It was a horrible experience, and I wouldn’t wish it on anyone. It was heartbreaking that I wasn’t welcomed or accepted because of my name, despite living in South Africa for 23 years - Miss Universe Nigeria 2024, Chidimma Adetshina tearfully speaks.
Born and raised in South Africa to a Nigerian father and a Mozambican mother, Chidimma was a contender in the recently concluded Miss SA pageant until her withdrawal following weeks of turmoil over her nationality.
The 23-year-old accepted the invitation from the organisers to join the Miss Universe Nigeria competition after stepping down from Miss SA and went on to win the crown on Saturday night.
“This crown is not just for beauty; it’s a call for unity,” she said.
She will represent Nigeria at the Miss Universe contest in November.
The most tattooed woman in the world, whose body is 99.8 percent covered in tats, has explained why she decided to coat herself in ink.
Esperance Fuerzina, 36, from Connecticut, has tattoos all over her body - from her scalp right down to the soles of her feet.
She's even inked some of the most sensitive parts of the body, including her eyelids, eyeballs, gums, tongue and genitals.
After growing up in a military family and living all over the States as well as Japan, Fuerzina, who is an army veteran, got her first tattoo when she was 21.
Some 15 years on and she now holds the record for the woman with the most tattoos as well as the most body modifications in history.
Not only did Fuerzina split her tongue in 2014, she's also had 15 subdermal implants, several piercings and some other rather unique mods, too
