Chidimma Adetshina quits pageantry, gives reason

Miss Universe runner-up, Chidimma Adetshina has announced that she will no longer participate in any pageantry due to the trauma she faced recently.

The Miss Universe Africa and Oceania also announced her relocation to Nigeria from South Africa, where she was recently forced out of the country’s competition.

The beauty queen said, “Finishing in the top 2 [at the Miss Universe competition] is still a shocker for me… Honestly, I am done. Pageantry was a real traumatic experience for me.

“People still don’t understand how I felt. There were times when I almost quit during the Miss Universe contest. I’m really done with pageantry. I want to focus on myself and establish who I am. And forward my education as well.”

Recall that Adetshina was named Miss Universe Africa and Oceania after finishing as 1st runner-up at the Miss Universe competition early Sunday.

She won Miss Nigeria after withdrawing from the Miss South Africa contest after she attracted scrutiny over her nationality.
