If Chidima's mum had a South African heritage, there was no need for her to steal the citizenship documents for her daughter. Some of the Nigerians are very disciplined, but Chidima and her parents are definitely not among those people.
Thanks for that. I love chi chi however this year is for Nyekachi 👑 Nyekachi is not afraid of competition. I believe in my queens craft. We are getting miss Universe crown this year.
As a South African, who are you to dictate who should represent Nigeria though. Chichi is well avast with the Igbo culture, I mean y'all even saw the video of the finalst celebration. The organization should decide and the Nigerian fans who have welcomed her with open hands. Unlike some South Africans.
She will neva be full nigerian her family, husband and child is here she was born in sa she will neva stay there she is there to collect a crown south africa will celebrate
This woman do not care about anything. She proved herself just wanting to be famous and make money through her fame by accepting the invitation from Nigeria. She has yet again proven that she is not proudly South African. I hated what was happening to her but I have changed my mind.
@@manieregoedsouth africans don’t want her to represent them so do u expect her to give up on her dream while there is still a possibility for her to be on MU stage?
@@bxnjaminc3387her mom is being investigated for fraud. It’s very serious. If anything, Chidimma’s life has been negatively impacted. Instead of taking a moment to deal with her personal matters privately, she was completely unbothered. She continued to post on social media. She later jumped at the opportunity to join Miss Universe Nigeria, a decision which could also have a grave impact on her being naturalised in SA if she chooses to do so. Also, Chidimma is a mother, who is looking after her child while all this is happening?
People stepped on her toes and made her feel unworthy to live by South Africans. I really think Chichi shouldn't be told what to do by south Africans because of the way she was treated.
@@AmandaMlambo-dl5qu That didn't change the fact that you all treated her so badly. After all, this could have been resolved amicably. You lot bullied her and that isn't okay.
@@Malleh_omar She is using the eagle of Nigeria to fly. This is causing a lot of consternation among Xenophobic South Africans who were trying to harness the wind.
@@Malleh_omar if she had worn in SA, they would have carried out xenophobia on all Nigerians , Zimbabwe and and all Africans. They would have looting shops belonging to African foreigners
It’s evident they’re using her story for publicity. The national director even had an interview where he lied on record saying the home affairs case has been dropped and many other inaccuracies. I totally agree she should have sat this year out to heal and sort out her citizenship issues. I’m also annoyed at my fellow South Africans that are now aggressively voting for Chichi when they’ve never given the same energy for past “SAn” queens that needed votes at MU or MS 😒
@@stevenwilliams3015Well there's this word "Investigation" check it on the dictionary so thats why evidence hasn't been released yet because people need to be arrested which includes Home Affairs employees. This case is not the only case so have patience what you want will come
@@otsilemakinta9157 there is the word "fact" If your home affairs were an unbiased body, they wouldn't have said anything until they are 100% sure. You don't have evidence, yet you proclaim something. Xenophobic government
@@supreme9801Oh, Ongoing? So there has been no pure evidence yet, but you guys have already ran with it, used it to taunt that young girl everywhere. Shows you guys hate her, whether with fraudulent documents or not. We are not fools. We just keep watching you South Africans. Time shall tell
I am beyond elated she accepted the invitation to compete🔥❤. She's the living proof that Go Where Your Presence Is Welcomed. South Africans said she needs to go represent Nigeria, she can't represent SA. Now , ironically, that's what is likely going to happen they are now complaining, stating she should have waited. The same dictatorship happened with Lali and she wouldn't have made it to where she is today had she not went to Israel despite people forcing to "Wait". Her Miss Universe journey equipped her for her Miss Supra win. When you want a dream you stop at nothing to achieve it and that's what Chichi is doing. The comments on her being attention seeking are hilarious and ironical. If she was attention seeking as y'all assert, she would have used the international spotlight she garnered to her advantage. I mean even BBC covered her story. She would have jumped on every podcast, news shows and even used this as a launching pad to start a business. But she remained on the lay low even when people said untrue stuff about her and a man impersonated her father she just clarified on her social media accounts that's not her dad only. One thing about haters is that they hate it when your doing better in life despite their attempts to break you. Chidimma is a textbook definition of the word "Resilience". She's strong and unfazed. As far as fairity goes the contestants stated they invited her to join. One was even live on ig and fans asked her. So she's got the support of the girls and of course they will be the 1 or 2 that are against it but the majority rules. She's by far the prettiest at Miss Nigeria followed by Nyekachi. She's by far the most eloquent in terms of speech. So the likelihood of representing Nigeria is high. The Nyekachi fans will take a chill pill. I mean she couldn't pull it off in one of the easiest years ever she competed in. So Chici definitely got this in the bag. I pray she continues to remain unfazed and shows that when God says Yes nobody can say no!! God will continue to elevate her and I pray she remains a beautiful soul as she is now ❤
MIA should stop feeling like she should fight for chichi...now her brand will be tainted because of associating with chichi's drama! there is a family who is going through hell because of what chichi's mom did....Mia doesnt need that black cloud honestly ....just saying.
