Born and raised in South Africa to a Nigerian father and a Mozambican mother, Chidimma was a contender in the recently concluded Miss SA competition until her withdrawal following weeks of turmoil over her nationality.
The 23-year-old accepted the invitation from the organisers to join the Miss Universe Nigeria competition after her withdrawal and went on to win the crown on Saturday night.

“This crown is not just for beauty; it’s a call for unity,” she said.
Adetshina will receive N10 million in cash along with other prizes as well as representing Nigeria at the Miss Universe pageant in Mexico this November.
