Chidinma Adetshina Return To Nigeria For Miss Universe Nigeria Pageant

 

After she was forced to withdraw from the Miss South Africa competition due to a nationality dispute and xenophobic attacks, Chidimma Adetshina has returned to Nigeria, her father’s homeland to compete in the Miss Universe Nigeria pageant.

Miss Adetshina landed on Thursday after a 20-year absence from home.

The former Miss South Africa finalist expressed her excitement to reconnect with her roots and immerse herself in Nigerian culture.

According to her, she is determined to win the crown and utilise her platform to promote unity and celebrate diversity.

She will represent Taraba State as Contestant Number 25 in the Miss Universe Nigeria pageant, with the grand finale scheduled for August 31, 2024, at the Eko Convention Centre in Victoria Island, Lagos.

She said: “I’m just thrilled to be back in my father’s land after 20 years,” Chidimma shared with the press.
