Chidimma Adetshina Prefers Nigeria to South Africa
Chidimma Adetshina, a former Miss South Africa contestant, has revealed she isn’t eager to return to South Africa anytime soon. Chidimma faced backlash during her participation in Miss South Africa, leading her to withdraw from the pageant after the South African Home Office accused her mother of fraud and identity theft.
Following her withdrawal, Chidimma was invited to join the Miss Universe Nigeria pageant, which she accepted. Since arriving in Nigeria over a week ago, she has expressed her happiness about being in her father’s homeland.
In an interview with Cool FM Nigeria, the model stated, “I think it’s safe to say I’m not going back. It’s been amazing. I’m not even looking forward to going back to South Africa. I just want to explore more. I want to stay longer and see what happens next.”
The iconic fashion designer, Giorgio Armani, has reportedly passed away, at the age of 91.
The fashion icon will be remembered for his left act that he built over time. Starting out from 1960’s and successfully building up his brand to different luxury empires in the world, spanning accessories, fragrances, cosmetics, interior design, sports sponsorships, and a chain of exclusive hotels.
“He was indefatigable to the end.”
It has been reported that Onyinyechi Basil from Anambra State has won the Miss Universe Nigeria 2025 crown.
The fashion event was held on the 30th of August, 2025. After many rounds, the final five contestants represented Ogun, Lagos, Akwa Ibom, Anambra, and Bayelsa States.
Basil stood out among her peers, delivering impressive performances in the swimwear, traditional costume, evening gown, and question-and-answer segments.
She later emerged as the winner and was crowned Miss Universe Nigeria 2025. With this victory, she will also participate in the Miss Universe Pageant to represent Nigeria.
Nigerian Fashion Designer, Vekee James, states that as she grows in her business, she can never forget her roots.
During a recent interview on The Nancy Isime Show, the designer recalled her growing-up experience in Ajegunle.
“The reason I told that story at the event where I went to speak publicly was because of the content that my husband and I posted on social media.
“The comments I got—I saw people on Twitter saying things like, ‘So you built your brand for five years, you know, you got this base where you’re making dresses for people with money and people with class. And then you just go and taint that class with that kind of classless video.’”
