South Africa!!!!! Bunch of winners!! Well done and congratulations Rolene hun! We’ve come a long way!! Viva South Aftica viva!!!!!!!!!
Viva South Africa viva!!!
fine girl#betterpikin
God pls don’t allow corruption to kill Nigeria…we are no where to be found., not in talent,culture e.t.c because she got nofin!28yrs old girls,claims that she is 19yrs old n she got proof.its is well with 9ja!!!
when bella posted the african constentants, I commented and knew south africa would go far.She is very pretty
Yaaayyy….she’s so pretty!
Our Ihouma didn’t make the 25 quarter finalists?????? Diaris……
Yaaaaaaaassss!! see me screaming as if I’m from SA. Rolene’s speech was the best. Loool Miss Hungary’s speech cracked me up. ” I thought I was not normal”. Miss Kenya and Miss South Sudan are serious beauties, I was tipping one esp Miss Kenya to be among the top 5 guess Miss America took their spot. Miss India is fine oo infact they all tried. Iheoma, nah only you walk go oh??!!
am happy the crown came back to Africa again. but would love for the MBGN organizers to take a cue from the fact that the pageant is no longer about beauty alone but making a difference, cos it was very obvious that those that made it to the top 25 spot, were those that made their beauty with a purpose project personal and not just something on the surface, where all you do is wear crowns on heels to pose with few kids that dont need help, when there a lot of suffering children in the ghetto
The right girl won. Congrats Miss South Arfrican. Miss Nigeria, I would have loved to see you participate in some activities na. Am nt happy with my self for nt buying tickets to go n watch it live at the excel center hahahahaha
so lovely. congratulations
SOUTH AFRICA…..Roleen so proud of our home girls……
Well deserved…
big win and great positive news for us South Africans. A win for Africa in a bigger picture. Congrats Rolene!!
Heheheeeeeeee, our own MBGN was no where to be found, she only knows how to take a selfie, hmmmmmmm dis is sad
How she wan take reach top 25 when na padi-padi b everythin 4 naija
Congratulations to our African sister. Megan Young though……………
Aww, the geeky Kenyan made it into the top ten.
Aishwarya is over-amazing.
Congrats to SA.
Well first of all, Nigerians think being YELLOW is what beauty is…there is something called bone structure, poise, intelligence, and charisma, which is lacking in the types of girls naija keeps presenting year after year. I am not sure the guys organizing or picking these naija chicks have enough exposure to understand the calibre of ppl that shld represent us internationally atleast to make top 10.
It is NOT being YELLOW that makes the grade, especially if u r presenting an African girl…look at women like Naomi Campbell, Agbani Darego, Nike Oshinowo, Helen Prest…Iman…those are the african beauties/bone structures that make the grade if we are gonna do well at international paegents. Stop using these bush local champion chicks
They need to change the organisers like Eloho (think she already left) and the rest. They need people who can select girls that are not only fine, not only yellow, but intelligent girls and girls who meet the required prerequisite. Not any organiser that’ll be picking any and any girl. The girls they pick, all they know how to do is post bikini selfies on instagram and attend all the events in Nigeria.
Congratulations Miss South Africa, well deserved!
@ Mayowa, Elohor was creative director for Miss Nigeria not MBGN, these are two independent entities, the latter produces the candidate for Miss world….
AFRICA ruuuuulessss! Thank you Rolene for ruling and………… Congratulations to myself as an African woman.
Congrats Miss SA!
Nigeria isn’t the only country that won nothing. You guys should chill pls
You also need to chill. Of course they’re not angry about Miss. Nigeria not winning, did we expect her to? Certainly not. We’re only saying we need better reps. You need to relax and don’t misinterprete what they’ve said above.
Speak for youself madam. If you need “better reps” take yourself to audition next year. Nigerians proper enemies of their own.
congratulation miss south Africa and miss Kenya
Wow, dats a big one gurl, so hapi for her, congrats..
