane won . Please make a video for your neighboring country Zambia
Chi-Chi will not have a problem at Miss Universe. She is Nigerian. I am of the view that her walk was majestic and calm, hence she won. But Miss Universe do check background. They even watch country videos of amiss Universe. Let us hope for the best for her. She cannot compete for amiss SA unless she is naturalised, but she chose Nigeria.
@@ihecelestine559 not the condescension.😅 don’t really care whether she applies (for the 100th time) or not. just the very obvious favoritism that went on. congrats to all, though.
she was a formal miss universe Nigeria and top 3 in the world I'm 2019. so she is quite experienced and has been there. I think that's why they have decided to give the next best person the chance which is Chidinma
THE SHOW WAS RIGGED FROM THE START. THE HSOSTS KEPT SAYING THROUHOUT THE WHOLE SHOW THE NIGHT WAS GOING TO BE HISTORIC. AFTER THE EVENING GOWN COMPETITION, WHEN THE FEMALE HOST SAYING THE GIRLS LOOKED FABULOUS, TOTALLY HAD ME SPITTING OUT MY DINNER I HAD JUST PUT IN MY MOUTH.

THE ONE WHO PISSED ME OFF THE MOST WAS RHE THE GIRL WEARING THE PLAIN BLACK SACK (THAT THING CAN'T BE CALLED A GOWN) WITH THAT 1 INCH BLOCK HEEL. IN TOTAL, THE WHOLE SHOW WAS A COMPLETE MESS AND SHADING. THAT FEMALE PERFORMER LOWKEY THINKING THE DJ WAS STUPID WILL STUCK IN MY HEAD FOREVER. I COULD SING THE BEAT FROM FRONT TO BACK AFTER THE SHOW HAD ME GETTING NIGHTMARE.
TO BE HONEST CHIDDIMA WON THE PAGEANT !!!! MISS RIVERS HAS A PROBLEM ANSWERING QUESTIONS SHE DID MESS UP IN THE TOP 5 OF MISS WORLD AND SHE CAME BACK AND SERIOUSLY MESSED UP HER QUESTION AGAIN IN THE TOP 5 OF MISS UNIVERSE NIGERIA !!! MISS RIVERS IS NOT A GOOD SPEAKER AND FOR MISS UNIVERSE A GIRL NEEDS TO BE A VERY GOOD PUBLIC SPEAKER WHICH CHIDIMMA CLEARLY HAS THAT PERSONALITY
@@InezDowns-z5yHow people lie, she is not a good speaker and yet at her time at Miss World won the Beauty with a purpose pitch in her group? You're not okay.
Tharina Botes competed as Miss Thailand World and she is South African. So not the first time we had 2 SA ladies competing. I am not sure if Nigeria allows Dual Citizenship though.
I agree with you on the number of times the people were asked to clap. I was so exhausted watching I remember thinking if everytime they say that and I took a shot i swear by the end of the show I'd have finished two bottles of whiskey.😮😮
Silver bird didn’t want to spend money to make a well or standard pageant. They should change the organization/franchise owner already. So disgraceful…
I personally think she made a big mistake to go to Nigeria. She should have waited for everything to cool down and compete next year and also to grow more
I wonder how she feels about her mom’s alleged crime. Is she supporting her while / if she clears her name in SA ? Are they not close, or was she always closer to her Nigerian roots & not Mozambican mother. She really does seem to be running on adrenaline right now. 🤔
Hear is how we do it in Nigeria, 30 percent goes to the voting while 70 percent goes to the Georges... South Africa thought they can manipulate the pageant by voting only, Nigeria is smarter
Well done Sister Your review was Fair and Balance. This presentation is one of the best coming from Southern Africa (Namibia) Nigerians are not so into Pageantry compared to Big Brother show or Idols that explains The Budget and Standard you see because The Profit margin from this Pageant is Slim. In Nigeria If one of your Parents is Nigerian YOU have Automatic Citizenship nobody will ask for any papers from you just get your passport and DIVE in. Chidimma Deserve to WIN Her story resonates with the Purpose of Beauty Pageants which is to use Beauty as a focal point of Public Discussion and Change the narrative on Social Issues. The Issues that Chidimma bring to focus are Migration, Citizenship, Freedom of Aspiration. Thank GOD for Nigeria GOD Bless Africa !
