“Her dad is not Yoruba” – Confusion, opinions divided over ex-miss SA Adetshina’s tribe as she joins Miss Universe Nigeria

• Miss Universe Nigeria invited Chidimma to participate in the country’s pageant after she withdrew from the Miss SA pageant due to bullying from South Africans.

• A Nigerian actress expressed excitement for the upcoming edition of the show in a video, sparking debates about her Yoruba roots and her name.

The decision of former Miss South Africa Chidimma Adetshina to compete in the Nigerian beauty pageant Miss Universe Nigeria is beginning to elicit a variety of reactions from Nigerians.

Recall that Chidimma was invited to compete in the Miss Universe pageant in Nigeria after she was compelled to withdraw from the Miss SA pageant due to bullying from South Africans.

Additionally, she made a video in which she conveyed her enthusiasm for participating in this year’s edition. Nevertheless, her acknowledgment video has caused a rift among Nigerians, with a number of netizens inquiring about her origins and the name ‘Adetshina,’ as some have suggested that it is not a Yoruba name.

As they endeavored to elucidate the intricacies of her name and origin, others defended Chidimma.

Recall that Verydarkman asserted that the organizers of Miss Universe Nigeria would guarantee Chidimma’s victory in order to convey a message to South Africans.

@edwinjnr332: “@Dmatterarising @Toxyberry1 @OneJoblessBoy Her dad is not Yoruba.. Adetshina is not a Yoruba name.. you ppl are something else.. this babe is answering two Igbo names and u want to confuse me.”

@AdeJesuRe: “@se_fola @lawnreigh1 Some say she was married to an Itshekiri (Yoruba); others say “Adetshina” is her mothers name from Mozambique. Makes sense that a 23-year-old divorced an Itshekiri, & kept the Yoruba name, or that her Igbo father allowed her to use her mother’s Mozambique surname. Too many lies.”

@Temitayodara: “please tell chindinma to drop the Adetshina, she needs to show proof she’s Has anything yoruba.”

@ObaTrench: “@StHonorable @MissPearls She is Adeshina. She is Igbo & Yoruba.”
