Miss Nigeria deserve the miss world Mexico vote let her work hard
This is unfair and some of the facts are not spoken hear. Trevor Noah's mother didn't steal someone's identity while chidimas mother committed a crime. Let's also speak on the crimes committed.
She was born in Soweto, that makes her a South-African by birth. Why won't Africans face racism in other continents when we as Africans hate each other. This is just sad 😒
South Africans nowonder they are declining slowly akenyan won agold for Qatar.
According to her own admission on Silverbird TV, she is from a state in Nigeria till age 3, even the interview was shocked by her admission.
Stop making this girl a celebrity. She had fraudulent documents. They run from SA . Ask yourself why?????? Go do your research.
BBC has failed to do proper research as usual
African xenophobic, petty issuesvamong each other, between Africans. White, Yellow and beige around the world are loving it. A wealthy continent like that, they want everything from it. The best thing for them is to see the weakest side of Africans, so they can continue to use against Africans to get the respurces and the land. For the Diáspora, show case why our ancestors got sold into slavery. Why we are in the mess we still are. Africans in the continent cannot even set and an example for us in the slave trade diáspora. 😢
Last time i checked BBC African boarders were created by ur country. Be that as it may, we have laws which must be followed. South African citizenship act is clear. Read it
We don't know Chidimma as a South African even herself she claim to be Nigerian. She's lucky that finally went back to her roots. So what's the issue her. Why is she forcing herself to the country that she's does not belong to. She's playing a sheep in wolf skin anyone can see that.
I think black Africans hate South Africans so much that they don't even deserves to own it.
Not her crying foul she wants to write her own narrative, truth is her mom is a criminal who had a South African criminal home affairs helping her to steal someone identity. Do you guys know how hard it is not to have documentation?
What erks me the most is that she is low key rubbing it in our faces that yes my mom stole someone's identity and successfully so
1:11 “Chidimma couldn’t have participated in the actions of her mother because she was an infant at the time” ‼️Girl had no control of her destiny.. she was born into something outside of her control. She was literally born and raised in South Africa. When Africa should be united in their international pursuits, it’s off putting that the South African fans 🇿🇦 are the repeat offenders in scrutinizing their women’s mixed African diaspora and heritage, including that of Mellisa Nayimuli and Chidimma Adetshina. Thank you for highlighting this issue BBC News Africa. The bullying these women received is unacceptable.
As a journalist ya’l should have focused on the woman that couldn’t register her child because on Chidima’s parents for 23 years the woman couldn’t do anything because of the fraud that took place. Chidima didn’t do anything wrong but she is not a victim her parents took a decision that ruined another child’s life who has been unregistered for her whole life imagine talk about how identity fraud can mess up one’s life. South Africans constitution is clear on Chidima’s case but also the life of a child that lost benefits which were given to Chidima but Chidima didn’t know she must blame her parents for putting her in this situation they knew the truth and still didn’t stop her. I feel bad for Chidima and the kid that couldn’t be registered because her parents didn’t think about their actions
BBC must get their facts straight….pathetic journalism
Black South Africans are mumu on default
What surprised me the most was that after all the fuss about not being a real south african, they gave the crown to a European south african. So basically a South African citizen with African roots is a no no, but Indian or European roots is cool. Black SA logic for you
😂😂😂😂BBC news , Nigeria 😂😂😂😂😂
Which crown did she give up? She was never born in South Africa.. her parents came to SA in 2010. This journalist must be fired immediately
Apartheid was brutal, they are still traumatized. Please give them, their due peace to be first in such competitions.
Black south africans are strange 😂😂
So when " Van der Merwe" or "Van Zyl" competes, they are eligible. How do they represent south african heritage or culture? Or the South african indians? 😂😂
Go eat grass.
