This is an improvement from the 4570 votes she had on Tuesday, 27 August.

Former Miss SA finalist, Chidimma Adetshina is still leading the Miss Universe Nigeria competition with 15 070 votes, followed by Miss Edo with 10 178 votes.

MISS KWARA: FIRST PLUS-SIZED MODEL
Miss Kwara recently revealed to France 24 that she’s the first plus-sized woman to take part in the Miss Universe Nigeria pageant.

The Nigerian beauty queen wants to represent girls who have always been sidelined, as a dark-skinned plus-size woman.

The 25-year-old adds that she also suffered online harassment because she’s a plus-sized model.

Ignoring the critics, Dania says she saw the beauty pageant as a means of “empowerment” for women to “show their talents, their beauty, their intellect and their professional life”.

South Africans revealed on X this week that they are rooting for her to win the Miss Universe Nigeria pageant.

@nelly_weideman said: “Since we are all about changing stereotypes! Miss Kwara for Miss Universe Nigeria! We made history with our first ever deaf Miss SA, let’s make history for Nigeria too. Let’s vote for Miss Kwara.”

@Patriotic_Tee, said: “Love it for her. It’s a pity the Miss World/Universe’s standard of beauty is skinny ladies. But as a chubby hun [girl] myself, I love this chikka’s [girl’s] confidence and the fact that she pushed through the barriers to get to this point.“
