BREAKING: Chidimma Onwe Adetshina Joins Miss Universe Nigeria 2024 After Withdrawing from Miss South Africa Due to Trolling

Chidimma Adetshina, a former Miss South Africa 2024 finalist, has announced her participation in the upcoming Miss Universe Nigeria 2024 Beauty Pageant. This comes after she withdrew from the Miss South Africa competition following online attacks over her Nigerian heritage.

In a video that went viral on Wednesday, Chidimma expressed her excitement about being invited to the Nigerian beauty contest. She thanked her supporters and shared her decision to join the Miss Universe Nigeria pageant, marking a new chapter in her journey.

Born in Soweto, South Africa, to an Igbo Nigerian father and a Mozambican mother, Chidimma faced severe social media backlash despite meeting all the Miss South Africa competition requirements. Concerned for her and her family's safety, she chose to step down from the contest last Thursday.

The controversy surrounding Chidimma's withdrawal has sparked widespread discussions on social media about inclusion, diversity, and representation in beauty pageants. Nigerians have voiced their disappointment over the situation, leading to broader conversations on these important issues.
