Chidimma Vanessa Onwe Adetshina, a model of Nigerian and Mozambican descent, has announced her new pageant plans.
After withdrawing from the Miss South Africa 2024 contest due to nationality concerns, she has now declared her intention to compete in the Miss Universe Nigeria 2024 beauty pageant.
It should be noted that Adetshina was invited to participate in the Universe Nigeria 2024 beauty pageant after she stepped down from the Miss South Africa contest despite being a Top 11 Finalist.
She withdrew from the competition after the South African Department of Home Affairs said her mother had committed fraud and identity theft.
