The recent arrival of former Miss South Africa finalist, Chidimma Adetshina, in Lagos has sparked a wave of online reactions, with some netizens questioning why she appears to be receiving more publicity than other delegates competing in the Miss Universe Nigeria 2024 pageant.
Adetshina, a 23-year-old model who previously withdrew from the Miss South Africa pageant due to a nationality dispute, touched down in Lagos on Wednesday, August 21. Her return to Nigeria marks her first visit to the country in two decades. Since her arrival from Cape Town, Adetshina has been met with a warm and enthusiastic reception, generating significant media attention.
Representing Taraba State in the upcoming Miss Universe Nigeria competition, Adetshina has expressed her excitement about reconnecting with her roots and exploring the country after such a long absence. In addition to her modeling career, she is also a law student and plans to continue her education following the pageant.
However, the heightened media coverage surrounding Adetshinaās return and participation in the pageant has not gone unnoticed by the public. Many online users have voiced concerns over what they perceive as an imbalance in the spotlight being cast on her compared to other contestants. One netizen questioned, “Why is she getting more publicity than other delegates? This competition should be about equal opportunity for all the contestants.”
Critics argue that the attention given to Adetshina may overshadow the efforts and stories of the other delegates, many of whom have also overcome significant challenges to compete for the title. Supporters of the other contestants are calling for more equitable media coverage to ensure that all participants receive the recognition they deserve.

ifiok_willie: āQuick question, why is she getting more publicity than other delegates?ā
musawuroyalbeauty: āWell we canāt blame her if she didnāt visit her fatherās land for 20 years. First, itās the parentsā responsibilities to educate their children about their cultures and their roots. If her dad doesnāt take her to Nigeria often, how do you expect her to know? Stop finding fault in her. Iām also mix with 4 different African countries but American šŗšø..ā

As the Miss Universe Nigeria 2024 pageant draws closer, it remains to be seen how the dynamics of publicity will play out and whether the organizers will address the concerns raised by the public.
The pageant is set to take place on August 31, and with the spotlight on all the delegates, the competition promises to be a closely watched event.
