The finals of this year’s Miss World beauty pageant have been held in the northeastern Chinese mining city of Ordos, Inner Mongolia, located on the edge of the Gobi desert.

True to pre-event predictions, China’s Wenxia YU, was crowned Miss World 2012 at a thrilling ceremony held on the weekend of Saturday August 18. She takes over from Miss World 2011 Ivian Sarcos of Venezuela.

The post-event debate about whether China truly deserved the crown is to be expected, as it follows the tradition of a global showpiece that has gone through some phases since its inception, but remains the world’s most patronized beauty pageant.

This year marked the 62nd edition, and saw some 116 countries taking part, including the newly independent African nation South Sudan.

Represented at the world stage this year by the ever gorgeous and stunning Atong Demach, South Sudan managed to create history by winning the coveted Miss World Africa prize, also known as the “African Continental Queen of Beauty”, on their first ever shot at the world title.

I truly believe and stand by my statement. She is truly Gorgeous like most truly beautiful South Sudanese I know. I know that a lot of Nigerians have hang ups about "dark" skins etc but that's their wahala not mine . I am a man so I know what I like or do not like . Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I challenge anybody who thinks that they are better looking to post their photograph and let's judge who's more intelligent, pretty/beautiful, taller et al than the current South Sudanese- Miss Africa(world). I am happy and proud that my choice for the title was successful. She's a true reflection/representation of Africa and not some washed out, bleaching, false/fake-brazilian hair wearing females that populate Naija cities. It is ugly and sad! Naija babes are ok but they should ease up on the "fakeness". It is not attractive .
