The Miss Universe 2024 competition is fast approaching, and Nigeria’s Chidimma Adetshina is already making waves by securing the third spot on the prestigious pre-arrival hot picks list. Arriving in Mexico in October 2024, the 23-year-old beauty queen is gearing up to represent Nigeria on the global stage at the pageant set for November 16, 2024.
Chidimma’s journey to Miss Universe has not been without its challenges. Initially competing as Miss Taraba in the Miss Universe Nigeria pageant, she faced significant backlash when she withdrew from Miss South Africa. The decision came after critics raised concerns about her nationality, and the South African Home Office made fraud allegations that sparked widespread debate. Despite the controversies, Chidimma has stayed resilient, earning admiration from fans who are thrilled about her strong global ranking.
The pre-arrival list positions Chidimma as a serious contender, and Nigerians are hopeful she will bring home the crown, celebrating her determination and grace amid adversity.
