Anger, Rage As Google Lists Agbani Darego As Ugliest Miss World Ever
Nigerians on social media have expressed outrage over the listing of former beauty queen, Agbani Darego, as the ugliest Miss World’ winner in Google ranking.
To the shock of many, Nigerians discovered yesterday that their most successful beauty queen is considered the ugliest among other winners of the world’s highest pageant according to Google.
A search of, ‘Who is the ugliest Miss World’ on Google, will have the pictural image of Agbani Darego displayed with the following answers, “Chief Agbani Darego, MFR (born Agbani Darego, 22 December 1982) is a Nigerian model and beauty queen who was crowned Miss World in 2001. She was the first indigenous African to win Miss World”
And many Nigerians have taken to social media to express their displeasure to the development. Here are some of their reasons:
@Rankyakab, “This whole Agbani Darego being the ugliest miss world on Google ranking is not just ‘b*llshit’ but shows we haven’t appreciated her enough. A slander to her is a slander to the esteem of every beautiful black woman.
Agbani Darego remains my most beautiful miss world ever.”
@QueenMoye, “Whoever that listed Agbani Darego as the ‘Ugliest Miss World’ is not just very stupid, but a mad person. Such a person should have an anchor tied to both his/her legs and dropped in the Atlantic ocean.
@Igbowolfman, “Why does Agbani Darego show up when you google ‘who is the ugliest Miss World?’”
@Irunnia, “Meet Nigerian born Agbani Darego, the first African to win the Miss World beauty pageant. The one Google calls the ugliest miss world ever.”
@Tinarela, “I wonder how someone in their right mind will call Agbani Darego ugly.”
@AhambaEbuka, “Google names Agbani Darego the ugliest miss world ever… I want to ask them if it’s the one from Nigeria or is there another one?
These guys can be stylishly racist at times… How did she win it in the first place if she’s ugly?
@Benrachaelson, “Google may say Agbani Darego is the ugliest but we all know she is the most intelligent of all the beauty queens.”
@Yeancah_Jimoh, “Seems Google wants to be unfortunate for saying Agbani Darego is the ugliest miss world.”
@LuloAkinteye, “I can’t even find a place to agree to that racial ranking of Agbani Darego as the ugliest miss world because all along that’s the person I always mention when I want to relate any woman to beautiful. I don’t care what Google says, Agbani Darego is a damsel who deserved her crown.

EFCC Has Most Corrupt, Wicked People in Nigeria, Bobrisky Lashes Out at Anti-graft Agency
Nigerian controversial cross-dresser, Idris Okuneye aka Bobrisky, has taken to his social media account to lash out at officials of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
The self-exiled transvestite, while reacting to EFCC’s plea to be kind and show sympathy for an official who was shot during a raid in Anambra State, alleged that the anti-graft agency has the most corrupt and wicked people in Nigeria.
Bobrisky, who criticised the EFCC for its hypocrisy, said he does not like reading about the anti-graft agency and feels like throwing up each time he does.
“I just don’t like reading anything about EFCC online, cus I feel like I want to throw up each time I read about them.
“You are asking the public to be human about the loss of one of your staff but you are the most wicked people in Nigeria,” Bob wrote on his official Instagram page.
He also recalled how his home was ransacked and he was manhandled by officials of the EFCC when he was accused of money laundering and naira mutilation.
“When I was in your custody, you took me to my house and searched my house.
‘‘When I asked you guys why, you claimed I’m into money laundering, you want to check if I’m not printing money in my house, Police are better than you all one million times…” Bobriksy added.
