question-

should states not be represented by indigenes?

i am sure people would have found it weird if mgbn was from owerri and was of yoruba or hausa ethnicity

Sounds like a lot of sour grapes here.
Looking at the girl, she's certainly pretty, not ugly at all.

Why can't Nigerians simply accept that someone could win a competition / get through a job interview without bribery / sleeping with judges / employers? 
Regardless of who would have won, there'll always be those that don't agree, and those that do.

That girl won fair and square, if you feel you can do better, (females) then go contest, or guys should get their girlfriends to see if they can do better!
Never seen so many negative remarks, shouldn't you guys at least be proud there Nigeria has beautiful girls to begin with?

That's because you find Igbo people everywhere compared to other ethnic groups.

Its impossible to get indigenes from all states to be represented in the competition. For instance, tell me one girl from Nassarawa state that won't get her limbs chopped off after participating in an event like this?
Just so each state is represented in the competition, 37 girls are picked (including the girl representing FCT) from the number of girls that are initially screened and then these 37 girls get to pick a state to represent via balloting. Thats why it seems like a Yoruba girl might be representing Abia while an Igbo girl is representing Borno.

PS, that girl is pretty, you all can shut your respective traps!

Its not impossible to get each state represented, but it may not be advisable.

I dont think Nassarawa is a sharia state. Is it?

Nigerians just like to carry politics and religion on their heads, thats all. Other west African countries with high Muslim populations still send representatives to international beauty pageants.  A late French supermodel was from Guinea. North Africa and Egypt also have their own competitions.

I dont think the northern states are represented per se though you're probably right about the reasons since it might be dangerous for the girls to participate in the swimsuit competition. But I think what happens is the organizers just pick girls from the pool in front of them, and assign them states. They either dont go out of their way to match the state with the indigene, or they intentionally match some states with non-indigenes. Besides, after the Miss World riots in Abuja or somewhere, they have to tread softly.

In any case, na all of them sabi. All these things are just based on politics and cash.

Anyway, I'll give the organizers some credit and asume they have their reasons for anything they're doing.

Thats what I meant when I said its impossible. Of course its possible but who will do it? At least not after the Miss World incidence. Hence it is impossible, consequentially.

Beauty contest is usually not only abt beauty, you know. FUNCTION of the brain is also in question.

I attended dat contest. The camera man did nt do anything dats hw d girl is. She ws nt even d most beautiful among d contestants. Smone said smthing abt miss Gombe she shld hv won it. Glory is nt just Ordinary she is old n her make up artist did a very bad job or maybe makeup does nt fit her. The girl expression wen her name ws called as d winner ws like ' wow its me' u knw she wsnt surprised at all unlike all d other past MBGN's. Evrybody present were very disappointed atleast 90%. That girl cn neva win Miss World.
