While the Most Beautiful Girl in Nigeria pageant was on yesterday night, some contestants began to – well – stand out.

Miss Benue (Aghedo Oses), who Twitter-trended in Nigeria, had the dubious honour of catching the public’s attention. Forgive the pun, but the reactions weren’t pretty. See the top 10 –

@MR_moon_walker: TEXT “SHREK” to 3368 for miss BENUE

@Lavainem: Fashola shud remember to add Miss Benue’s face to the list of streets he needs to repair

@KALVIN_ACE: THE FACE OF MISS BENUE IS LIKE THE SITUATION OF

But then comes this one:

@MaiAtafoInspire: Most people laughed at Miss Benue but right now I can see her on my runway. And I will put my money where my mouth is. Watch out!!

We agree with the last tweet, from designer and fashion editor Mai Atafo – there’s something very simple… pure about the way she’s beautiful. We hope she rocks the runways!
