Mixed reactions have continued to trail the emergence of 18-yr-old hijab model, Shatu Garko as the winner of the 2021 Miss Nigeria Pageant.

Shatu Garko who represented the North-West region beat off competition from 18 other contestants to emerge as the 44th Miss Nigeria.

Garko who enjoys horse-riding is the first-ever hijab model and muslim to win the Miss Nigeria contest.

Following the emergence of Shatu Garko as Miss Nigeria, some Nigerians took to social media to air out their opinions.

These users hailed the hijab model, saying she deserved it, while commenting on her beauty.

@jenniferlami She’s absolutely stunning

@onismate Our Hijabi Queen.. Lovely and amazing. She has proved that culture and religion can’t stop your dreams. And I have come to realize that some northern Nigeria are beginning to open up into circularity. From joining to BBNaija to miss Nigeria. In the past we use to see igbos and yorubas representing northern states, but it’s beginning to change. This year’s miss Nigeria edition, I noticed that few of the ladies are Muslims and very comfortable. I love the diversity and acceptance and the way it’s going.

@danhausawa_dh Sarauniya Aisha Shatu Garko ?? from arewa wow!| We are so proud of her.

@thewavegoddess The girl is fine, I saw some people in other blogs making it about tribalism. Y’all should kindly open your heart too, she tried

@hypebabyyy_ I am so glad that she won. She validated decent dressing as being ‘more’ beautiful….I find her victory, refreshing for a change….naked girls everywhere is getting exhausting

@wendypeterschere She’s so fine, congrats to ber

These users questioned her emergence as Miss Nigeria, throwing up bribery and Islamization claims.
