Miss Universe Nigeria, Chidimma Adetshina, has addressed criticism that her win was a “pity victory.” In an interview on Arise News, Adetshina emphasized that she worked hard to earn her title, despite facing challenges and controversies. She mentioned spending 10 weeks in camp with other contestants and undergoing the same experiences as them.
Adetshina’s win came after she was forced to withdraw from the South African version of the pageant due to allegations of fraud and identity theft involving her mother. She subsequently joined the Miss Universe Nigeria pageant, which she won.
The beauty queen dismissed the notion that her win was solely due to sympathy, stating that she had faced similar challenges as the other contestants. Adetshina’s response aimed to set the record straight and showcase her dedication to her craft.
In recent news, Adetshina has been at the center of attention due to her journey in the pageant world. Her experiences in South Africa and subsequent win in Nigeria have sparked conversations about her resilience and determination. As she moves forward as Miss Universe Nigeria, Adetshina continues to address controversies and prove herself as a strong representative of the title.
