The newly crowned Miss Universe Nigeria, Chidimma Adetshina, has talked about her motivational path to the Miss Universe 2024 stage.

Chidimma travelled to Mexico last month to compete for Nigeria in the international tournament; the final match is set for November 16 at Arena CDMX.

Chidimma recently shared a reflection on her seven-year wait to compete for Nigeria on Instagram.

The twenty-one-year-old model described the difficulties she encountered, which included “tears, pain, and trauma.” She claimed that she persisted in spite of her self-doubt and feelings of inadequacy

“2017, I had this dream of walking the Miss Universe stage with no idea of what it means to be a Queen. 7 years later, in just exactly 8 days I, Chidimma Vanessa Onwe Adetshina will be walking the Miss Universe stage,” she wrote.

“Win or not I am so proud of myself and filled with so much joy and fulfilment for I am about to accomplish what once seemed impossible. I envisioned this moment and I’m about to make it a reality.

“This journey hasn’t been easy for me mentally and emotionally. The tears, the pain, the trauma. The days I felt like giving up, the days I felt unworthy and undeserving, however I refuse to let anyone or anything dim my vision.

“This achievement is not just mine but it’s for NIGERIA, it’s for AFRICA. Your support and encouragement has been the fuel to my fire.

“To anyone who has ever doubted themselves, I see you and i believe in you . Your dreams are valid. Dont let fear hold you back.

“Don’t let doubt whisper you can’t because YOU CAN The journev will never be easy.”