South Africa did not appreciate their own (Chi Chi) so I am happy she got the opportunity elsewhere. Who knows maybe she will make Nigeria her home. A place where she is respected.
Chidinma already had DUAL citizenship. She has a Nigerian passport..which is allowed because of her father's nationality. Which means she is considered as a Nigerian ( in diaspora ). Many Nigerians who were not born in Nigeria are returning home to help bringing back their wealth of experience.. So she wont need a visa to enter Nigeria..she would only need to get the normal documentation to "work" in Nigeria for this year and further..and any Nigerian agency or simple lawyer can get that for her easily.
Chidinma doesn't and didn't have dual citizenship. Where did you get that? watch the first interview that the Nigerian president of the Silva group did. He was aware that Chidinma didn't have dual citizenship. She was fraudulently registered as South African. Even said that according to Chidinma, the case was dropped which was not true. Even South African officials are stressing about leaving her stateless was they complete the case. Watch the South African Home Affairs interviews regarding this matter.
As an African following to see the ladies representing Africa in Mexico this season, i would definitely agree that we have strong candidates. I feel like the crowning event for Nigeria was not as I expected. 😢
Chidimma is not a SAn.......she said ,she won't go back to SA again, that means she doesn't want to have anything to do with SA, is very wrong for u to call her SAn and the never give up energy in that girl is typically Nigerian 🇳🇬 blood in her
I was waiting for you to tell the truth about this miss universe Nigeria, I didn't want to heard to other people because of Bais and jealous , I am proud SA🇿🇦♥️🙏
MISS RIVERS HAS POSTED ON HER STORY THAT SHE WILL COMEBACK NEXT YEAR. I HOPE THIRD TIME IS THE CHARM.
SHE IS STILL A YOUNG GIRL !!! SHE SHOULD TRY AGAIN, SHE JUST NEEDS TO FOCUS ON THE LAST QUESTION AND ANSWER, SEGMENT !!
She still won't win b/c she's already won one of the titles b/4 & done her time on the world stage. She was top 5 in the Miss World Pageant, but Miss Jamaica won the title that year & she went viral for being so happy for Miss Jamaica. There's a reason fresh faces have been given the crown every year. Miss Rivers need to sign up with one of the top modelling agencies in Paris or New York or send her video to Victoria's Secret.

@DGANGMODISE First, her South African nationality was questionable. Now, it's the Silverbird Group. Dear South Africans, please make up your minds. It seems anything Nigerian irks you very much. She neither has to deal with hate, threats, xenophobic behaviours, nor is vying for Miss Universe South Africa crown. This should be a happy moment for all. You couldn't and still can't stand her; yet Nigeria loves & embraced her. South Africans said she's not qualified to represent you; she got her opportunity in Nigeria. All Chidinma really wanted was a chance at Miss Universe, which she got. Anything beyond this is unadulterated hatred, envy & jealousy. Persisting on this mission has raised her profile and exposed who you truly are on a global stage.
FINALLY!! I kept refreshing my home page waiting for your upload.
Same here ... kept checking if Rina had expressed her opinion as yet 🤣🤣🤣
Ms Rivers is the true winner ...The integrity of the organisers is questionable!!!... In my opinion the world stage should not allow this participant onto the world stage in Mexico...Chidimma didn't go through the process from start to finish and it was an injustice to All the other contestants.
Let me comment Nigerians for the love they gave her despite her being born and raised in SA , I think they are very united and loving country , I think she also deserve some love from SA not hatred she was born and raised here after all it is her home , she can have dual citizenship, she is finally living her dream of competing at Miss Universe and the love and support in Nigeria is massive I am positive she will make Nigeria proud at MU she will also make SA proud 😊 I wish her designer for MU be VeekeeJames , she is so beautiful
Nigeria is happy with Chidinma. We recognise her and we claim her. She is Welcome home. Miss universe or not. She is in her fathers land. Loved and accepted. Successful or not.
They were trying to spite SA, but now it is clear that the last minute addition of Chi-Chi has jeopardised the girls who have been there from beginning.

