Chidimma Adetshina Is Crowned Miss Universe Nigeria 2024

Chidimma Adetshina, a beauty pageant contestant who faced a wave of hostility in South Africa after questions arose about her eligibility, has been crowned Miss Universe Nigeria.

The grand finale was held at the Eko Convention Centre, Lagos. There, 25 contestants from various Nigerian states, advocated for social causes such as women’s empowerment, mental health, and environmental sustainability. Eventually, Adetshina, who represented Taraba state, was crowned winner.

Adetshina is expected to represent Nigeria at the Miss Universe pageant in Mexico this November. She will also be receiving a 10 million naira cash prize, as well as other prizes.

A month ago, Adetshina withdrew from the Miss Universe SA pageant and accepted the offer from Nigeria to join their pageant instead.
