Miss Universe Nigeria is gaining more attention after former Miss South Africa finalist Chidinma Adesina accepted an offer from the Nigerian pageant.
Chidinma had been barred from competing in Miss South Africa because of her Nigerian descent, but withdrew last week after the Home Affairs Ministry unearthed sordid details about her mother.
The Nigerian pageant offered Chidinma Vanessa Onwe Adesina the opportunity to compete in the pageant and she accepted.
South Africans have been buzzing on social media with their embrace of the model, reminding Nigerians that she was born in South Africa.
The debate was further fuelled by photos of other Miss Universe Nigeria contestants.
Photos of the other women proved to South Africans that Chidinma was the winner of the pageant.
No DNA🧬 but RSA. She is us and we are her!
We were born here and we invested a lot in our daughter.
