Former Miss South Africa contestant Chidimma Adetshina has announced her intention to participate in the 2025 Big Brother Naija (BBNaija) reality show.
BBNaija, Nigeria’s premier reality TV show, is currently in its ninth season.
In a recent interview with Cool FM, Adetshina shared her excitement about joining the next season of 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 stated.
Adetshina also discussed the emotional toll of the Miss South Africa controversy, describing it as a challenging experience that often left her in tears.
She emphasised that despite the difficulties, she chose to maintain a positive outlook, believing that her struggles could lead to greater opportunities.
“It’s been a long journey. It’s been so hard, I won’t lie,” Adetshina admitted. “Sometimes, I would cry myself to sleep and wonder, ‘Why me?’ and wish it would end.
“But during tough times, it’s important to focus on the positive side. I had to shift my mindset and believe that greatness could come from all this,” she added.
Chidimma’s participation in Miss South Africa had been marred by controversy over her nationality, leading to significant backlash on social media and calls for her disqualification.
The situation escalated to an investigation by the South African Ministry of Home Affairs, resulting in her withdrawal from the pageant.
