Miss Nigeria 2019 Nyekachi Douglas has said that she was genuinely happy for Toni-Ann Singh who won the Miss World 2019 competition on Saturday.
“I’m sure people thought I thought I won, but I was just so happy for her. She was amazing. A lot of times in these competitions, there are a lot of times you’re like ‘oh my God, this is really too much for me. There was a time I wondered what’s my purpose? She’s the one who would be like ‘listen, you got this,’” Douglas said.
