Trevor and Chidimma's comparison ignites online debate
Many netizens engaged in a debate regarding the comparison of Trevor Noah and Vanessa Chidimma. See some of the comments below:
@Ayoksy commented:
"South Africans should be ashamed of themselves. Xenophobia is a disease."
@nompi2616 said:
"Chichi must go to Nigeria and compete for Miss Nigeria. Hope she wins the competition & meet South Africans at international competition e.g. Miss Universe. She’s a divorcee with a child and questionable citizenship, this is too much for South Africans to adjust to it overnight."
@Ayoksy responded:
"South Africans always attacking other nationals yet they are the most corrupt and fraudulent. My last visit there, they stole everything from me... my phone, luggage etc..."
@Aynana24 mentioned:
"They hate her because Nigeria is involved. If her father wasn't a Nigerian, this would have been fine with them."
@Krispowerpoint wrote:
"Trevor's mum is Xhosa, which is one of his biological parents. Trevor as a true son of the soil, knows more than 3 of the official languages of the Republic of South Africa. Seeing that you were comparing..... I Think South Africans are just infuriated by Nigerians in general!"
@_WiseySA said:
"He's mother is Xhosa unlike Chidinma."
