Former Miss South Africa contestant, Chidimma Adetshina, has been crowned Miss Universe Nigeria 2024 after emerging as the winner over 24 other contestants.
Her journey to the title has been nothing short of remarkable, reflecting the resilience and grace reminiscent of the Miss Universe South Africa incident, where she was disqualified.
Africa Fact Zone revealed this in a video post on X on Saturday night.
“Chidimma Vanessa Adetshina has emerged as Miss Universe Nigeria 2024,” it posted.
According to Pop Pulse, she will be representing the country on the global stage in Mexico.
“Chidimma Adetshina has been crowned Miss Universe Nigeria 2024!” the post read. “She’ll be representing Nigeria at the Miss Universe grand finale in Mexico this November. Congratulations, Chidimma,” it added.
Meanwhile, Chidimma, in her acceptance speech, said that the victory is for all.
“This crown is not just for beauty; it’s a call for unity,” the winner stated.
Miss South Africa Beauty Pageant 2024 saga
GWG.ng recalls that Adetshina withdrew from the Miss South Africa 2024 pageant after advancing to the final stage, citing concerns from some South Africans about her nationality, as they questioned her connection to the country.
Her withdrawal stemmed from the information published on the organisation’s website that she was born in South Africa to a Nigerian father and a Mozambique mother.
The organisers also affirmed that she was a naturalised South African.
Citing the incessant attacks against her person and threats to her family after her withdrawal, the National Director of Miss Universe Nigeria, Guy Murray-Bruce, invited her to compete in the just concluded MUN 2024.
Last week, she made her intention known about her desire to win and also get to know the Nigerian culture more.
She said, “It’s been 20 years since I’ve been here, so I just wanna get to know more about Nigeria’s culture and where I really come from.”
The law student further reiterated her interest in winning the Miss Universe Nigeria pageantry.
“My goal is to obviously win the crown for Miss Universe Nigeria,” Adetshina had stated.
