Former Miss South Africa 2024 finalist Chidimma Adetshina has officially joined the Miss Universe Nigeria 2024 beauty pageant as Miss Taraba.
TheNewsGuru.com (TNG) recalls that Organizers of Miss Universe Nigeria had invited Adetshina to participate in the 2024 edition after she withdrew from the Miss South Africa pageant over attacks on her Nigerian ancestry.
Chidimma, born to Nigerian and Mozambican parents, endured a series of severe xenophobic attacks from the South African public after she was named among the ten finalists in the Miss South Africa grand finale.
Reacting to Chidima’s withdrawal, Miss Universe Nigeria, in a statement signed by its national director Guy Murray-Bruce, said the invitation is an opportunity for the Nigerian to represent her father’s native land.
Chidimma would accept the offer and express excitement in participating in what she described as “Africa’s most prestigious” pageant.
“With great excitement, I have decided to participate in the Miss Universe Nigeria 2024 beauty pageant,” she said in social media post shared by Ben Murray-Bruce, the founder of Silverbird Group, the pageant organizers.
“Now, I understand the expectations and responsibilities that come with this title and I’m so excited to be back on this journey.
“I just want to say thank you so much for this opportunity and I’m looking forward to participating in Africa’s most prestigious beauty pageant, Miss Universe Nigeria.”