The reason why 3 out of the top 10 were paid votes is the reason why Silverbird's been hosting MBGN since '87 with amateur quality, and it is the same reason why they've yet to crown Nyekachi(Miss Rivers). It's CORRUPTION.
I'm Nigerian so trust me when I say the country is highly corrupt. They'd rather pocket their sponsor's funds than invest in their show and queens. And because Nyekachi called it out a couple of years ago, they refused to crown QUALITY. Shame!
I'm glad you reviewed this, Rina! ❤I'm second-hand embarrassed 💀
As a Nigerian, which of the sponsors you saw in their advert can give that huge fund you are talking about, is it checkers or lush? Sponsorship is not always in monetary form, it could be products, it could barter for using any of their other businesses like the cinema. This a privately own company, no govt or oil and gas support. Is it beans to run a business for 38 years in Nigeria?
This is some ones business, let him run it in peace please. Nyeka can come back next year, better still she should go and build a career in modelling.
@@charityfubara2340 ok so your point is that they’re genuinely investing in their business and this is the best they have and can offer?
Nigeria has some of the best musicians in Africa but why wouldn’t they pay even a couple of not so well-known artists to come and perform here? The organisers have their highest viewership this year through them using Chichi for their ambush marketing, they could have upped the production value at least & paid lighting guys, designers, etc to make dresses with a similar theme for all of them at least. Also, I’m not suprised Chichi won. She’s been well-groomed by Miss SA organisation’s boot camp & The Crown Chasers series. She’ll do well internationally too. All the best to her. 🇿🇦
Interesting. But very sad to hear that
The way crowning of the winner went, It wouldn't come as a surprise that the organisers may have striked a deal with Chidimma, that they will hand her the crown, and, an opportunity to represent the country In Mexico along side this current Miss South Africa. In return the organiser get to keep part of the prize. It is questionable that they broadcast a pre recorded interview only of Chidimma acknowledging being in the top 5 before officially announcing the remaining contestants, This indicated she knew all along. I rooted for Chidimma to win, but it is obvious the crowning was rigged.
From the moment they reached out to Chidimma I just knew they were gonna hand her that crown on a bronze platter. Congratulations to her regardless
A bronze platter with a Temu crown, I may add, if the rumours are true.
For them to invite chi chi to the pageant without her going through the process was giving favouratisim, but congratulations
That whole pageant was so cringe, and why did only Chichi have the top 5 video? The whole thing was just like a normal party and not a national pageant, disappointing!
She is running on adraline, her PR team is failing her. I wish she took a break and give it a try next year. In my view I do not forsee Miss Universe international crowning Nigeria this year and risk being associated with a winner who is marred by controversy, to represent the organisation globally, knowing that the national organiser cheated the other contestants to crowned Chidimma just to spite South Africa? The organisers seemed to have breach a code of ethics. About Chidimma, she is innocent for now, but what if it turned out that at some point she found out the truth about her mother and conceal it? She may be nailed for accessory to crime. Post interview Chidimma was asked to open up about the Miss South Africa controversy, it was heartbreaking to see her having a meltdown Iive on a tv show. Unfortunately this won't be the last time she hear of that question. In regard to her participation in the contest, if indeed the girls were selfless, they voluntarily gave up such a huge opportunity to hand Chidimma the crown out of sympathy, they have not comprehend what they have done yet. It is a matter of time when it all sinks in, some may have woke up this morning with mixed feelings and sooner or later they will start speaking up especially those who have nothing to lose.

I am a Nigerian My Daughter was in America,Is She Not a Nigerian? Despite the fact that She Doesn’t Have Nigerian Accent? Please Grow Up

@aaronbeckley7614 Why would ur daughter have a Nigerian accent? She didn't grow up in Nigeria. The owner of this channel clarified that she has been living in Namibia 🇳🇦 for 10 years, but I always suspected that she lived in South Africa before. Don't be mad at us, South Africans. Who knows how our people sound like wherever they are if they have lived in South Africa before. I am pretty sure that u, as a Nigerian wherever u are in the world, can also suspect if that person is from Nigeria by their accent because Nigeria is ur country
We know that Chidimma is South African by her accents she grew up with our people but her originality is the problem but was gonna be fixed If she didn't act rationally but I am happy for her.
