Talk about a complete turn of events! Chidinma Adetshina, a name that has been a highlight in the pageant world, is now creating waves across countries.
South Africans are buzzing with excitement as they now throw their weight behind Chidinma, but Nigerians? Not so much. What could possibly be the reason behind this intriguing cross-border support?

Chidinma, known for her dazzling looks and incredible poise, was born in South Africa but has Nigerian roots, evident from her name. Just a week ago, she voluntarily withdrew from the Miss South Africa pageant, after some vocal South Africans demanded her exit, stating that her Nigerian heritage made her ineligible.
And now, she’s set to represent Nigeria in the Miss Universe competition. The announcement set Twitter on fire, especially in both South Africa and Nigeria.
Twitter has become the battleground for mixed reactions. South Africans, who once opposed her participation in Miss SA, are now jubilant and supportive of her decision to join Miss Universe as Nigeria’s representative.
Some tweets praise her resilience, calling her a “true queen” who can’t be tethered by borders. On the flip side, many Nigerians aren’t as thrilled, questioning why she chose to represent Nigeria instead of fully embracing her South African upbringing.
