Chidimma Adetshina Speaks On Quitting Pageantry, Relocates To Nigeria

Miss Universe runner-up, Chidimma Adetshina, has announced her decision to quit pageantry.
Speaking during a recent interview with Silverbird TV, Adetshina said pageantry has been a traumatic experience for her, just as she also said quitting for personal reasons and relocating to Nigeria from her estranged country, South Africa.
“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,” she said.
“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.”
After finishing as 1st runner-up at the Miss Universe competition, Adetshina was named Miss Universe Africa and Oceania.
She won Miss Nigeria after withdrawing from the Miss South Africa contest after she attracted scrutiny over her nationality.
