• Chidimma Adetshina receives strong support from South Africans as she joins the Miss Universe Nigeria contest.
• She previously competed in Miss South Africa 2024 but faced criticism due to her Nigerian origin.
• After withdrawing from the South African pageant, she was invited to represent Miss Taraba in Miss Universe Nigeria contest.
• Her participation sparked support from South Africans.

Chidimma Adetshina, a model of South African and Nigerian descent, has gained waves of support from South Africans as she officially enters the Miss Universe Nigeria contest.

This development comes after her recent participation in the Miss South Africa 2024 competition, where she faced criticism due to her Nigerian origin.

Adetshina, who was born and raised in South Africa, made headlines earlier this year when she competed in Miss South Africa 2024.

Despite her strong performance, she faced backlash from some South Africans who questioned her eligibility based on her Nigerian ancestry.

The controversy, however, has not deterred her determination to continue her journey in pageantry.

Following her decision to step back from the Miss South Africa 2024 competition, Adetshina was offered the opportunity to represent Miss Taraba in the Miss Universe Nigeria contest.

Since making the switch, she has seen an outpouring of support from South Africans, many of whom now rally behind her as she competes on a different stage.

The model’s participation in Miss Universe Nigeria has been met with enthusiasm, with many South Africans expressing pride in her for embracing both her Nigerian and South African roots.
