Chidimma Adetshina, the stunning Nigerian beauty who captured the world’s attention as the 1st runner-up at the Miss Universe pageant, has made a shocking announcement. In a recent interview with Silverbird TV, she revealed her decision to retire from the world of pageantry.

Adetshina candidly shared that her journey in pageantry has been marked by significant emotional turmoil. “Finishing in the top 2 is still a shocker for me… Honestly, I am done. Pageantry was a real traumatic experience for me,” she confessed.

The former Miss Nigeria and Miss Universe Africa and Oceania explained that she is leaving pageantry to prioritize her personal well-being and academic pursuits. She also mentioned her plans to relocate to Nigeria from South Africa, where she had been living.

“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,” she added.
