On the 9th of December, Zozibini Tunzi of South Africa won the Miss Universe 2019 title. She became the third South African woman and the first black woman with natural hair to win the Miss Universe title. However, Miss Nigeria's reaction to Zozibini Tunzi's win was also a surprise.
Miss Nigeria's reaction to Zozibini Tunzi's Win
After Zozibini's win, there was a heartwarming moment on stage involving Miss Nigeria that caught people's attention. For some, it was friendship goals, for others it was a black girl magic moment; but it was also a moment of joy from one roommate to another. Miss Nigeria, Olutosin Itohan Araromi and the newly-crowned Miss Universe were roommates throughout the duration of the event.
Tunzi posted a video on her Instagram page the first time they met, stating that her roommate had arrived and she had officially become her photographer and videographer.
At a time when relations between South Africa and Nigeria are still tense due to the xenophobic attacks, the show of love is a good message to send across to both countries.
