Netizens question Chidimma Adetshina’s publicity surge ahead of miss universe Nigeria 2024

As former Miss South Africa finalist Chidimma Adetshina arrived in Lagos for the Miss Universe Nigeria 2024 pageant, netizens are buzzing with curiosity and skepticism.

“Why is she getting more publicity than other delegates?” many ask.

Adetshina, representing Taraba state, withdrew from Miss South Africa due to a nationality dispute and is now contesting in Nigeria, her country of origin, for the first time.

Some netizens argue that her South African connection and previous pageant experience give her an unfair advantage.

Others praise her courage in pursuing her dreams despite challenges.

“Let’s give her a chance,” says one supporter. “She’s never been to Nigeria before, and this is a fresh start.”

As Adetshina prepares for the pageant on August 31, Nigerians weigh in on social media:

“Is she getting special treatment because of her Miss SA background?”

“Other delegates deserve equal attention!”

“Welcome home, Chidimma! Show us what you’ve got!”

Netizens Reactions…

ifiok_willie: “Quick question, why is she getting more publicity than other delegates?”

musawuroyalbeauty: “Well we can’t blame her if she didn’t visit her father’s land for 20 years. First, it’s the parents’ responsibilities to educate their children about their cultures and their roots. If her dad doesn’t take her to Nigeria often, how do you expect her to know? Stop finding fault in her. I’m also mix with 4 different African countries but American ..”

man_like_ojk: “20 years ago and you are Back represent us.” nomusapeace: “Lol nothing about her is Nigerian, even the accent, ehhh!!”

cyliamotsoeneng: “I love how Nigerians are now angry when she comes to them. Haibo I thought we were Afrophobic on.”

tifethee.artist: “She’s getting special treatment.”

lulu_ukuma: “Queen Chi, first learn pidgin.”

oquesili_nnanna: “20years you have not been in Nigeria. Now you want to learn the culture of where you come from and also want to be MUN. Representing a country you don’t have knowledge of its heritage.”

The debate rages on as Adetshina focuses on her journey, eager to explore Nigeria and make a mark in the pageant.