How did you overlook the moment when her crown fell off her head and nobody panicked? It was no big deal, just like water under the bridge, because everyone knew it was fake. If that happened when a real crown fell, the room would fall silent - you'd even hear a pin drop.
But this is what I'm saying 😂😂😂😂
I'm glad to know that South Africans tuned in to watch this. She won huu huu. The only thing that confuses me is the host of this post kept saying we are South Africans but, I'm trying to find her, cos I can't see South Africans
😂😂😂
It has happened in series of Global contests, and this should not be an exception
Can't You Just hit the nail on the head and stop wondering about the news. Your diction is horrible. Keep noticing . Like it or not Chidinma is the Queen
They ivited her to win. Not to compete. Corruption at it large. But its Nigerian its how they do things..
Coruption! Coruption! and beyond Coruption - Nigeria only knows corruption- This young lady may have won, but at what cost? What about the tens of thousands of young Nigerian women who spent months preparing, only to have it all dismissed to make a foolish point? Plain and simple, this is wrong. What have we gained from this? Nothing but the pursuit of a ridiculous agenda.
Sour grapes, my dear. Sour grapes
Felt like i was watching a year end function.. however, Rivers was leaps and Bounds above all the other girls, it’s clear Nigerians are just looking for a Queen but not an international Crown.
You guys obviously don't understand thr business of pageantry. It is not an NGO, it is a business, and a very wise business decision was taken. MUN is already being discussed globally. Do you know what it takes for a brand to be a topic of discussion around the global? Nigerian are business oriented we didn't build our career and businesses from govt grants. When we see opportunities we grab them. That is very we excel anywhere we find ourselves in the world.

Your commentary is ALWAYS spot on and HILLARIOUS! Another amazing review.
I personally am happy with the results - even if Rivers who is forever my favorite Nigerian queen didn't win. I strongly believe that if she comes back a third time - it will be the perfect time to win!
I think the Top 5 were neck and neck in Q&A - with the eventual 1RU my fave interview of the lot - and I think she will do well in Supranational.
Chichi was great overall and glad she won - but she needs A LOT of work in catwalk training and interview to win MU let alone crack the Top 10.
At best, she can place as a finalist but the calibre this year will eat her alive!
Finally for a big country like Nigeria - they can definitely do better in terms of production and staging going forward.
Chidima was promised the crown. That's why she didn't care that South African Officials are looking for her criminal mother who committed crime regarding theft for her identity.
She is a Queen
@@SA_Barbie Chidinma is a Nigerian,and she is the best.
@SA_Barbie Sour grapes, my dear. Sour grapes.
Nigeria is not a pageant country. We do not here about beauty pageants and that is the reason for the low turnout . Big brother Nigeria, and Nigeria Idol Sunday live get millions of viewers . Pageant is not really something Nigerians and Ghanians care about, and that’s why brands and sponsors don’t spend money investing in it. Big brother Naija winner go home 100 million naira, that is 100 thousand dollars , and a car, home appliances, all expenses paid vacation. Nigerian idol winner go home with 40 Million Naira, that’s 40 thousand dollars, a car, phones and other prizes. Those are shows Nigeria care about, so brand and sponsors spend money on them. Silver bird group barely make any money from Miss Universe Nigeria.
Well I'm sure you know where BigBrother Titans was held and Khosi Thwala, a South African won it through votes. We do both. Miss Universe is best though because it has far more serious impact on the World and addresses social issues. Zozi Tunzi had so much impact when she won
@@1HourOf. Nigeria has the highest Big Brother Africa winners than any African countries. Nigerians weren’t interested in Big Brother Titans because if Nigerians were interested, Khosi would not have won. You guys don’t have the numbers to win against Nigeria in terms of public voting.
BBtitan was boring, i ever even tuned in for a day. Nigerians are not interested in beauty pageants if Nigerians were interested , no African country would be able to match Nigeria in terms of production. SilverBird is just one man business trying to hold the Miss universe Nigeria franchise for years, but Nigerians do not care enough to support it. Our Big Brother Naija, The Voice Nigeria and Nigeria idol winners have more followers , make more money than pageant winners in Nigeria. Pageant is not a priority in Nigeria anymore, it was in the 80s and 90s but not anymore
I watched Miss Universe Nigeria last year, and as a result, I passed on it this year. The show is poorly produced.
