Chidimma Adetshina, the controversial Miss South Africa contestant, has found a new platform to showcase her beauty and talent after being embroiled in a citizenship scandal. The former beauty pageant hopeful has officially accepted an invitation to compete in the Miss Universe Nigeria pageant.

“We believe that your journey in the world of pageantry is far from over,” Murray-Bruce said in a statement. “This is an opportunity to showcase your talent, grace, and beauty on a different stage.” Thrilled by the invitation, Adetshina expressed her gratitude for the support she has received and her excitement to embark on this new journey.
“I understand the responsibilities and expectations that come with this title and I am eager to represent Nigeria,” she said. As Adetshina prepares to compete in Miss Universe Nigeria, the investigation into her The Miss Universe Nigeria pageant is set to be a stage for Adetshina to reclaim the spotlight and potentially rewrite her pageant story..
