Miss Nigeria, Chidimma Adetshina, has spoken of her pride at coming second in the Miss Universe competition, as well as being named Miss Africa and Oceania. "I'm so proud of myself and I just made history," she said, shortly after losing out to Miss Denmark, Victoria Kjær Theilvig.
Adetshina first participated in the Miss South Africa pageant because she was born and raised in South Africa.
However, because her father is Nigerian, she faced racist abuse and trolling.
This compelled her to quit Miss South Africa and was subsequently invited by authorities in Nigeria to compete in Miss Universe Nigeria.
