Miss Universe Nigeria Chidimma Adetshina gives up on pageantry after finishing at Miss Universe 2024 as the first runner-up.
In a recent interview upon returning to her country, the beauty queen explained that she’s quitting pageantry to focus on personal growth and career advancement.
In an interview with BBC Pidgin, Adetshina said: “I want to put pageantry aside for now and focus more on my education and establishing who Chidimma is. I want to delve more into runway modeling and acting and explore many other areas. There are so many things I would like to try and see where my potential can take me.”
Chidinma Adetshina who is also known to be a former Miss South Africa finalist who withdrew to join the Nigerian pageantry revealed that when the dust had settled and things have been sorted, she will share her story about the accusations that made her leave South Africa.
She explained: “People are interested in the story. And like I said, I haven’t gone home yet, I haven’t heard anything, and I haven’t sat down with a lawyer or anything. So I can’t just talk about things. Once I get everything sorted out, I will open up and give people clarity on the matter.”
