But it's clear they ain't ready to follow their law which is why we are Africans. Law or no law you'll be identified by your paternal root as an African

The law of a country supersedes that of ur ceremonial or local traditional/state paternal roots.

If u are born in America u are automatically an American. There is no argument who ur father or mother was or is.

Sizwe Bansi died

Myrrhis:
What are you even saying?
Should they ignore the fact that her mother is a South African?

The main reason why they have issues with her is because she's partly Nigerian.
Whether they accept it or not, she's partly South African also, so she's eligible.

Her mum is from Mozambique

You people are wasting your time reasoning with South African dolts...!

Their leaders are clearly as xenophobic as the citizens.

If not for desperation and poor leadership in Nigeria, wetin suppose carry a citizen of Nigeria go settle dey drag citizenship for South Africa?!!

LAZY SOUTH AFRICANS

brain54:
Seems to me south Africans...

Wouldn't have had any problem with her contesting if she had any other country's ancestry.

The grudge here is she having Nigerian ancestry!

Exactly.

It’s a pride/rivalry/ego thing for them.

Many Africans born in Europe by African parents are representing these countries and winning awards in these countries.
SA, learn to embrace talent.
She met ur law condition if she was born there and at least one of her parents is a South African or holds permanent residence VISA.

South African Officials will even break their own laws out of chronic xenophobia buoyed by inferiority complex.

This is what 400 years of slavery has done to black South Africa

I learnt there are other contestants from even China and Europe. But its only the Nigerian girl they are attacking

EreluRoz:
I kind of agree with them, she's Nigerian and not south African

A person born in south Africa is a south African. That's their law.

raskymonojendor:
She even lost more support in the last 24 hours as a result of a video trending on South African social media.

In the video, She went to visit what sort of looks like an Ibo union association and those ones where chest beating on video in Ibo and English about how chidinma was going to win the contest.

Ok she should deny her family members to please hate filled strangers on the Internet?

Africans and Nigerians should let people be themselves and thrive. Stop this pull down mentality.

This is what has made us backwards. Whites are proud of their roots and mixed heritage. African hate on their mixed heritage and discriminate on their fellow blacks.

Backwards african/black mentality

Olodo Tunde..Ur hatred over igbos would kpai you one day if u continue in this diabolical hatred over the children of God,,while ur tribe is children of jezebel ..See the kind high volume of sweat and energy u just vomited cos the headline said igbo lady...But, u turned blind eyes if the headline is hausa fulani rap*ing afonj** women. A Yoruba man who contested in UK by name Olusola Oni is who again? Your tribe js evil and full of envy and hatred whenever you see or hear igbo ,the reason why igbo kept paying you guys in ur coin cos ur life is full of betrayal and hatred that ran in.ut linage.But, igbo don't. Send about ur hatred cos we also hated u guy with vemon.heart too and we keep dominating u in ur area
So, in Enugu chief sojo Salau who was welcomed and built mansion in Enugu is who?

Pepperdemisback:
Stop shifting post, Chinedu is an apologetic bigot who never associated himself with his father's root. Has no Yoruba name but adopted one just for election, doesn't understand Yoruba and never cared about it, insults his father's land online and offline publicly but hasn't apologized for his bigotry post up till today.
Bianca married Ojukwu for 22 years but denied Election in Anambra. Akeredodu's wife was flogged with canes by Igbos in Imo state. So, go drink cold Fanta.
Go and look at her names well, they are Igbo names and Surname mispelt. So, her father must be another confused Chinedu from Biafra who wants to develop SA.
By the way, you belong to your maternal roots in South Africa and maybe Ghana.

YorubaPrince:
She's a South African with Nigerian parents.

We blacks are our own biggest problems. All the past winners of this useless event have been whites, and these fools had no issues with it till a black lady with Nigerian background.

You wonder why black pple can never progress.

with all due respect, you sound racist. The whites were south Africans and I am very sure Nigerians will not tolerate a Ghanaian winning anything in Nigeria.

This ugly behaviour of black South Africans,eeh!
And who is still wondering why Whites instituted the Apartheid policy against them?
They have seen it all with these xenophobic savages.

how can one person be this racist

Had this situation been in Nigeria, an army of "Nigerians" would have taken to social media to insult everyone in Nigeria, call for the dissolution of the organising body if not the country itself, insult their ancestors for allowing them to be born in Nigeria, shout that no civilised nation would do such a thing and so on.

As far as her name is chiding, she is not South African

She is a Biafran and must be stopped from participating.

Let her go to Biafra Republic and contest.

Nonsense Attachee by force

Gayton's head like Moimoi don with leaves🙄

A Portuguese - Angolan girl represented South Africa at Miss Universe and came out second.

You know what? There was no uproar cos her skin colour is white.

South Africans have gotten freedom but have not mentally freed themselves.

...and what nationality is this lady in question? Dutch? German?

You're indeed MADDD!

xenophobia is very prevalent in southafrica, its a shame on them, this one is a different ball game

Pepperdemisback:
In South Africa and Ghana, it seems they claim mother land but not father's land. If she wants to represent SA, why displaying Nigeria culture there, she's confused.

She doesn't display Nigeria culture, it was Nigerians living there that are complicating the issues. They all know South Africans well, why associating with the girl in order to spite the SA? Nigerians living in SA are not using their brains at all, what ever interior motives they have should have been kept hidden till the girl achieve her aim.

I support them 100%. Before you castigate them, remember the tribalism we practice everyday. Make una carry una hypocrisy go one corner.

I'v never been proud associating myself with Africans though. This same blacks that will cry "Racism" when a white police officers misuse their office but the same black monkeys will still come home and were never better than their oppressors morally.

Double standard bigots.

EreluRoz:
It doesn't make her a south African simply because she was born there. I take side with them on this

Nothing worthy of thought should be expected from a typical tribalist. People like you will make this country split up eventually. We are only buying time. Someone who was born in a place, has lived there all her life, lives and breathes their culture, of a maternal South African descent, you still label as non-Southie?

I am not surprised, it's the way you discriminate against other Nigerians in your region. Africans are a backward race but a few.

South Africa need to be colonize again,why are they not fighting the whites that punished them overtime but continue to fight their African brothers that helped fight apartheid so that they will be free?

Me tribalist? How? Any proof?

Can a S/A be that beautiful?

They only have back sides!

Simple as ABC. Just as I stated in my earlier submission when this thing first made the news

Nigerians won't accept the same if the tables were turned. They certainly won't accept a Miss Nigeria with obvious SA roots and name

How?

EreluRoz:
I kind of agree with them, she's Nigerian and not south African

Lezzlie:

ok lezzlie but they don't follow their law as it is now.
