MISS UNIVERSE 2024: NIGERIA PICKED ME AT MY LOWEST POINT – CHIDIMMA ADETSHINA
Chidimma Adetshina, Nigeria’s representative at the 73rd Miss Universe pageant, has expressed gratitude to Nigerians and Africans for their steadfast support, which helped her achieve her historic feat.
Despite not claiming the throne, Adetshina left a lasting impression and her message struck a chord with many.
Sheynnis Palacios of Nicaragua was replaced as Miss Universe 2023 by Victoria Kjaer Theilvig of Denmark.
Adetshina expressed her sincere gratitude on Instagram, remembering how Nigerians helped her through tough circumstances and how Africa showed the strength of solidarity.
“To Nigeria: THANK YOU is not enough for all the support you’ve shown. You picked me up when I was at my lowest. I’ve never opened up much but I was ready to give up on my life but you became my strength. On days I never wanted to fight you gave me the strength to fight. I’m so grateful for each and everyone for walking this journey with me,” she wrote.
Addressing Africa, she wrote: “To Africa: thank you for showing your love and support. As much as I represent Nigeria, Africa fought for me. My voice, my story touched many and brought us together. This journey has taught me the power of Unity. I want us to live in a society where we can all accept and celebrate one another.”
Inspiring people with her fortitude and thankfulness, Adetshina emphasized that this is just the beginning of her journey, not its conclusion.
