Chidimma, born in 2001 to a Nigerian father and Mozambican mother in Soweto, South Africa, brings a diverse cultural heritage to her role. Her journey to the Miss Universe stage has been anything but conventional. Previously, she competed in the Miss South Africa pageant but withdrew following controversy surrounding her nationality and questions from South Africa’s Department of Home Affairs about her mother’s documentation.
Undeterred, Chidimma then entered the Miss Universe Nigeria pageant, winning the title among 24 other talented contestants and securing her place at Miss Universe 2024.
Chidimma’s participation in Miss Universe represents not only her personal journey but also a larger narrative of resilience and representation. By representing Nigeria, she embodies the strength, diversity, and ambition of Nigerian women. Her background and experiences add a unique perspective to this global stage, inspiring fans across Africa and the world.
