Chidimma Adetshina, the former Miss South Africa contestant, has revealed her plans to participate in 2025 Big Brother Naija.
BBNaija is the biggest reality show in Nigeria and Its ninth season is currently ongoing.
In a recent interview with Cool FM, Chidimma disclosed her intentions to take part in next year’s BBNaija.
“I want to enter Big Brother Naija next year. If I can stay away for seven weeks at Miss SA, trust me, I am sure I can do it,” she said.
She also opened up about the emotional impact of the Miss SA controversy, stating that it was a difficult journey that often left her in tears.
She added that she chose to adopt a positive mindset, believing that something great could come from her situation.
“For me, it has been a long journey. It’s been so hard, I won’t lie,” she added.
“Sometimes, I would cry to sleep and be like, ‘Why me?’ and want it to end. But sometimes, when difficult moments happen, you must look at the positive side. So I had to change my mindset and see that greatness may come from all this,” she said.
Recall that Chidimma’s participation in Miss South Africa sparked controversy due to her nationality.
The issue escalated on social media, with many South Africans expressing discontent and calling for her disqualification.
The uproar eventually led to an investigation by the South African Ministry of Home Affairs, after which Chidimma withdrew from the pageant.
