African born Sephora Iklaba, 19 who
entered a pageant race to become the most beautiful Girl in Finland emerged the winner and was crowned
Miss. Helsinki on Friday, thanking friends, family and followers for their
support in the competition.
The beauty queen who is originally
born to Nigerian parents from the South Western part of the country soon saw
things fall apart when a bunch of furious Finns disagreed with her win.
Fans of the competition felt that
Sephora should not have been able to enter as she was not born in Finland while
others felt she was not beautiful enough.
Hundreds, who felt she lack the good
looks to win, took to social media to voice their opinions.
One Facebook user wrote: “Political
correctness won. She”s damn ugly and not even from Finland.”
Another commented: “This is
disgraceful and biased.”
And a third added: “It”s not that
she”s black, it”s that she”s the least beautiful of all the entrants.”
But many others wrote racist
comments too foul and shocking to republish.
However she hit back yesterday with
an Instagram picture saying: “Be humble but still let these motherf*****s know
you worked for what you got!”
She added that the main reason
behind her entering was “to be a good role model for young people and to
represent those who are really unsure of themselves and are going through
difficult issues”.
