This is a wise decision.
ReplyDeleteThis is a wise decision.
ReplyDeleteNo sound reason has been given for the decission. It smarks of injustice and typifies the Nigerian method of doing things haphazardly. Corruption does not begin and end with money, it includes not doing things in the proper manner!
ReplyDeleteHey fellow readers! Please can anyone tell why this decision was taken? Thanks!

ReplyDeleteWhy did they nominate her as winner when she is old?They would have considered this factor.Naija,always get things wrong.Now,they are using wrong to correct wrong!
ReplyDeleteshe is old? Is there no required age range for dis same contest? Which i suppose must be to the international required age range, if not, why shortlisting such fellow for d pageant in d first placw? My people, something is wrong somewhere.....