@@RinaHendriks thats not fair, she should not carry chichi's drama on her back....and if she says to interviewers "please dont ask me about chichi" , my God people will start speaking shit about her. ijust think its not fair, they should ask chichi and her mom about this issue...Mia needs to start work as Miss SA not be dragged in this mess
@iancaldeian Mia Le Roux has a face only a mother can love and yet most of you Europeans chose her. So don’t pretend like the Nigerian contestants aren’t overall better looking than the pale skinned annorexic Le Roux. And if Chidinma is so beautiful why didn’t you Europeans who run Miss SA choose her? Oh yea cos you wanted your kind to be the face of beauty in SA. mxm
I’m glad Chidimma accepted the invitation. She was not just a good competitor, she was great. Here is a woman who was born and grew up in South Africa. There is no reason she should give up all her preparation for the South African pageant and her hopes and aspirations, and wait another year to compete. Why should she defer her life? She was clearly a frontrunner and should not be held accountable for her mother’s “sins”, and her desire to better her life in another region of Africa. Imagine being forced to commit an illegal act to secure a better life on a continent where your ancestors roamed freely for thousands of years. The age-old question is why should anybody be held accountable for stealing a loaf of bread to feed her children. South Africa’s behavior feels rather petty, whereas Nigeria’s move makes them look magnanimous. Keep in mind that Chidimma's only connection to Nigeria is through her father. Her story is relatable to modern times and the Mexican population should definitely be able to empathize with it. This is a David and Goliath story. I hope she wins Nigeria and then goes on to win Miss Universe. Talent and skills should not be overlooked and then the misbehavior be justified. She went through enough harassment. I hope she has the last laugh. In other news, South Africans seem to travel to greener pastures - surprise, surprise, and take their racism and xenophobia with them. Exhibit A: th-cam.com/video/5wvj1kyxl8k/w-d-xo.html
THANK YOU !!! CHIDDIMMA WILL GO DOWN A STORM IN MEXICO WITH SO MANY MIGRANTS CROSSING TO GET OVER THE UNITED STATES BORDER !!!! THE MILLIONS OF MEXICANS NOW UNDOCUMENTED IN THE UNITED STATES WHO CROSS THE BORDER TO DO MENIAL LABOURER WORK IN THE UNITED STATES< VENEZUELANS< CHINESE< JAMAICANS
"why would you hold accountable someone who stole a loaf of bread to feed her children?" 😂😂😂 is that how your grandparents in 🇳🇬 raised you? It all make sense why you guys don't see the wrong commited by Chidima parents. Unfortunately, SA🇿🇦 was raised differently as our grandparebts fought for this country. So we will fight for it again and again to save it from vultures and opportunist like 🇳🇬.
@@homemail9653 Are you suggesting that the psychological and financial investment that she made is not as valuable as those of any other contestants anywhere else? She is not the one who created this mess. It was the ignorant xenophobic people of South Africa who tried to cage an eagle. Whatever became of that “rainbow nation” mantra? Furthermore, if this is what an opportunist looks like then mark every ambitious go-getter as an opportunist. Judges would not select a contestant If they did not think she had the intelligence and qualities to represent them internationally. Don’t blame Nigeria for recognizing excellence when they see it despite national origin. Chidimma is not curling up in a corner somewhere and waiting for other people to tell her how she should live. She is taking the springbok by the horns and subduing it while harnessing the wings of the Black Crowned Crane to soar to the heavens. Do not be mad because she is ambitious.
But not irrational to her😂. She was invited and she accepted. So why are you people so pained about it. Wrong or right move, she os a Nigerian peroid and has the right to contex anytime if she feels capable. She doesn't even need your SA anymore 😂😂😂
Rina Hendricks, don't worry about that, she is a Nigerian, even though Nigeria has selected 24 girls one can drop for her, we Nigerian love our own. We are not a slavery country like South Africa.
We don't care what you think. We, Nigerians, accept her to represent us with our full chest. The other Nigerian contestants will support their sister, and learn to up their game. Iron sharpens iron.
@@LateefAlabiOki So you're that much of a fool? The same Nigerians who refuse to listen and learn? .....There's no Xenophobic propaganda here.....I'm speaking facts, with Proof of videos of Nigerians rejecting her including Yoruba People blaming Igbo people for the crimes committed by Nigerians. What kind of idiot are you? We don't just talk we make research mumu
The Miss Universe Nigeria has made a very bad move. How are those 24 contestants are supposed to feel??? In ALL competitions the participants are supposed to feel a sense of FAIRNESS & EQUAL OPPORTUNITY. The Miss Universe Nigeria organization, whether true or not, is sending a message that they have selected Chidinma as their representative. Whether she wins Miss Universe Nigeria or not, she has put her South Africa citizenship process at risk. Very poorly advised.
@@chisomnzeh6249 I know it’s not my business, because if it was, I would have advised differently. Nevertheless, it’s a TH-cam Pageant Blog which is opened to Global Viewing and open for the Public to Comment. Instead of taking CONSTRUCTIVE Criticism so personal, my advice is to read with an open mind, and perhaps you might just learn something.
