Chidimma Adetshina victorious at Miss World beauty pageant in Nigeria.

Chidimma Adetshina, South African beauty queen emerges the winner of the Miss Universe beauty pageant which held in Nigeria after being forced to drop out of the Miss South Africa Beauty contest.

She faced so many harsh criticisms and hate from South Africans over her Nigerian ethnicity and also claims of her mother being involved in identity theft even though she was born in Soweto and grew up in Cape Town.

The organisers of Miss Universe Nigeria invited her to participate in their contest after hearing her story . They said she would have the opportunity of representing her father’s native land on the international stage.

After winning the contest on Saturday, Miss Chidimma Adetshina will represent Nigeria at November’s Miss Universe competition.

There was alot of mixed reaction on social media with some people of the opinion that she was undeserving of the win as she hasn’t stepped foot on Nigerian soil in over 20 years and with others elated over the win after the harrassment she faced in south Africa.

Your story is inspirational – you are stronger than you think and we love you our African sister,” one South African woman wrote on Instagram.

Another supporter said: “Trust me guys we Nigerians are proud of her… she’s our very own sister, a very smart, intelligent girl, our Nigerian blood runs through her veins.”

“She’s undeserving,” one Instagram user said.

“She has never lived in Nigeria and was merely invited to compete after the final delegates had been chosen… she arrived in Nigeria for the first time after 20 years last week, only to be given our crown. This organisation reeks of sheer bias.”

Another wrote: “In all honesty you won out of pity… feeling very sorry for the other contestants who were there long before you came.”

We wish Miss Chidimma Adetshina all the best in the forthcoming Miss Universe contest in November, her rivals will include Mia le Roux, who won this year’s Miss South Africa competition after she dropped out.
