Nigeria is shining on the global stage once again as Chidimma Vanessa Adetshina has been crowned Miss Universe Africa and Oceania at the 73rd Miss Universe Competition, held in Mexico. The beauty queen finished as the first runner-up, second only to Miss Denmark, Victoria Kjaer Theilvig.
This historic win makes Adetshina the first-ever Miss Universe Nigeria to claim a spot in the top two of the prestigious pageant—a groundbreaking moment for Nigeria and the continent.
Adetshina’s journey to the Miss Universe stage was far from ordinary. She previously withdrew from the Miss South Africa contest after facing scrutiny over her Nigerian heritage. However, she bounced back stronger, claiming the Miss Nigeria title and taking the international stage by storm.
Now holding the title of Miss Universe Africa and Oceania, Adetshina is not only representing Nigeria but also the African continent and Oceania region with grace and distinction. Her achievement is a testament to resilience, hard work, and the ability to turn challenges into triumphs.
Adetshina’s historic placement has made her a symbol of pride and inspiration to aspiring beauty queens and young women across the globe. With this milestone, she has solidified her place as one of Nigeria’s most accomplished pageant queens.
Here’s to Chidimma Adetshina, a shining star whose legacy is just beginning!
