So, it seems Chidinma Adetshina is officially kissing South Africa goodbye. Born and raised in the rainbow nation for over two decades, Chidinma recently revealed that she’s bidding Mzansi farewell for a fresh start in Nigeria.
And who can blame her? After all, she’s got her eyes on the Miss Universe Nigeria crown! Here’s the lowdown: Chidinma had initially tried her luck with the Miss South Africa pageant. But in a twist that could rival any soapie, her entry was rejected because her dad’s Nigerian.
Talk about drama! Not one to be defeated, mogirl decided to pivot and enter the Miss Universe Nigeria contest instead. And let’s just say, it’s paying off. With over 15,000 votes from both South Africans and Nigerians, Chidinma’s turning heads and winning hearts.
In a recent heart-to-heart on a Nigerian radio show, Chidinma made it clear she’s closed the South African chapter of her life. At just 23, she’s decided to wave goodbye to the country she’s known as home for years.
The reason? She’s done with a system that didn’t embrace her as one of their own. As enlightened as it sounds, it doesn’t come without its share of controversies. Reports reveal there’s an ongoing investigation into her mom’s potential identity theft, adding another layer of mystery to the saga.
