idahme: Don't mind these bigots, they have exported their bigoted mindset in crucifying the lady. Someone who holds citizenship and these fulls are talking about her as if she isn't from South Africa rather from Nigeria. Someone who holds an SA passport because her father is aa. Nigerian is who these bigots are saying shouldn't represent south Africa because she is black and has a Nigerian father.
Once anyone has a passport that person has equal rights and privileges like others
You miss a point, she doesn't have south african valid documents. This has nothing to do with Nigerians
idahme: There is nothing to defend, Social media is not the court, if you have grievances go to the court and bring a suit against her. She should not reply anyone, she has left the stage so be it let her leave the xenoPeople and do her things.
Someone who is born in South Africa, given south African citizenship is who those xenoPeople are Messing with, sh has same rights like any other citizen of South Africa. If I was her I wouldn't withdraw let's see what will happen,
She won't go to court because she doesn't have valid south african documents.
idahme: The OP and other commenters are so naive and uninformed.
Nigerians who hold passport of other nationalities have same rights with aborigines. What the OP is saying is that once you relocate and give birth to a child in America and that child is given an American passport he or she shouldn't think of reaching the highest peak in America because you were born by a Nigerian parents
E be like say ur papa really waste him money educating you and some other commenter. Una head just dey empty
You miss a point, chidimma parents does not have south african documents.
UpaIweka: None of the case you stated is applicable to Chidinma. Her parent got her SA citizenship illegally.
Organisers won't know if her birth certificate or any SA she tendered are fraud only the home affairs will n they have since declared there is such possibility with investigation ongoing.
If you like hold South African residence for a millennium untill you are granted citizenship you are no South African. Chidinma father n mother were not granted citizenship.
Every SA TV show I watched states this fact, I guess your own delusion will not let you hear or see it even when it's clearly stated countless time.
Do you also know that South Africa revoke citizenship n permit on the road without any recourse to court or due process. The fact is we all know the truth but tribal sentiment will not let you breath.
I wish no diplomatic intervention stops the investigation n her status as citizen is ascertain for all to see.
gidgiddy: Why don't you use your brains? It's no secret that Chidimma's parents are not South Africans. If it were true that either of her parents had to be South African in other to be a South African citizen, don't you think the organisers of the Miss SA competition wouldn't have thrown Chidimma out of the competition long before she left of her own volition? Don't you think she would have been arrested by now for parading her self as a South African citizen? Do you even know that a person can get South African citizenship several ways such as being married to a South African, or holding South African residency for 5 years?
But you are the only person who knows that to be a citizen of South Africa, either of your parents must be South African? But all the South African media that carried this story did not know this citizenship law that you know?
Common sense is not common
Chidimma does not have citizenship. There is chance that chidimma mother could be arrested
Bizibi: honestly anybody defending that rubbish has a slave mentality.....how can one tell me white Europeans are south Africans. What color of stupidity is this??
I still don't understand what Nigerians are doing there,they don't like foreigners except their masters from Europe and they get easily provoked towards black Africans living there.
We will be Happy if Nigerians can leave South Africa. In South Africa there is white people and learn to accept that.
gidgiddy: It is just incredible that South Africans accepted that white South Africans, whose parents and grandparents are from Europe, are South African citizens
But Chidimma, whose parents are Africans, is not a South African citizen.
To be african does not mean you are south african.
gidgiddy: If what you are saying were true, all the white South Africans, including the white woman who won Miss South Africa, would not be South African citizens. Their parents or grandparents were all migrants from Europe
My friend you miss a point, her parents got south african citizenship. Learn to understand about legal documents
gidgiddy: She is not her parents. When you are born in a country and raised there, you get citizenship of that country after a certain age. In some countries such as America, you get citizenship straightaway
Every country has its own laws, i am not sure if Nigeria has laws
DaddyJapan: MK was the armed wing of the ANC, so what exactly is your point?
Reading through your comments on this thread, I wonder if you are really a South African as you proclaim or a fifth columnist who is determined to start a new cyber war.
It was not for nothing that Nigeria was symbolically referred to as the sixth frontline state. Slice or dice it however you want, there are antecedents written into the annals of history that only a wilfully obtuse upstart would ignore.
UpaIweka: What a foolish comment, you deserve no benefit except those granted by who is granting it. Personally as a Nigerian SA as tolerated Nigeria nuisance far too long.
Imagine some fools will open their foolish mouth to label black South Africans lazy ?! Just imagine that sort of provocation. Any foriegner as to be insane to say that to their host.
Ojiofor: Watch Mandela on a thank you visit to Nigeria after his release.No other African country contributed more than Nigeria did. Mandela wasn't an ingrate like this generation of South Africans.
Thank you for sharing the video, I will try to find out why Nigeria's assistance is not mentioned in south african struggle history. Maybe the assistance Nigeria provided was minor.
Ojiofor: You are a kid,go and ask ANC leadership how much Nigeria government assisted financially and diplomatically to free SA from apartheid slavery.
Maybe even the finance that was meant for anc did not reach anc, because Nigerian politicians are too corrupt. I am sure the money ended up in the pockets of some Nigerian politicians.
Ojiofor: She is a citizen and organizers of the show said was qualified it is you with local mentality that disqualified her with your emotions and sentiments.
Is not us, SA home affairs verified and they realised that her parents faked ID.
Miss SA only checks is you have ID, verification are done by home affairs dept.
Ojiofor: You are a kid,go and ask ANC leadership how much Nigeria government assisted financially and diplomatically to free SA from apartheid slavery.
On Anc books they never quoted any assistance from Nigeria, they quoted Tanzania, Zambia and Mozambique.
South Africa was liberated by MK soldiers, not anc.
Ojiofor: We invested a lot for your freedom so we got to have a bit of benefit for our investment.Don't be an ingrate.
Nigeria did not assist south africa during apartheid. South Africa was liberated by South Africans. Ladies who used to work as kichens girls to whites, poisoned their white boss. Man who used to work as garden boys killed their bosses. Cleaners in the white man offices planted booms. Cleaners in white schools planted booms.
People killed police officers in their homes and took guns. Whites people were afraid to gather anywhere.
Chris hani was the leader of the rebel group called MK, he told them that we need to be faceless because if we can confront whites face to face we won win.
Ojiofor: How is that your business? You rejected her and we accepted her unconditionally. We never asked Mandela for visa when he was hiding from apartheid regime before his arrest.
That's the main problem of Nigerians, lawlessness . In south africa we don't tolerant lawlessness.
Nigeria played no role to support south africa during apartheid, ok maybe by prayers.
South Africa was liberated by south african youth.
Ojiofor: It is about Chidimma who was born in SA and a citizen according to the constitution not about her parents.You have differents rules according to your bias.
Rules are straight forward, not all people that are born in South Africa are South Africans. Most of the ladies from many countries come to South Africa to give birth in the SA hospitals, are those kids south african, not at all my friend.
Nigerians must master law and order, if they want Nigeria to progress. I already saw lot of loop holes on Nigeria law, how can you allow a girl who does not have Nigerian ID to compete with Nigerians girls?.
