The newly-crowned Miss Universe Nigeria, Chidimma Adetshina's participation in the upcoming Miss Universe pageant is still in doubt.
Will Chidimma Adetshina participate in Miss Universe?
After being crowned the 2024 Miss Universe Nigeria, Chidimma Adetshina is well on her way to representing Naija for the coveted Miss Universe crown, but will she get the opportunity?
She joined Miss Universe Nigeria amid outrage from South Africans who questioned her ability to represent Mzansi in Miss South Africa due to her surname, which sparked an investigation into her identity.

The Department of Home Affairs launched an investigation into the beauty queen's mother, who is suspected of having committed fraud to register her daughter at birth with a stolen ID.
Although her father is Nigerian, Chichi doesn't have Nigerian citizenship, which may cause problems as Miss Universe performs background checks to verify the hopefuls' identities.
Despite her recent crowning, Chidimma has yet to be named as one of the Miss Universe contestants.