Hopefully this blows over soon so we can focus on how awesome and inspirational our Miss SA 2024 Mia is. But good luck to Chidimma, all the best to her. I don’t think she’s gonna lose Miss Nigeria Universe. Rina you definitely have an Afrikaans accent. A soft one though 😅
they are clearly doing this for clout and I dont like it at all. I also dont like that Chichi is going along with it. she is just proving all her bullies right. it's going to be so messy. AND YES Rina I think it would have made sense for her to wait and try again next year with an advocacy that reflects what happened to her this year.
Rina, I live in China, and you could "pass for Chinese" with the right makeup. You are also quite fair-skinned which is a beauty goal in China. So not only a Chinese but a BEAUTIFUL Chinese. 🎉❤
Look I know she was a baby and might not have known anything about what her mother did. However her accepting this offer is insensitive to the victims of all this, it seems egotistic and rushed. You're right, she should have taken some time to sort everything out, apologize and compete again, that would show leadership and accountability on her part
So that you pull her down and have a year to laugh at her . Chichi has left hateful Afrophobic South Africa for good . She may just complete her law degree in Nigeria
She really needs to sort out her citizenship status. What are the legal requirements to join miss Nigeria universe? How is she going to leave SA while under investigation?
Oh wow, now we have a psychiatrist here. I’d like to think that her ego isn’t as fragile as some of the Xenophobic people on the internet. Our mothers and daughters are much stronger than this. th-cam.com/video/Wd-fKhO4joQ/w-d-xo.html
Hi Rina, just a few things I want to point out. 1. The accusation against Chidimma's mother is still being investigated, so please, can y'all stop giving the impression that she has been convicted of the crime. South Africans already felt insecure about having Chidimma stand on that stage, and so they leashed out their xenophobic attacks at her....even before the identity theft issues came up, which I still believe is a hoax. 2. You may want to do more research before coming out to share your sentiments about the Miss Universe Nigeria finalists. The girls actually signed a petition requesting that Chidimma comes home and joins them in the final competition. This clearly shows the spirit of healthy competition amongst the girls, and should be applauded!. Some random people out there feel like Chichi's homecoming would displace these other girls, but that is their opinion....which they have every right to have, but, it just doesn't matter. 3. I don't think that the invitation sent out to Chidimma was meant to be her consolation prize. This girl has experienced the height of bitterness from people she called home, I am sure that her mental health at this moment would be quite shaky. The sense of belonging and love she would experience by participating with her true home girls would go a long way in helping her recover. She has practised well during her Miss SA pageant day, and clinched a spot in the finale, letting her come home and do her thing with the Miss Universe Nigeria finalists seems okay to me, after all, we are on the lookout for the best woman to represent Nigeria out there. The best thing anyone could do for ChiChi at this point is to show her love, or, better still, just let her breathe!
Rina doesn't want her to be bullied more than she's being bullied rn, and for the record,more evidence has been uncovered about her mom's fraudulent doings!
@lesedi3040 If you are in dire need of someone to pick on, why not go after her mother, and leave the girl be. You might also want to wait till the mum is actually CONVICTED of those crimes. This was never really about the alleged crime, your people were just too insecure and uncomfortable with having a girl of Nigerian descent grace their stage. If/when you travel to one of the civilised western countries, I hope you don't ever have to accuse anyone of racism, learn to swallow that bitter pill now.
Why does there need to be a conviction for us to know what she did ? It seems simple to me. Quality sources have confirmed it eg Home Affairs which investigated the situation, a government establishment. There are statements from the lady who had their identity stolen, a legitimate South African. Who btw has never seen or met Chiddima yet is recognized by the state as Chiddimas mother. We have no idea if this mess is even going to trial. So the local drug dealer is not dealing drugs because he hasn't been convicted? Yet the are people in the streets high AF. Where do they get these wonder drugs?😂 .... and no one is picking on Chiddima. There are South Africans who are supporting and voting for her as we speak. We wish her well honestly. As Miss Nigeria because that is what she is. That is her heritage. There is nothing wrong with South African people saying that they want to be represented by a South African. It's called Miss Sa for a reason and it's even in the rules. She wasn't supposed to enter in the first place. There wouldn't of been backlash if she didn't break the rules by entering and her mother by fruading our constitution. Where does that even happen? I mean hell would freeze over if an undocumented Mexican tried to enter Miss America. Which would be the case anywhere else. Which is the case here. She isn't even the only contestant to face scrutiny. It's just that her story didn't check out. Stop adding grey to something that is black and white. You are only drawn to this narrative because for some reason is it suits your agenda to think of South Africans as xenophobes. Every time South African people stand up for South Africa, they are labeled xenophobes. I honestly don't get why it is so offensive for South African people to say that they want a South African as Miss Sa. And this is actually the most neutral video I have seen from either side.
Chidimma was in my final 5 but not the winner. She should clear up her citizen status and come back next year. We had a few miss SA' s who only won the second time around. Not fair towards the gorgeous Miss Universe Nigeria Pageant semi-finalists already chosen. I wished her the very best. Mia Is a fantastic winner and Im Looking forward to the magic she is going to bring as our Miss SA 2024. I stumbled upon your channel and like it very much.
