A fresh wave of controversy has hit the Miss Universe Nigeria pageant as a popular social media personality, known as “Very Dark Man,” takes aim at the organizers in a viral video.
In the video, which has been widely circulated on Instagram, the outspoken critic harshly questions the legitimacy of Chidimma Adetshina’s recent win, accusing the organizers of misrepresentation.
“Una carry person wey no come from Taraba, call her Miss Taraba, how does she represent Taraba state?” Very Dark Man vehemently queried, suggesting that Chidimma Adetshina, who was crowned Miss Universe Nigeria 2024, does not genuinely represent the state of Taraba.
The video has sparked intense debate online, with many viewers expressing mixed reactions to the accusations. Some supporters agree with Very Dark Man’s critique, while others defend the pageant’s decision, emphasizing Chidimma’s qualifications and right to represent any state assigned to her.
Chidimma Adetshina’s win had already drawn attention after she was forced to withdraw from the Miss South Africa 2024 pageant last month due to controversy over her mixed heritage. Despite the challenges, her victory in the Nigerian pageant was seen as a triumphant comeback. However, this new development has cast a shadow over her success, as the Miss Universe Nigeria organizers now face mounting pressure to respond to the allegations.
The Miss Universe Nigeria organization has yet to issue an official statement regarding the criticism, but the situation is expected to continue unfolding in the days to come.
