Miss Petite Nigeria Pageant is one of the beauty contests all over the world that considers a particular height as a qualification to participate in a pageantry.
Contestants must have the height of least 5ft7. This criterion no doubt is a social injustice to others who may like to take part in the competition but are not up to the required height.