I also don't know what to think about her win. I genuinely thought they invited her for the show to trend. I also think her experience at Miss SA might help her place at Miss Universe.
It would be wild if she tried to compete at Miss South Africa again. Why put yourself through repeat trauma.
Agreed. The Nigerian Queen is much better.
Miss Universe Nigeria is 100% not a pageant that can be taken seriously!
They should really try and forge a path for themselves by improving their production value. South Africa does not have to be the only decent pageant on the continent.
As a Nigerian🇳🇬,this year's Miss Universe Nigeria feels like a scripted event. Yes she should be in the top 5 but being crowned the winner that's a big no for me. I didn't watch the finale because I already know the result, from experience as a contestant.
😂
You didn't watch the final and you have an opinion? Abeg shift. Let the girl be
You mad bc you never won shut up next go sit down
The whole competition was just a charade to crown Chichi....Nigeria is making itself a joke.
Just one question: DO NIGERIAN PEOPLE AGREE WITH THE VICTORY OF THE CURRENT MISS UNIVERSE NIGERIA? IF YES... LEAVE THEM IN PEACE.😏

Who cares ? Beauty pageant is the least of our problems. If not for the whole Chidinma saga, who cares and why will anyone have issues with her winning if she was the best contestants? She is Nigerian in every sense of it.
They don't have standards they just go with the flow
APPARENTLY, THERE IS NO RULE IN THE MUO THAT A GIRL CAN'T COMPETE TWICE. NATASHA JOUBERT SAID DURING AN INTERVIEW A FEW DAYS AGO.
As someone who's new to your channel, I really appreciate how you've covered this whole saga in a fair and nuanced manner.
I have so much empathy for Chidimma, as it was vile the way she got subjected to xenophobic attacks from the get-go, then got blamed for a crime she had no control over as a literal one year old.
And while I'm glad Chichi got her 2nd chance in Nigeria, I can't really deny the shady optics of her being added to an already-announced roster, or that Top 5 video package sitution.
I'd love to hear your thoughts on the Miss Universe Fiji debacle next.
It’s funny how Chidima has suddenly become South African now that she is on Miss Universe Nigeria stage. Anyway whether her win is was staged or not, she is going to Miss universe
I'm South African, it shows how rigged it is
Not people saying chichi won cause Nigerians had something to prove to SA and because of all the pain and trouble she went through
If that’s the truth then the organisation should’ve just crowned her instead of putting all these other women the through troubles.
And I personally think that a queen deserves to be crowned based on the consistency, advocacy and hard work not due to empathy.
Goodluck to her thought and I’m happy that Mia and her will be at miss universe at the same time.
What hard work did Chichi? Did she stand on the line going to Auditions like other Contestants? You guys have no Shame
@@phumlanithabethe5728You forget she was coached until a week before the SA contest and was a frontrunner. South African women get excellent training so she was more than ready. Respect to the Nigerians for accepting this outcome with so graciously.
What is Chidimma’s advocacy?
Indeed it was not a competition but a party celebration to prove a point to South Africa n exchange business deal with wat dey call Miss Nigeria:Chichi,I really feel pity for poor girls in Nigeria,who was used for party to materialize as if is a competition.
In Nigeria, if your father is a Nigerian, you are Nigerian first before any other citizenship.
In South Africa you automatically lose your citizenship if you get citizenship in another country. Unless you write to the government before applying for second citizenship and they grant you permission. As Chidi only has SA passport she needs to first get approval from SA government to get Nigerian passport or else she will lose her her SA passport . She currently only has South African citizenship/ passport. That is why it is a complicated issue.
@@phiwemanzi9583You can't use SA rules for Naija. Once you have Nigerian parent, it's an automatic citizenship. She can apply for her passport which won't take more than a week or two to get.
@@phiwemanzi9583Though they said she is not south African enuf because of her Nigerian name... They can strip her of her S.A pasport that's okay it's not her life... Nigerians will always support their own, passport or no passport. When Nigerian government gave her passport to south africans during their suffering was because they are Africans... South Africans have alot to worry abt, than waste their energy on Nigeria, they should focus...
