She has a Nigerian passport, doesn't she? Bitter people say they don't want you. Do you want to force them to like you?

Come home, baby, and live your life!

Well thinking differs, if you are not needed anymore you go back to your home or better still go to another nation with those cash you want to use in the court of law...

I totally blame Nigerians for embracing this intruder and giving her a platform to contest in the miss universe pageant. She collected the runner-up crown and ran back to her country. Her Nigerian lineage is not clear, we don't know anything about her supposed Nigerian father but we know she has a Mozambican mother who forges identities for a living. She's as much as a scam artist as her mother, I hope she's deported to Mozambique not Nigeria.

People get mind sha. So, if you win court case, you'd go and stay where they deported you? How do you insist and feel safe around people who don't want you? Isn't this a foolish bravery?

It's not easy, and besides she's fighting for her right, it is just hard being a Nigerian this moment in time

There are often putrid opinions that serve better use sitting in the cranium of the bearer.

You think it's easy to suddenly wake up and adjust your entire existence to another society after practically spending your entire first three decades of life growing up in and calling another place home?

If her attempt at seeking legal redress in SA subsequently fails, she's wholely welcome to settle in Nigeria. She'll always be embraced by her maternal roots, irrespective of her mother's alleged misgivings. Whether that sickens you or anyone else, is the internalized bitterness you'll have to live with.

It's almost always a woman hanging out other women to dry😵‍💫.

The zoo is what she scared of.

Kidnapping
Banditry
No rule of law
No good housing
Food
No electricity. Whats more, less hope for the future.

The zoo can never be an option.even her crown will be stolen from her at muritala Muhammad airport.

Nonsense! Why did she agree to contest as Nigerian when she does not identify as one? Where is her Nigerian father? Where is he from? Her identity forger of a mum decided to give her Nigerian names for reasons best known to her and gullible Nigerians rushed to claim her.

Abeg comot her here with that gender bs card you want to pull. I'm not like you men that would rather twist facts and make men appear the victim. For me, what is wrong is wrong regardless the gender

well...well...well....turns out it isn't that easy to just leave where you grew up knowing as home to some foreign land permanently especially if where you're switching to is below that place you're leaving.

If I was born in south Africa, as a Nigeria I am aa citize of south Africa their law

No be automatically so, my brother! Under South Africa law, you no be South Africa citizen just because say dem born you for there.

South Africa citizenship law no dey work like America where anyone dem born for their ground automatically becomes a citizen (jus soli). South Africa dey use what dem dey call jus sanguinis (citizenship by blood) plus some strict rules.

How E Dey Work Under South Africa Law
1. The General Rule (Citizenship by Birth)
For you to be South Africa citizen by birth, at least one of your parents must be a South Africa citizen or a Permanent Resident (PR) at the time dem born you.

If your Papa and Mama na full Nigerians (meaning non of dem carry South Africa citizenship or PR when dem born you): You NO BE South Africa citizen by birth.

Dem go treat you as a foreign national who was simply born on South Africa soil.

2. The Special Exception (When You Turn 18)
There is one special path inside their Citizenship Amendment Act:

If dem born you for South Africa,

Your parents no be citizens or PR holders when dem born you,

AND you come live inside South Africa continuously from the day dem born you until you turn 18 years old,

Then when you reach 18, you get right to apply for South Africa citizenship by birth. But e no dey happen automatically — you must apply through their Department of Home Affairs, and your birth must have been registered properly with dem.

Summary: If your Nigerian parents dem no get Permanent Residence or SA citizenship when dem born you for South Africa, you remain a Nigerian citizen. You go only fit apply for SA citizenship when you clock 18 years, provided you stay for SA all through your growth!

A case of chidima the Nigeria beauty pageant

Ah, the case of Chidimma Adetshina perfectly connects to what we just talked about! Her story is literally the practical textbook example of how South Africa's citizenship and identity laws work in real life.

Here is how the whole saga played out:

1. How E All Start (Miss South Africa 2024)
Chidimma was born in Soweto, South Africa, to a Nigerian father and a mother of Mozambican descent. She grew up in SA and entered the Miss South Africa 2024 pageant, reaching the Top 11.
Wikipedia

However, heavy backlash started on South African social media. Many people argued that because of her Nigerian name and heritage, she was "not South African enough" to represent the country on an international stage.
Scalabrini Institute for Human Mobility in Africa (SIHMA)

2. The Home Affairs Investigation & ID Theft Fraud
As the controversy grew, the South African Department of Home Affairs launched an official investigation into her nationality.
Wikipedia

What they discovered shocked everywhere:

The Department reported finding prima facie evidence that Chidimma’s mother committed identity theft back in 2001 to get South African citizenship documents.

Allegedly, the mother stole the identity of an innocent South African woman to register herself and her child.
Scalabrini Institute for Human Mobility in Africa (SIHMA)

Even though Chidimma was just a baby when it happened and was innocent of any crime, because her mother’s citizenship foundation was illegal, Chidimma's own legal claim to citizenship by birth became invalid.
YouTube

Facing massive public pressure, xenophobic attacks online, and safety concerns, Chidimma officially withdrew from Miss South Africa in August 2024.

Stop the nonsense, you're confusing, individual comfort with species survival. While change can make people feel stressed or uncomfortable at first, the scientific fact is that humans are the most adaptable creatures on Earth.

This girl these people DO NOT WANT YOU THERE. Even if you win the court case, what is the guarantee of your safety? These people can attack you physically or otherwise? You get sense? relocate from that place and go to a more civilized country. Go join other fashion models for Miami or Bali. I have never seen anyone fight so hard to stay in the midst of degenerate barbarians. You get sense?
Re: Chidimma Adetshina Heads to Court to Challenge Deportation From S.A (Video) by kiddaz: 6:13am On Jul 17
This girl no get sense. She should be deported to Mozambique. We don't want her anymore and besides there's no real proof she's got any ties with Nigeria na help we help her and she's throwing that help in the mud with her stewwwpd decisions. They don't want her yet she's about to fight them with their own laws her criminal mother broke. Mozambican river shegoat undecided
Re: Chidimma Adetshina Heads to Court to Challenge Deportation From S.A (Video) by Mirasteel: 6:13am On Jul 17
She should fight for her right, she's a South African citizen by birth and there's nothing anyone can do about it.

I swear jealousy will kee those lazy xenophobic black South Africans.

I do agree with you for blaming Nigerians to allow her to take part in the Miss Nigeria beauty contest. Her mother claims to be from Mozambique ... no proof of father's country of origin ..so what proof does she have that she is Nigerian?
I disagree with you that she should be deported from South Africa. She was born in South Africa. Isn't South Africa her country of origin? If you were born in Nigeria ... can you be legally deported? ...save the explanation...yes/no? Let's not be hypocrites. She has done the right thing and will win in court.

If her parents could migrate to South Africa she can migrate out of it, no one said she should migrate to Nigeria.

Trust me, all of this is because Nigeria lacks poor infrastructures, if our useless leaders had fixed this country, the likes of her and others would chose Nigeria first, so i don't blame her for her action.
