South African model, Chidimma Adetshina, has accepted an invitation from Miss Universe Nigeria organizers to participate in the 2024 beauty pageant.
Miss Chidimma Adetshina withdrew from the South African beauty pageant following xenophobic attacks from some South Africans.
Chidimma accepted the offer extended to her at the peak of the xenophobic attack from South African fans on Wednesday, which Silverbird TV founder, Ben Bruce posted on his X handle.
She thanked Nigerians for their support at the trying time. She added that the opportunity given to her by Miss Nigeria organizers is a great one.
She said, “Hello everyone, my name is Chidimma Vanessa Onwe Adetshina, and I cannot think of this video without expressing my gratitude to the incredible people who have shown me so much love and so much support.
“Now I have received an invitation from the Silver Bird Group, who are the organizers of the Miss Universe Nigeria Beauty Pageant. And I say this is a great excitement because I have decided to participate in the Miss Universe Nigeria 2024 All Beauty Pageant.
“Now I understand the expectations and responsibilities that come with this title, and I am so excited to walk on this journey. And I just want to say thank you so much for this opportunity, and I am looking forward to participating in Africa’s most prestigious beauty pageant, Miss Universe Nigeria.”
