No. of Paragraph 25

I doubt any Miss Universe Nigeria contest has attracted as much attention or polarisation as the recently concluded one, which crowned Miss Chidimma Adetshina as its winner. Unless you've been off the radar (stuck in space or locked up in a room without access to social media or news), you most likely know of the xenophobic-tinted hostility Chidimma faced for wanting to contest in Miss South Africa. The attack on her was further fueled by South Africa's Minister of Sports, Arts and Culture, Gayton McKenzie--a figure with a highly controversial past, including a history of bank robbery and gang activity.

The allegation is that Chidimma is not really South African because her nationality (through her mother) was acquired fraudulently. Chidimma quit the pageantry and accepted the invitation from Nigeria to contest in its Miss Universe. She came, she saw, she conquered. This has now led to some perplexing reactions from certain Nigerians.

I came across a comment that read, "Nevertheless, she (Chidimma Adetshina) robbed one of the other girls who were there from the very beginning of a chance to reign." This perspective is misguided. Competitions are not democratic processes governed by sentiment or seniority or any other arbitrary criterion outside of the contest's framework; they are about performance and merit.

The central question should be: Did Chidimma deserve to win? If the answer is yes, then there should be no "nevertheless." The comment acknowledges that Chidimma's victory was earned, so the notion of her "robbing" someone else of the win is silly. To "rob" implies taking something that wasn't rightfully yours, but winning a competition is not about entitlement; it's about merit.
