"Our national treasure is coming back home!"

"To all the haters, eat your heart out! Whether you like it or not, Chidimma is your queen. I'm talking to you, South Africa."

"People have to learn a lot from this, that other organisation could not make it to the finish line after all the rejection to Chichi."

successpropertymanagers wrote:

"If she had contested as Miss South Africa, I'm sure she would have not come this far. If I were South African, I would put my tail between my legs and hide under the bed for a week."

Meanwhile, some South Africans trolled Nigerians by claiming Chichi as their own after her victory:

brianta_xx trolled:

"South African talent at its best!"

1001mpumie said:

"She is ours. She was born in South Africa. Come back home; your real home. We forgive your family."
