Chidimma Adetshina, a 23-year-old law student, has been named Miss Universe Nigeria, following a series of controversies that led her to withdraw from the Miss South Africa competition. Born in Soweto to a Nigerian father and a Mozambican mother, Adetshina faced criticism regarding her eligibility for Miss South Africa due to her mixed heritage.

The backlash prompted an investigation by South Africa's home affairs department. While no fault was found with Adetshina's actions, there were concerns about her mother's acquisition of South African citizenship. For her family's safety, Adetshina chose to withdraw from the Miss South Africa contest.

Her story garnered widespread attention, and the Miss Universe Nigeria organizers extended an invitation for her to compete. On Saturday in Lagos, Adetshina was crowned Miss Universe Nigeria and will represent the country at the Miss Universe competition in November.

Expressing her joy and gratitude, Adetshina remarked, "This crown is not just for beauty; it's a call for unity." Her triumph has been celebrated across social media, with many applauding her determination and strength.
