But this victory wasn’t without its fair share of drama. Chidimma, who entered the pageant as Miss Taraba, initially made headlines when she pulled out of the Miss South Africa competition. The reason? A barrage of online backlash over her nationality and some eyebrow-raising fraud accusations from the South African Home Office. Not one to be kept down, Chidimma accepted an invitation from the Miss Universe organisers following her withdrawal, setting the stage for her triumphant return.