It speaks volumes that she ACCEPTED for 2024 and didn't think about the other MUN contestants... The girl just wants to be famous - AT ALL COSTS 😂 She doesn't care about feelings 🤣🤣 I actually respect her for that.
At first, I thought this was a criticism but realized it was a backhanded compliment. I really want her to succeed. South Africa went low and petty and Nigeria showed them how to be highminded and show true Christian charity.
This girl is only proving that she is after fame and fortune. If she was proudly South African she would have said; "I am sorry but I will wait for the outcome and if my identity was illegally achieved I will apoligise profusely and enter the Miss South African competition again. But, if she was married before and have a child I will then be against her 100%. Miss South Africa should be for young or previously un married girls. I do not evenbelieve that men that believe that they are woman should enter it even if they can. Miss South Africa should be for a woman. A previously unmarried woman and I also believe due tto our problem with teenage pregnancy, be a woman who never had sex before. I do not give damn about the woke world we are living in. Values should return to this woke world we are living in and South Africa is part of the countries who has thrown those morals of the past away to be seen as part of the woke damn world view today.
@@manieregoedTrue about SA values. Ubuntu runs through our blood across races. This behaviour is not 'make sure'. Miss SA Organization opened up Miss SA to married women, I think they also allow mothers. I just don't remember the exact inclusion criteria but they did change the old entry requirements. Mia 4 Miss Universe 2024🎉🎉😊❤❤
Wow, No wonder South Africans are slaves in their own country. Just look at the so much hate you guys are pouring on this young girl we Nigerians are very happy to receive her
@@mamaumomalematsa7365 Gullible and allow everything???? Yes, Some South Africans are XENOPHIC and it is not an accusation but a fact. Zimbabwe, Mozambique, Namibia, Lesotho and the Countries that has similar tribe and language should not be persecuted. You accused them for taking your Jobs. The Nigerians are accused for selling drugs. Who is responsible for bringing the drugs? Your police or custom??? How did it get to South Africa???? Are the Nigerians taking drugs too??? STOP BLAMING OTHER AFRICANS FOR YOUR FAILURE. Chidnma's Mother is a South African from Mozambican descent. The allegation of theft has not been prooven. The investigation is still on going.
Come and get ur brothers who are busy rooming the streets of Mzansi oh I forgot U guys don't have proper infrastructure...no proper roads...no street lights etc
You totally missed what Rina was saying. Rina’s always supported her. She just wanted her to lay low for THIS YEAR, sort her SA papers out & gather herself. Rina’s worried that people may use her for the publicity that comes with her currently. It may not benefit her personally as she may continue to be bullied by those who don’t want her there.
Chidimma should have waited to enter next year to join like any ordinary girl in Nigeria. her direct entry to be finalists is unfair to Nigerians contestants that went through the entire process to be finalist.
What you don't understand is the fact that those 30 top Nigerian ladies requested and partitioned Miss Universe Nigeria to invite Chidimma as an exceptional case. Whether she wins it or not, this saved her life. She couldn't sleep for days following horrible threats and attacks by black South Africans. Would you survive that animosity ambience, a 23 years black lady VS the entire South Africa! She needed a strong support to neutralize the situation. We thank Miss Universe Nigeria and the ladies for extending their hand to save a life. It is only in South Africa were you know Ubuntu theoretically but in Nigerians they practice Ubuntu. Nigerians are not selfish and hence would do whatever it takes to save a human life as a matter of priority. Miss Universe Nigeria is a benchmark to be followed worldwide!
This Chidimma girl is possibly a narcissist. When the identity theft was exposed she didn't seem to care at all she still wanted to participate until the last minute when she realised south africans were not gonna just let it go. Now she's set her eyes on the nigerian crown after not succeeding in SA and doesn't consider that there are girls who auditioned and followed due process in the competition only for her to come in last minute under a "special" invite. All of that doesn't matter to her, it's all about her and what she wants. That's a narcissist if you ask me🥂
You can't feel sorry for someone you don't know? That's a bit low. There has been so many movements we have been part of, #Blacklivesmatter #Metoo #AmINext where we never knew the primary victim but we know no human being should experience such a hiccup - therefore we stood up and fought for a better condition. It doesn't matter if you know her or not - she doesn't deserve that kind of a dent when it comes to her citizenship.
And the amounts of votes she is getting from South Africans as a means of trolling Nigerians, because if she wins, they'll say a South African woman won Miss Universe Nigeria 😂😂
Chichi is a very beautiful young woman, I think SAns who are voting for her to win Ms. Universe Nigeria want to see how she will do on an international stage as that would be the case had she won Ms. SA.
@@siphesihleoliphant8734 When they ask: "If you win Miss Universe Nigeria 2024, what will you do for Nigeria?" UZOTHINI??? "Fraudulent IDs for All"? It will end badly.... I am actually afraid 💔
@Siwe_Ngingi The thing about life is unless Chidinma hurt anyone why is she being bullied and mocked her. This girl is not guilty of any crime, yet some sit in the seat of corners and mock her. Hmmh..
