Caroline Danjuma Throws Weight Behind Miss Universe Nigeria, Chidimma Adetshina, Amidst Controversy, Praising Her Resilience and Declaring “She’s My Queen, Now and Always.”
“So much hate and witch hunting towards this young lady all because she wants to be a beauty Queen and live her dreams .. never seen a group of people so intentional about bringing a young female innocent girl down .
If her mum is found guilty, how is it her problem? The discrimination, the witch hunting, and the desire to bring her down no matter what. She left to represent Nigeria but it still won’t stop.
Here is my public vote and encouragement to you, Chidinma; I adore and respect you, and how you have carried yourself through these trying times of your life, I know as a young girl, all you want to do is to just live your princess dreams, and NO one has the right to stop you.
You have my vote now and always; to me, you are QUEEN NOW AND ALWAYS.
The devil will do everything to dim your light; you are enveloped with the grace of God and you WON TAKE YOUR CROWN.
@missuniverseng @missuniverse @missuniverseza ..let young girls be who they want to be, the sky is big enough for us all to shine”.
Remember that Chidimma Adetshina, representing Taraba State, outshone 25 contestants to win the coveted title of Miss Universe Nigeria, earning the right to represent Nigeria at the prestigious Miss Universe pageant in Mexico.
Chidimma Adetshina’s path to victory was marked by determination and poise, having overcome earlier controversy when she was compelled to withdraw from Miss Universe South Africa in July due to citizenship questions, despite being born to a Nigerian father and South African mother.
Following the controversy, Chidimma Adetshina received an invitation from Guy Murray-Bruce, National Director of Miss Universe Nigeria, to participate in the recently held MUN 2024, which ultimately led to her winning the coveted title.
In an attempt to sabotage Chidimma’s chances, South Africans launched a tactical voting campaign for Ufa Dania, representing Kwara State, casting 23,901 votes for her. However, Nigerians rallied behind Chidimma, ultimately securing her victory despite her trailing behind Dania in online votes (23,422).
Speaking to BBC News Pidgin, Chidimma Adetshina opened up about her tumultuous experience, revealing she felt deeply hurt and rejected by South Africans who questioned her belonging due to her name, despite spending 23 years of her life in the country.
