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.