Good luck to Chchi🎉. Chidimma will win Miss Nigeria Universe and will place well in Miss Universe in November with bias votes. South Africa has done well before in selecting candidates they always place in the top 20. Brave move by Nigerian organizers because all eyes are now on Nigeria🎉. She is in the right place now, Vote SA🎉
Nigeria showed the world that no beautiful girls fit universe in Nigeria rather collect a south African to gain story yet that crown will come here in south africa she will neva stay in Nigeria her whole life she is been in south africa her child and her husband and mother all in sa
It's funny to me to see South Africa, battled an apartheid not so long ago, now becomes such a racist and xenophobic nation. They did that poor girl very dirty. Shamefull..
What are current citizenship and residency rules for Miss Universe? Chidimma may win MU Nigeria but not being a Nigerian citizen or 6 month resident may disqualify her from competing in MU.
The problem was never about citizenship though, the public would’ve still rejected her simply because the public equate Citizenship with tribes and clans.. whether or not she does it this year or the next, really is inconsequential
I heard that the girls had a vote and were happy to welcome her. If thats true then i think its fair but if not I still think she deserves a chance even of it is for clout. But nyeka needs to win fhis year 😭❤️
I feel like the Miss Universe Nigeria did her dirty,they should have invited her to live in Nigeria for 6 months and more, and let her compete next year, because now the girl is going through it 😢
I think you should watch the interview the Organizers of Miss Universe Nigeria gave on Arise 360. The contestants were said to have come together to support and ask the Organizers to invite Miss Chidinma after she withdrew from the Miss SA pageant.
Most of you bloggers talk without getting the right information Point of correction, the contestants are the ones who invited chidimma to join them so how is that your problem?? We are ready to support her no matter what anybody says is our problem not yours She is representing Nigerians and Nigeria not SA , leave her alone
The contestants have no authority to invite anyone to compete. Furthermore, it is unlikely that all 24 of them are in agreement about whether Chidimma's participation (via invitation) is fair.
@@RinaHendriks Is non of your business Just let her be We are Nigerians and we are ready to support our daughter, so how she is representing Nigeria is our business She is representing Nigeria 🇳🇬 not SA .celebrate your Miss SA and leave chidimma alone What ever decisions we take about chidimma is our business Many of you are not happy about chidimma representing Nigeria
I honestly think this amount of strength is not norma...not kind enough to think about other contenders. It's giving attention seeking against all odds🤞🏽 But it's her life to decide on what to do 💁🏽♀️
@@Chidzy.M no attention seeking just a girl determined to make her mark on the global stage. If she was attention seeking she would have jumped on telecasts and new TV's to gain publicity but remained lay low. Some would have even started a business off all this limelight but she didn't. She just is a resilient girl who doesn't want to stop because of haters but succeed right in their faces
We live in a very diverse country with South Africans whose lineage may stretch all over the world. And that will be reflected in people who represent us. Whether at Miss SA or the Olympics, etc. A year ago there was a contestant who got a lot of xenophobic backlash. But it didn't land because she was South African through and through. With Chidimma, she hardly identifies as South African. Hence, her hasty decision to compete in Nigeria. I personally believe the owners of Miss Universe Nigeria made her a financial offer she couldn't refuse and they probably agreed with her that she won't win.
Not about rushing Rina,it proves what many thought.she is NOT loyal to SA at all especially after all the celebrations etc that was taking place with Nigerians even before the mother's story came out.like u said she should have used the time to clean up this whole mess and prove that she is indeed a true patriot.the fact that she could accept this invitation so easily shows that she doesn't care...moral of the story is,all those who were against her representing us were right.she is NOT about the country who gave her so much,she's only about chidimma.among those who were against her... were people who knew her from 'around town' and even some of those people could say there is nothing South African about her clearly because of the circles she socialised in etc.this is a bad reflection of her character,it shows how fickle she is so we made the right choice.
I 100% agree Tania. And that lie about her mother being Zulu but she has NO Zulu relatives or anyone from Soweto who knows her or her family, even though she supposedly grew up there was very strange. When people started asking too many questions, suddenly her mother is Mozambican ‘with Zulu roots’ and then she decided to completely drop the Zulu and Soweto narrative. Too many lies. It did not look good at all. I can say I was curious about her Zulu heritage because I’m Zulu and I wanted to know her Zulu name since I couldn’t pronounce her Nigerian names as they’re unheard of in South Africa. Again too many lies and stories that didn’t make sense.
@@udokabliss5410 you missed what was said. When people started questioning, she could have gone to prove beyond doubt her identity. She could have countered her celebrating being a finalist by posting celebrations or other activities with South Africans as well. As a Miss SA you promote not only yourself but you advocate for what’s important to the country, so you need to be seen to be RELATABLE and be proud of your culture as well. People did not relate to those pictures. There was nothing SAn there. If she’d gone on to win Miss SA, would she celebrate it as a SAn win or her father’s country’s win? I think she needed an agent to help direct her correctly to change perceptions that had been created. Well, with the mom’s alleged crime, things were made worse. She really needed to lay low, take stock & sort out her citizenship til next year or another year in SA. Her moving straight to compete in Nigeria may have once & for all blocked her chances of competing as a SAn in future as even fewer would support her. Imagine if she’d said “No, I’m born & bred in SA, it’s the only country I know that resonates with me. I will sort out my papers & prove people wrong”. That would prove beyond doubt her loyalty & endear her even more. even to haters.
