Otohwo, who had represented Nigeria at Miss Universe 2009, posed for photographs wearing a bikini at the beach which enraged the Miss Nigeria organisers who had promoted their swimsuit-free pageant as a wholesome institution, and pointed out that the competition was dormant from 2004 to 2010, therefore making it impossible for the organisers to have crowned a Queen in 2009.
The runner up of the 2008 pageant, Belgica Suarez, represented Honduras at Miss Universe 2009.
After her victory, she was named Russia's representative in the Miss Universe 2009 contest, which was to be held in the Bahamas in August, 2009.
