by Chinazor Ikedimma on Nov 26, 2024

Chidimma Adetshina, a 23-year-old model and entrepreneur, is unquestionably one of the most popular competitors for 2024 Miss Universe. Chidimma was born in Soweto to a Nigerian father, and a Mozambican mother. She began her pursuit for the Miss Universe crown in South Africa, but worries about her dual citizenship in South Africa and Nigeria prompted the South African Department of Home Affairs to investigate her past. The probe purportedly turned up early information indicating potential problems with her mother's acquisition of South African citizenship. In the end, Miss Chidimma left the competition due to xenophobic remarks and cyberbullying from South Africans. She returned to Nigeria immediately and competed in the Miss Universe Nigeria pageant representing Taraba State. Miss Chidimma became the representative of Nigeria for Miss Universe after winning the title of Miss Universe Nigeria on August 31, 2024. After this win, a South African group called Progressive Forces launched a petition against Chidimma Adetshina from competing in the Miss Universe 2024 because her mother was found guilty of committing identity fraud.

On November 16, 2024, in the Arena CDMX in Mexico City, Chidimma Adetshina successfully competed as a representative of Nigeria in Miss Universe 2024. Adetshina finished first runner-up out of 126 competitors. The competition was won by Victoria Kjaer Theilvig of Denmark, and the second runner-up was María Fernanda Beltrán of Mexico. As the first Nigerian to win the title of Miss Universe Africa and Oceania, she made history.She also accomplished the incredible feat of being the first Nigerian to finish as the Miss Universe pageant's first runner-up.

The enduring problem of xenophobia in South Africa is brought to light by Chidimma's experience. EHer perseverance and determination in the face of hardship have inspired many. She has utilized her platform to fight for African unity, tolerance, and understanding. Beyond her pageant glory, Chidimma is a strong supporter of education and women's empowerment. She is also an entrepreneur, having established her own fashion line. She has become a role model for young women throughout Africa and the world, encouraging them to pursue their dreams and never give up.