@@phiwemanzi9583she is on Nigeria diplomatic passport. She is still has her SA passport.
Nigeria is not a Xenophobic Country like SAD Africa. We don’t use the word “foreigner” on other Africans. We will never use that word that Europeans use to further divided Africa while Europe is one and Europeans can move across easily on their continent.
why are you lying.. This is just not true.. chai.. My people can tell stories. Liars association of Nigeria in effect
Call Europe, Asia and cameroon, Ghana xenophobia because they are deporting illegal Nigerians. This is what SA is doing- no illegals in my country please
You're tribalist though. There's a lot of that over there. Some Nigerians are not happy with Chidima who skipped to the finals whilst others have been there from the beginning.
@@thandiswabonani5303 is it not genuine to raise such concern which was not as serious as you seems to want to paint it
You said it bro...True and real African are domiciled in Nigeria. Every African is at home in Nigeria. dont get me wrong...we aint perfect but Nigerians are among the best people you can relate with very easily
Let her be she deserve it GEEZE her prize is 10 millions Nigerians money. She took the opportunity and used it it’s only a chance in a lifetime to get such opportunity leave chichi alone
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
She didn't win she was appointed as MUN.
Not laughing on Prestigious peagent 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I saw on Tiktok the Tables were empty.
I wanted NYEKACHI to win so bad,but her answer failed her 😅i would have liked ufa Dania to win 😢
No brands, no prizes mentioned, I am also sure there are much better people even within diaspora capable of handling miss Universe but the silver bird doesn't seem to be a good enough brand to invest in over there
Stuff around her son is important because if the competition accepts mothers then it follows that the question of their children's best interests is important, given how busy the pageant is.
Honestly, Nigeria has a very long way to go if they want to compete with South Africa
I believe Chichi worked hard for the crown , she deserve it , to me she looks extremely beautiful and is glowing in Nigeria that when she was here even her makeup and everything was on point , I’m not comparing but stating she looks happy , and I think mentioning of South Africa was due to massive support interms of votes from SA nothing is wrong with that , I will be voting for Mia and her and I hope either one of them or our other African queens bring the crown home
If y'all noticed , most Nigerians are happy with her emergence. Even if it means she got some emotional votes, we are quite happy. For some reason most people didn't watch the interview of Murray Bruce saying it was the other girls that urged the organisers to Invite her over, after seeing what was going on with her in SA. Nobody cares if it's an emotional vote for her. She deserves her win. Besides she's a damn good looking girl, well comported for this event. Trust me most Nigerians feel good about her emergence. She will do well in Mexico. Nobody is going to toy with one of us. She has a base now. She's receiving all the love she needs and desires. We thank Sad Africans for throwing out a girl that called SA her country. It's our gain. Right now everyone needs to keep off her if you're not wishing her well. We will protect her with all we've got.
Thank you for your great insight. 👍🏾👍🏾🇳🇬🇳🇬🙏🏾🙌🏾♥️
Emotions and bias… hence why Nigeria has never won 1 miss universe 🤡 continue
How did Ondo place higher than Rivers?Does Chidimma have Nigerian citizenship? One of MUO's rule is that delegates must be citizens of the country they are representing(proven by IDs,passports or birth certificates).Have they changed it?

You people have become monitoring spirit😂😂😂😂😂😂 It is your type south africans should go after; however, what is your problem with a country you havent been watching.😂😂😂😂😂😂
Rina, thanks for your video. We must remember that each country has their own way of celebrating a Miss Universe pageant: We mustn't compare a country's pageant with another country's pageant. Remember: their game , their rules. I listened carefully and with great respect to your views: what if Chidimma is not successful at MU? That question is totally negative. Imagine that question being asked to all the other candidates or to anyone participating in any international competition. That is a question not to be asked to anyone let's say representing a country at The Olympics, Para-Olympics, pageants, World Cup Football, etc.
She won't apply,, I think they already gave it to her I think Nigeria is Avery interesting country when it comes to rules and regulation
Congratulations to chichi Nigeria is bigger platform to achieve her dreams
😊😊😊miss Anambra yes is an American Nigerian girl and with strong Nigerian roots .I love her shes very down to earth
My dear you're wrong, Chidima is not South African and she has never applied for citizenship under naturalization.
