Nigerian-born Chidimma Adetshina, who recently withdrew from the Miss South Africa pageant amid controversy surrounding her eligibility, has received an invitation to compete in Miss Universe Nigeria 2024. The organizers of the Nigerian pageant extended the invitation to Adetshina as a show of support and solidarity following the challenging circumstances she faced in South Africa.
Adetshina, a naturalized South African, faced public scrutiny and criticism after the Department of Home Affairs raised concerns about potential fraud and identity theft involving her mother. Despite the controversy, Miss Universe Nigeria organizers saw Adetshina’s story as an opportunity to highlight the importance of inclusion and diversity in pageantry.
