Chidimma Adetshina makes history as first runner-up at Miss Universe 2024
Chidimma Adetshina, the newly crowned Miss Universe Nigeria, has made history by becoming the first runner-up at the 73rd Miss Universe pageant.
The grand finale of the Miss Universe 2024 beauty pageant ended in Mexico City on Sunday morning, with Miss Denmark Victoria Kjaer Theilvig taking home the crown.
Theilvig defeated Adetshina in the final, while contestants from Bolivia, Mexico, Venezuela, Argentina, Puerto Rico, Russia, Chile, Thailand, Canada and Peru also made it to the top 12.
Chidimma’s journey to the top was remarkable. She impressed judges and the audience with her thoughtful answers on diversity and human respect.
Initially, she made it to the top 30 finalists and gradually rose to the top five contenders, ultimately securing the top two spots alongside Theilvig.
Theilvig, however, took over the crown from Miss Universe 2023 Sheynnis Palacios of Nicaragua.
Chidimma’s feat means she is the first Nigerian woman to take the second spot — following in the footsteps of Agbani Darego was a contestant at Miss Universe 2001.
Darego became the first Nigerian to place among the top 10 semi-finalists, finishing seventh overall.

Actress Tope Osoba begs for N12m for breast cancer surgery
Tope Osoba, the Nollywood actress, has appealed for financial assistance after undergoing her first breast cancer surgery.
Foluke Daramola, Osoba’s colleague, took to Instagram to share the actress’ plight.
According to Daramola, Osoba has already undergone one surgery but requires an additional procedure to remove the remaining particles from her breast. The second surgery is estimated to cost around N12 million.
Daramola shared a video of Osoba’s hospital examination, revealing that the actress has reached out to Bolaji Amusan, president of the Theatre Arts and Motion Pictures Practitioners Association of Nigeria (TAMPAN), for support.
“It’s one of our colleagues. She has breast cancer. She has had one surgery. But they said there are still some particles in her breast that need to be removed,” she said.
“She needs about N10/N12 million for her to be able to get back on her feet. She has already sent a letter to our president, Mr Latin. We are supporting her with what we can.
The post caption reads: “Behold the face of the colleague I told you all. She has gone through the surgery we didn’t get much but we appreciate you all. Her family members rallied around and we were able to pay for the surgery but we still hope for your support and help pls.
“This is her direct account details. Nothing is too small 0107515251 GTBank Tope Osoba God bless u all. A ni fi iru e gba loruko Jesu Amin.”
In another clip, Osoba expressed gratitude to those who have donated so far and pleaded for continued assistance to cover the costs of her second surgery.
“I want to say a very big thank you to everyone who supported me. I want to say a very big thank you to everybody who donated for me to go through my breast surgery. I want to especially thank sister Foluke Daramola for reaching out to people,” she said.
“I still need your help guys. Because there is still aftercare. Please guys show me love like you have always done. This is very important. I need to get back on my feet very soon. Do this for me for me as a birthday gift. Because my birthday is December 2nd. Please help me. I love you.”