Well, Miss universe nigeria PR team were very strategic and they are using Chichi to promote their brand and its working coz I had no idea that they even exist. For my girl Chich, I'm not sure if this was a wise move, thought she will lay low a bit. Nonetheless, all the best❤.
@@CMBR_YT So y'all can be happy that y'all succeeded with putting her down?? Nah she is unfazed and soaring higher than ever. She's the most eloquent and prettiest contestant there on the Miss Nigeria stage. She can win it all and represent her father's heritage at Miss Universe. Y'all sad that despite all your attempts to derail this child she's soaring even higher. I hope she wins and all the haters are silenced
Well said. Indeed, my exact sentiments. It just all fells too much, too soon and unnecessarily rushed. A break would have gone an even longer way. But hey…
She could not continue because of fraud allegations connected to her. Her immediately joining miss nigeria is not helping the situation. Who ever is advising her they are messing up things
I think she should’ve taken a step back and fixed her document problem in SA than she should’ve traveled to Nigeria for months or year to learn about the country cause what does she actually know about her village? Her culture in Nigeria ? What will she fight for in Nigeria? In such little time ? So yes for me her accepting this invitation feels forced she could’ve declined and said thank you so much u are amazing but in respect of the candidates that are already competing and in respect of the problem I am currently facing I would love to compete next year and not this year. This would’ve allowed her to explore Nigeria etc But she just accepted without thinking So yes it’s unfair to the other ladies cause chichi has publicity negative or positive She is getting wayyy more votes than the others and we all know why.
When did afrophobic South Africans start worrying about other 24 Nigerian contestants ? Can't you get it ? Chichi has abandoned hateful South Africa for good and chosen her welcoming fatherland . She may end up completing her studies in the prestigious Lagos Law School . South Africa lost big time on this one due to Afrophobia from hell
I wish they invited her to Miss Universe Nigeria 2025 instead but I would not be upset if Chidimma or Nyekachi are the queens this year. Top 2 go to Miss Universe or Miss Supranational.
You’re jumping ship really fast. Why shouldn’t she? The powerful, not merely commentators like you, abandoned her first. I’m glad she is not hanging her head in shame like a tragic opera heroine. I’m glad Chidimma is abandoning the springbok of South Africa and using the eagle of Nigeria to fly.
Y'all sad because she moved on. Y'all didn't want her at Miss SA stating she can't represent Y'all she must go compete at her Miss Nigeria her home. She's now doing that but Y'all still complaining. Let the girl breathe and leave her alone. She gave Y'all the Miss SA y'all wanted and withdrew from your pageant. Let her compete at her father's side in peace
My question to South Africans is Where is the woman who’s identity was stolen? I mean it’s been nearly a month and your unable to find her? She didn’t Come forward either like thanks for finding my documents life is beautiful now WHERE IS SHE? and how was chichi able to leave the country with fake documents? if she’s under a whole investigation for her mom stealing documents and giving her a fake citizenship How is she leaving the country? Flying out to Nigeria? This story doesn’t make sense!!!!!!! why is home affairs silent now? Why isn’t SA twitter finding that poor lady they alll felt so sorry for ? Her and her poor child? Who should be chichi’s age so he or she should be on social media if not they would’ve seen it on tv or on news papers? Heard it On the radio ? Something is fishy! I
So you're trying to tell me that someone that's born and brought up in S.A and her parents based in S.A is not a citizen of south Africa, south Africans are just xenophobic and for Nigeria to invite her for miss Nigeria universe is none of your business so leave the girl alone
You are right just because U are born here doesn't make U a citizen...some ppl visit the country pregnant as tourists it's a responsibility of the gov to make sure our health department assist everyone in the country maybe by giving birth but after that you go back to your country and register your child based on the information you obtained from the hospital after giving birth
You had to lie and go through circles about how they targeted other people. No, they didn't. There were literally YT videos about Chidimma's legitimacy specifically because she is Nigerian. Quit the crap.
She is half nigerian as she is south African mozambican her win will be ours a south African we hope and pray for her to win after all nigerian has proved they don't have beautiful girls had to collect a south African girl who neva step a foot in Nigeria to collect the crown 😂😂😂😂
What you are saying is your personal opinion because you are not getting it, do you? Easy said than done until you wear the same shoes. I don't think you have faced rejection in your life so forget it, life will definitely move on after all the bruhaha. You look Philippine my dear 😅😅
You are just spewing utter nonsense. This is more than you think. So you are the one that will put her on subsequent miss South Africa.?Nigeria has always been teaching South Africa diplomatic sense for ages. Chidinma is a strong girl and has taken the absolute right step. Just go and take a nap 😅
Lol I LOVE your accent. I am 100% born and raised in Tampa, FL and when people first meet me they often say where are you “from” and I’m like Florida and they’re like no no. Well, my parents are from Jamaica…Yeah, yeah! That’s it!😃 Unfortunately, when people think of Miss “title” they think this person was raised from the soil of the ground of said city/country/state. Aside from whatever rules each pageant has set for their own pageant, I don’t think people outside of pageantry realize that people hop around all the time especially in Miss USA/Miss America, girls “state hop” all the time.
