Chidimma Adetshina makes Nigeria proud and wins Miss Universe 2024 First Runner Up

November 17, 2024 by AFRIPOL Leave a Comment

“I’m so proud of myself and I just made history” – Miss Chidimma Adetshina

The beauty queen, Chidimma Adetshina of Nigeria has finally emerged as First Runner-Up in the Miss Universe contest.

“Adetshina originally competed in the Miss South Africa contest, as she was born and grew up in the country, however she was subjected to trolling and xenophobic abuse because her father is Nigerian. Last month, the South African authorities said they would strip her of her identity papers, following allegations that her mother, who has Mozambican roots, had committed identity fraud to gain South African nationality.

Neither Adetshina nor her mother have commented on the allegations. South African authorities pointed out that Adetshina could not have participated in any alleged fraud as she was an infant at the time. After the furore in South Africa, and the doubts about her nationality, she competed in the Miss Nigeria competition, which she won to qualify for the Miss Universe contest held in Mexico City. The eventual winner of Miss South Africa, Mia le Roux, pulled out of Miss Universe last week citing an undisclosed medical condition. She was the first deaf woman to become Miss South Africa.”
