Breaking: Nigeria’s Chidinmma Adetshina emerges first runner-up in Miss Universe 2024

In a thrilling conclusion to the keenly contested Miss Universe 2024 competition, Nigeria’s representative Chidimma Adetshina has made history by emerging as the first runner-up at the 73rd Miss Universe pageant.

Miss Denmark – Victoria Kjaer Theilvig – emerged as winner of the contest. Theilvig takes over the crown from Miss Universe 2023 Sheynnis Palacios of Nicaragua.

The grand finale of the pageantry took place at the Arena CDMX in Mexico City, Mexico.

This year marked the 73rd edition of the Miss Universe competition, showcasing fierce rivalry among 126 contestants representing countries worldwide, including 18 participants from African nations such as Nigeria, Angola, and Egypt.

Initially, Chidimma made it to the top 30 finalists and gradually rose to the top five contenders, ultimately securing the top two spot alongside Theilvig.

Adetshina made headlines a few months ago when she officially withdrew from the Miss South Africa 2024 beauty pageant after reaching its final stage.

Her decision followed concerns raised by some South Africans questioning her ties to the country.

However, in a remarkable turn of events, she later clinched the Miss Universe Nigeria title, while representing Taraba State.