U people should allow this girl to rest,stop criticize her whether is the right time for her to accept the invitation or not,all we need to do is to pray her to win, please stop been nervous.
I HOPE CHIDIMA WINS MISS NIGERIA !!!! GIRL THEN GO ON AND TAKE IT TO THE MISS UNIVERSE COMPETITION !!! WITH ALL THE PUBLICITY SHE WILL BE WELL ON HER WAY TO MAKING IT TO THE TOP 20 !!! SO MUCH SPOTLIGHT WILL BE ON HER AND HER RESPONSE TO THE CONTROVERSY SURROUNDING XENOPHOBIA AND HER CITIZENSHIP CONTROVERSY
From your lips to god’s ears. Her story is also relatable in this part of the world. No one is “illegal”. I am sure she would be in the finals if she represented Nigeria or got sponsored by an organization like the Independent Olympians at the Olympic Games.
@@NoDnaJustRsa That said, the issue of citizenship has always been universal !!!! Blacks were taken as slaves to the New World and forcibly had their names changed to that of their slave masters and forcibly given citizenship !!! It is only for a court to decide whether or not Chidimma is rightly a South African citizen !!! In Britain where I currently reside there have been plenty of cases where citizenship was gained by a minor as a result of an immigration violation or because of parents committing fraud, but nevertheless the courts here have ruled in some circumstances that because the fraud happened a long time that the government cannot deprive a person of his or her British Citizenship.In the USA there is a statute of limitation where the government would not even bother to challenge but confirms one citizenship because the fraud happened so long ago !!! Therefore it will be interesting to hear what the South African courts have to say about this case but as of now Chiddima is a South African national unless officially deprived of her citizenship by the government of South Africa
Chichi is giving Narcissistic vibes. Only she cares about is the prize and fame. She jumped to the offer without considering the feelings of other Miss Universe contestants. 🙄 🙄 I agree with you Rina she should have waited atleast for 2025 pageant to contest not this year.
If Chidima's mum had a South African heritage, there was no need for her to steal the citizenship documents for her daughter. Some of the Nigerians are very disciplined, but Chidima and her parents are definitely not among those people.
As long as Miss Nigeria 2024 is Nyekachi I'm happy. She deserves to represent them at Miss Universe stage
I'm going for chidinma, simple
Thanks for that.
I love chi chi however this year is for Nyekachi 👑
Nyekachi is not afraid of competition. I believe in my queens craft. We are getting miss Universe crown this year.
@@chukwuariel5486chidinma is winning it
May the best contestant win.
As a South African, who are you to dictate who should represent Nigeria though. Chichi is well avast with the Igbo culture, I mean y'all even saw the video of the finalst celebration. The organization should decide and the Nigerian fans who have welcomed her with open hands. Unlike some South Africans.
She's now a Nigerian and we Nigerians welcomed her with all our heart,so let her breath

@@manieregoedsouth africans don’t want her to represent them so do u expect her to give up on her dream while there is still a possibility for her to be on MU stage?
@@bxnjaminc3387her mom is being investigated for fraud. It’s very serious. If anything, Chidimma’s life has been negatively impacted. Instead of taking a moment to deal with her personal matters privately, she was completely unbothered. She continued to post on social media. She later jumped at the opportunity to join Miss Universe Nigeria, a decision which could also have a grave impact on her being naturalised in SA if she chooses to do so. Also, Chidimma is a mother, who is looking after her child while all this is happening?
@@hyunbinsdimple5803 she doesn't care ,she want fame, and she is desparate
People stepped on her toes and made her feel unworthy to live by South Africans. I really think Chichi shouldn't be told what to do by south Africans because of the way she was treated.
Tell her to give us back the id she stole....by law she is not a Mzansi child
@@AmandaMlambo-dl5qu That didn't change the fact that you all treated her so badly. After all, this could have been resolved amicably. You lot bullied her and that isn't okay.
@@Malleh_omar She is using the eagle of Nigeria to fly. This is causing a lot of consternation among Xenophobic South Africans who were trying to harness the wind.

@@Malleh_omar if she had worn in SA, they would have carried out xenophobia on all Nigerians , Zimbabwe and and all Africans. They would have looting shops belonging to African foreigners
It’s evident they’re using her story for publicity. The national director even had an interview where he lied on record saying the home affairs case has been dropped and many other inaccuracies. I totally agree she should have sat this year out to heal and sort out her citizenship issues.
