“This is Ridiculous”: Nigerians React to Chidimma Adetshina Joining Miss Universe Nigeria**
Chidimma Adetshina is making headlines once again, but this time for joining the Miss Universe Nigeria pageant. The announcement follows her recent withdrawal from the Miss South Africa (Miss SA) competition amidst significant controversy. The 23-year-old model’s entry into the Nigerian pageant has sparked a wave of criticism among Nigerians, who are questioning the fairness of her inclusion.
Controversy Surrounding Chidimma Adetshina
Adetshina, who has lived most of her life in South Africa, has faced backlash for joining the Miss Universe Nigeria pageant. Critics argue that her lack of connection to Nigeria and previous controversies make her participation unjust. Many believe her inclusion undermines the efforts of other contestants who have been preparing diligently for the competition.
Nigerian Reactions
The reactions on social media highlight the dissatisfaction with Adetshina’s entry:
– @adex_smithjr commented: “This lady has never been to Nigeria before; she has never stepped foot in Nigeria until now. She lived all her life in South Africa, but you include her in Nigeria’s Miss Universe despite knowing her questionable character. This is ridiculous.”
– @Oyinstoryteller said: “What about the other contestants who have been working so hard for this pageant?”
– @de_generalnoni added: “This is a wrong move, Mr. Ben! The lady in question committed fraud. We should not encourage wrongdoing. Don’t make us look like a joke on the global stage!”
– @mackee_F wrote: “I hope they won’t give her sympathy votes and the win as compensation.”
**Miss SA Mia Le Roux’s Response**
Miss South Africa, Mia Le Roux, has spoken out in defense of Chidimma Adetshina, criticizing the backlash against her. Le Roux expressed her belief that the situation was unfair to Adetshina, who faced scrutiny due to her Nigerian heritage.
