Chidimma Adetshina, crowned Miss Universe Nigeria 2024, has officially concluded her reign and is already setting her sights on new opportunities in Nigeria’s entertainment landscape, including a potential appearance on Big Brother Naija 2026. The beauty queen expressed her excitement over her experiences during her time in Nigeria, emphasizing the many opportunities she encountered throughout her tenure.
In a candid video message, Chidimma reflected on her eight months in Nigeria as Miss Universe Nigeria, describing her stay as “amazing” and full of learning and exposure. She also highlighted the professional and personal growth she achieved, noting that she plans to return to Nigeria soon after her documents are processed.
Chidimma revealed that she could not participate in the recently concluded Big Brother Naija Season 10 because she was still holding the Miss Universe Nigeria title at the time the show began. However, she expressed enthusiasm about joining the 2026 edition, saying, “I really enjoyed my stay in Nigeria, and even now, like I said, once I get my documents sorted, I am going. Nigeria was really great for me. The eight months I stayed there were amazing. I feel there is more; there are so many opportunities in Nigeria. I also wanted to do Big Brother next year.”
Her reign officially ended in August 2025 when Onyinyechi Basil was crowned Miss Universe Nigeria 2025, marking a passing of the crown and the start of a new chapter for Chidimma. Fans have since reacted to her revelation about pursuing Big Brother Naija, offering a mix of encouragement, caution, and excitement. Some praised her bravery and resilience, while others advised her to be prepared for the show’s challenges, including its high-pressure environment and public scrutiny.
Supporters highlighted the potential benefits of the platform, emphasizing exposure and personal growth, while some cautioned Chidimma about the reality TV show’s competitive and sometimes toxic nature. Despite mixed reactions, Chidimma remains confident about taking on the new challenge and continuing to expand her influence in Nigeria’s entertainment industry.
As a former Miss Universe Nigeria, Chidimma’s transition from pageantry to reality television could open doors for other beauty queens looking to diversify their careers. Her plans demonstrate a strategic approach to leveraging her fame and experiences, ensuring that she continues to inspire fans and aspiring entertainers across Nigeria and beyond.
