Saturday, August 17, 2024 -Embattled Miss South African contestant Chidimma Adetshina has joined the Miss Universe Nigeria competition as the representative of Taraba State.
Chidimma was born in Soweto at Chris Hani
Baragwanath Hospital in 2001. Her father is of Igbo descent, while her mother
is reported to be a Mozambican who has become a naturalised citizen of South
Africa.
Her participation in Miss South Africa had
generated controversy following some questions about her nationality.
Following the controversy that prompted an
investigation by the South African Ministry of Home Affairs, Chidimma decided
to withdraw from the contest. And accepted an invitation to participate in the
2024 Miss Universe Nigeria pageant.
Introducing her on Friday on its official
site, the organisers of the Miss Universe Nigeria pageant announced that
Chidimma will be competing as Miss Taraba as contestant number 25.
“Introducing CHIDIMMA ADETSHINA
(@chichi_vanessa ) as MISS TARABA STATE,” the organisers wrote.
