Former Miss South Africa contestant, Chidinma Adetshina, 23, has declared her interest in finding out more of her Nigerian descent.
Adetshina disclosed this in an interview with News Live SA posted on X.com on Thursday.
During the interview, she mentioned that she hadn’t visited the country in over 20 years and she is fascinated by Nigerian culture.
She said, “I’m just really excited that I’m in my father’s land and I wanna get to experience more about it.
“It’s been 20 years since I’ve been here, so I just wanna get to know more about Nigeria’s culture and where I really come from.”
She further reiterated her interest in winning the Miss Universe Nigeria pageantry.
“My goal is to obviously win the crown for Miss Universe Nigeria,” she said.
Adetshina also urged people to learn from her story and be willing to embrace all cultures with the goal of living peacefully.
She said she is ready to embrace her diversity and try her best to merge both cultures, blend in and make the best of the experience.
Adetshina will be participating in the Miss Universe Nigeria 2024 beauty pageant.
She was invited for the pageantry following her withdrawal from the Miss South Africa pageant, triggered by significant backlash over questions regarding her nationality.
