Chidimma Adetshina To Move To Nigeria After South Africa Nationality Row

Chidimma Adetshina said that she intends to relocate to Nigeria after finishing as the runner-up in the Miss Universe pageant while representing the West African country, reported The Guardian.

The 23-year-old law student withdrew from the Miss South Africa competition in August due to concerns for her safety and that of her family, following questions about her nationality.

This situation arose amid allegations that her mother had stolen the identity of a South African woman, a matter that is currently under investigation by South African police. She said:

I have already decided that I want to relocate to Nigeria.

She said she did not know whether she could go back to South Africa and that she would work with a lawyer in the hope of getting the situation resolved by the end of the year.

When asked about seeing her child and whether they would move with her to Nigeria, Adetshina responded::

I haven’t seen my family yet. I’m really looking forward to that and I guess when we do meet we’ll be able to make this decision, because it is a hasty one.

As Adetshina progressed in the Miss South Africa competition, she faced persistent abuse over her citizenship due to her Nigerian name and father.

Following this, she was invited to compete in Miss Universe Nigeria in August, where she emerged victorious.

Recently, the director general of South Africa’s Home Affairs department informed parliament that Adetshina and her mother’s identity documents had been cancelled because they failed to provide sufficient reasons for their eligibility to retain them.

Adetshina, who was born in Soweto and had previously said her mother was South African with Mozambican roots, said she doesn’t have any animosity towards South Africa. She added:

Because at the end of the day it is still a place that I call home, no matter how painful it is to say it.

For the next year, Adetshina will be travelling the world with the Miss Universe organisation. She hopes to foster connections between her continent and the two countries she cherishes.

Sadly South Africa, the country we all fought for during apartheid is fast becoming the open sore of the continent with its silly xenophobia.

NOTHING NEW HERE. JUST NORTH OF RIVER NGULUKUDELA (LIMPOPO), THE TRIBALISTIC XENOPHOBIC SHONA HATERS, HAVE BEEN TELLING NDEBELE PEOPLE SINCE 1980, THST THEY SHOULD GO BACK TO KZN. SHONAS WERE INDOCTRINATED WITH A VERY HEAVY DOSE OF ZANU TRIBAL POLITICS. THAT IS WHY THEY BELIEVE THEY ARE INDIGENOUS, NOT THE KHOISAN PEOPLE. THEY HAVE TOLD NDEBELE PEOPLE THEY ARE REFUGEES FROM SOUTH AFRICA, EVEN THOUGH 99.99 PERCENT OF THE NDEBELE PEOPLE ORIGINATE IN MATEBELELAND, MOST OF WHO SHARE THE MOYO SURNAME. SOUTH AFRICANS ARE BETTER IN THAT THEY TARGETS FOREIGNERS. SHONAS TARGETS FELLOW CITIZENS, WHO HAVE BEEN ON THE LAND LONG BEFORE THE COUNTRY WAS EVEN FORMED AS RHODESIA, LATER ZIMBABWE. ITS WELL DESERVED REVENGE TO SEE SHONAS BEATEN UP, AND NECKLACED IN SOUTH AFRICA.

I'm sorry bro, not all **** are tribalistic. Some dunderheads are the ones fanning tribalism.

It's a shame how Africans can hate other Africans to a point of questioning their nationality, yet they do nothing of the same to Europeans and other actual foreigners.

Even the Guptas. As if they made that land, while they are all occupiers, settlers, migrants after gold discovery. In a just nation the young woman had nothing to justify, the mother would have to reapply only

What applies to one must apply to all. I don't see Nigeria opening their borders to the rest of Africa.

@Pastor Chris **** are worse. South Africans are better. In Zimbabwe, **** don't even want to hear you speak your language. To ****, the assumption is that as long as you are an African from Zimbabwe, you understand their Shona. In Zimbabwe, **** impose themselves on anyone who is Black, and Zimbabwean. You can't be friends with a Shona as another tribe just speaking your own language. If you don't speak their Shona, **** call that tribalism, yet they too never speak any Matebeleland languages. Its only the Shona people, like South Africans, who have names for other Africans. Zambians, Malawians are Mabrandaya. Mozambicans are Matsanga or Moscans. Batswana are Tumatsvana. Ndebele are Madzviti. **** are not jus[ an evil tribe. They are SADISTS!!
