Chidinma Adetshina Crowned Miss Universe Nigeria 2024 (VIDEO)
In a stunning turn of events, Chidinma Adetshina, a beauty queen who recently made headlines during the Miss South Africa 2024 pageant, has been crowned Miss Universe Nigeria 2024.
Chidinma, who reached the top 9 in the Miss South Africa competition last month, was forced to withdraw after facing significant backlash from some South Africans due to her mixed heritage—her father is Nigerian, and her mother is Mozambican.
The controversy surrounding her withdrawal sparked widespread discussion, drawing attention to issues of identity and inclusivity in pageantry. In the wake of the outcry, Chidinma was invited to Lagos by the organizers of Miss Universe Nigeria to participate in their pageant. Her journey culminated in a triumphant win, as she was crowned the new Miss Universe Nigeria.