She didn't apply because she didn't have to after having fraudulent documents
Everybody is now a content creator because of Chidima. 😅😅
The major pageant is Most Beautiful Girl in Nigeria hosted by the silverbird group. The winner goes on to Miss World. Before the 2nd place goes to Miss Universe but there is a new regulation for miss universe that is why another pageant was set up
Rivers is also too gud... Iam sad for her
She was former miss universe Nigeria so don't expect her to win again
Miss world Nigeria, not universe 😅 that's why she entered Universe@@samuelanomnachi2808
Please can someone tell me , which Hospital was Chidimma born in South Africa ? Was that proven she was born here ? Just asking ….
You're an A S square
She was born in Baragwana hospital
Finished a workout and hoped that Rina would have released this video so that I could enjoy it over dinner, and lo and behold, there it was! Spilling tea as usual. Did anyone else see Onalenna's story congratulating ChiChi? She said "now go get the Miss Universe crown". Thought that was a little messy considering she is still the 2nd Runner-Up of MissSA and she should be supporting Mia. It's one thing to say "I hope you kill it at Miss Universe", but found her wording to be funny.
I saw this as well nd I was like that is major shade 😂😂😂

Chi-Chi will not have a problem at Miss Universe. She is Nigerian. I am of the view that her walk was majestic and calm, hence she won. But Miss Universe do check background. They even watch country videos of amiss Universe. Let us hope for the best for her. She cannot compete for amiss SA unless she is naturalised, but she chose Nigeria.

Congratulations to Chidimma. It's a done deal🎉.
I personally think she made a big mistake to go to Nigeria. She should have waited for everything to cool down and compete next year and also to grow more
She is already a champion and you are here whining
I wonder how she feels about her mom’s alleged crime. Is she supporting her while / if she clears her name in SA ? Are they not close, or was she always closer to her Nigerian roots & not Mozambican mother. She really does seem to be running on adrenaline right now. 🤔

Your review was Fair and Balance. This presentation is one of the best coming from Southern Africa (Namibia)
Nigerians are not so into Pageantry compared to Big Brother show or Idols that explains The Budget and Standard you see because The Profit margin from this Pageant is Slim.

If one of your Parents is Nigerian YOU have Automatic Citizenship nobody will ask for any papers from you just get your passport and DIVE in.
Chidimma Deserve to WIN
Her story resonates with the Purpose of Beauty Pageants which is to use Beauty as a focal point of Public Discussion and Change the narrative on Social Issues.
The Issues that Chidimma bring to focus are Migration, Citizenship, Freedom of Aspiration.
Thank GOD for Nigeria
GOD Bless Africa !
South Africa did not appreciate their own (Chi Chi) so I am happy she got the opportunity elsewhere. Who knows maybe she will make Nigeria her home. A place where she is respected.
the girl with those short blue heels was so funny.😂 her walk didn’t help either. eish.
Chidinma already had DUAL citizenship. She has a Nigerian passport..which is allowed because of her father's nationality. Which means she is considered as a Nigerian ( in diaspora ). Many Nigerians who were not born in Nigeria are returning home to help bringing back their wealth of experience.. So she wont need a visa to enter Nigeria..she would only need to get the normal documentation to "work" in Nigeria for this year and further..and any Nigerian agency or simple lawyer can get that for her easily.
Chidinma doesn't and didn't have dual citizenship. Where did you get that? watch the first interview that the Nigerian president of the Silva group did. He was aware that Chidinma didn't have dual citizenship. She was fraudulently registered as South African. Even said that according to Chidinma, the case was dropped which was not true. Even South African officials are stressing about leaving her stateless was they complete the case. Watch the South African Home Affairs interviews regarding this matter.
She doesn’t have a Nigerian passport.
Chidimma doesn’t have dual citizenship...certainly not from South Africa
As an African following to see the ladies representing Africa in Mexico this season, i would definitely agree that we have strong candidates. I feel like the crowning event for Nigeria was not as I expected. 😢
An immediate win contender. I love it. This girl isn't taking any prisoners.
It was disorganized..
Why are you jealous???????
You just mentioned that you are a South African.
