Nigerias-Olutosin-Araromi — Nigeria's Olutosin Araromi

Miss Universe 2019 is the 68th edition of the Miss Universe competition which was held on December 8, 2019 at Tyler Perry Studios in Atlanta, Georgia, the United States.

Zozibini Tunzi from South Africa at the end of the event was crowned the winner, defeating among others, Miss Nigeria (Olutosin Araromi) who the audience believed showed positive energy.

Although she lost the contest to her South African counterpart, Araromi was celebrated for showing love to the winner despite the hostilities between Nigeria and South Africa due to recent xenophobic attacks in that country.

According to reactions from fans “Miss Nigeria might have not won miss universe, but she won many ppl’s heart with her love for Zozi, her fellow African”.

“Miss Nigeria is a good example of women supporting other women. I looooooove her”.

“Women hate each other” Yet a woman has single handedly brought joy & love to the hearts of 2 countries that have been at war with each simply by showing her immerse support & genuine happiness for her African sister”.

“When u are genuinely happy for other ppl’s success, success will surely come to u… miss Nigeria might have not won MU, but she won many ppl’s heart with her love for Zozi her fellow African”.

Below are twitter reactions

Miss Nigeria hyping Miss South Africa as winner of Miss universe, is how your friends should be happy for you when you win. Miss Nigeria positive energy is what we all need to have towards each other as friends and neighbours.

You can't have fake people calling themselves celebrities in a country like Ghana and expect not to be affected by the @NigeriaGov border closure ????
I'm very sure @iamcardib will miss Nigeria for the good mad fun she had.#CardiBInAccra

If your friend wins you win cos t's a win-win situation for all. Miss Nigeria didn't win but she has been receiving tons of praises for genuinely being happy for her friend, Miss South Africa who won the Miss Universe.Having each other's back is the goal. #MissNigeria is a + vibe
