PUBLISHED DEC 14, 2019

Miss World 2019 has come to an end with Jamaica's Toni-Ann Singh taking home the crown. However, among the celebration was another contestant who was making a place for herself in people's heart and it was Nigeria's Nyekachi Douglas. Douglas was in the top five and waiting for the winner of the event to be announced. 

Unlike other contestants, Douglas could not contain her excitement when Singh was announced the new Miss World. She overtly expressed her emotions as she quickly started to jump around with excitement. She then went on to hug Singh and looked so happy — it was almost as if she had won the title. 

Fans were quick to express their joy seeing Douglas being supportive of another woman. One fan wrote, "Nigerians women been showing the world now Nigerians are, I see tweets saying Miss Nigeria has a good heart and is amazing, also remember how Miss Nigeria was all smiley and happy when South Africa won #MissUniverse #MissWorld2019 Naijas are great people."

Some thought that everyone should have a friend like Douglas who gets excited after seeing another person succeed. "Ladies if your friends aren't as happy for your successes like Miss Nigeria, was for our Miss World....our Miss Jamaica @toniannsingh
@MissJAWorld Gurls you need to import some new friends!!!"

Another thought there is a lot we could learn from Douglas. "Celebrate your wins and losses and celebrate your competition is what MISS NIGERIA showed at the MISS WORLD 2019 @MissWorldLtd a definition of beauty with a good heart and winning spirit. Love like no other." Even though Douglas did not win the pageant, there is no doubt that she has already created a special place in the heart of every person who watched the show.