I’m also annoyed at my fellow South Africans that are now aggressively voting for Chichi when they’ve never given the same energy for past “SAn” queens that needed votes at MU or MS 😒
Lied? If he lied why has your home affairs not brought any evidence yet? That speaks volumes
@@stevenwilliams3015Well there's this word "Investigation" check it on the dictionary so thats why evidence hasn't been released yet because people need to be arrested which includes Home Affairs employees. This case is not the only case so have patience what you want will come
@@otsilemakinta9157 there is the word "fact" If your home affairs were an unbiased body, they wouldn't have said anything until they are 100% sure. You don't have evidence, yet you proclaim something. Xenophobic government
@@stevenwilliams3015 the case is ongoing according to SA law officials
@@supreme9801Oh, Ongoing? So there has been no pure evidence yet, but you guys have already ran with it, used it to taunt that young girl everywhere. Shows you guys hate her, whether with fraudulent documents or not. We are not fools. We just keep watching you South Africans. Time shall tell
I am beyond elated she accepted the invitation to compete🔥❤. She's the living proof that Go Where Your Presence Is Welcomed. South Africans said she needs to go represent Nigeria, she can't represent SA. Now , ironically, that's what is likely going to happen they are now complaining, stating she should have waited. The same dictatorship happened with Lali and she wouldn't have made it to where she is today had she not went to Israel despite people forcing to "Wait". Her Miss Universe journey equipped her for her Miss Supra win. When you want a dream you stop at nothing to achieve it and that's what Chichi is doing. The comments on her being attention seeking are hilarious and ironical. If she was attention seeking as y'all assert, she would have used the international spotlight she garnered to her advantage. I mean even BBC covered her story. She would have jumped on every podcast, news shows and even used this as a launching pad to start a business. But she remained on the lay low even when people said untrue stuff about her and a man impersonated her father she just clarified on her social media accounts that's not her dad only. One thing about haters is that they hate it when your doing better in life despite their attempts to break you. Chidimma is a textbook definition of the word "Resilience". She's strong and unfazed. As far as fairity goes the contestants stated they invited her to join. One was even live on ig and fans asked her. So she's got the support of the girls and of course they will be the 1 or 2 that are against it but the majority rules. She's by far the prettiest at Miss Nigeria followed by Nyekachi. She's by far the most eloquent in terms of speech. So the likelihood of representing Nigeria is high. The Nyekachi fans will take a chill pill. I mean she couldn't pull it off in one of the easiest years ever she competed in. So Chici definitely got this in the bag. I pray she continues to remain unfazed and shows that when God says Yes nobody can say no!! God will continue to elevate her and I pray she remains a beautiful soul as she is now ❤
Rather than a consolation prize it could be a "let me show these bishes what I can do!"😂
Also: they want the techniques and skills she has learnt from the powerful Miss South Africa
"Powerful"? Really??? 😂😂😂
Why not? Most people recognize and want talented individuals. It’s only Xenophobic South Africans who seem to think otherwise.
Go and celebrate your deaf winner 😂

It's a shame because she's being asked by the interviewers in every single interview...

But don't you think the Miss Universe Nigeria saw her as a strong contender like the 24 finalists?
Touché. I could see very few of Niegria's contestants that rival her beautiful face. Her story in a country like Mexico would also be very compelling.
@iancaldeian Mia Le Roux has a face only a mother can love and yet most of you Europeans chose her. So don’t pretend like the Nigerian contestants aren’t overall better looking than the pale skinned annorexic Le Roux. And if Chidinma is so beautiful why didn’t you Europeans who run Miss SA choose her? Oh yea cos you wanted your kind to be the face of beauty in SA. mxm
She is gorgeous 💯
Every girl is a strong contender so it is still unfair
I’m glad Chidimma accepted the invitation. She was not just a good competitor, she was great. Here is a woman who was born and grew up in South Africa. There is no reason she should give up all her preparation for the South African pageant and her hopes and aspirations, and wait another year to compete. Why should she defer her life? She was clearly a frontrunner and should not be held accountable for her mother’s “sins”, and her desire to better her life in another region of Africa. Imagine being forced to commit an illegal act to secure a better life on a continent where your ancestors roamed freely for thousands of years. The age-old question is why should anybody be held accountable for stealing a loaf of bread to feed her children. South Africa’s behavior feels rather petty, whereas Nigeria’s move makes them look magnanimous. Keep in mind that Chidimma's only connection to Nigeria is through her father. Her story is relatable to modern times and the Mexican population should definitely be able to empathize with it. This is a David and Goliath story. I hope she wins Nigeria and then goes on to win Miss Universe. Talent and skills should not be overlooked and then the misbehavior be justified. She went through enough harassment. I hope she has the last laugh.
In other news, South Africans seem to travel to greener pastures - surprise, surprise, and take their racism and xenophobia with them. Exhibit A: th-cam.com/video/5wvj1kyxl8k/w-d-xo.html

"why would you hold accountable someone who stole a loaf of bread to feed her children?" 😂😂😂 is that how your grandparents in 🇳🇬 raised you? It all make sense why you guys don't see the wrong commited by Chidima parents. Unfortunately, SA🇿🇦 was raised differently as our grandparebts fought for this country. So we will fight for it again and again to save it from vultures and opportunist like 🇳🇬.
@@homemail9653 Are you suggesting that the psychological and financial investment that she made is not as valuable as those of any other contestants anywhere else? She is not the one who created this mess. It was the ignorant xenophobic people of South Africa who tried to cage an eagle. Whatever became of that “rainbow nation” mantra? Furthermore, if this is what an opportunist looks like then mark every ambitious go-getter as an opportunist. Judges would not select a contestant If they did not think she had the intelligence and qualities to represent them internationally. Don’t blame Nigeria for recognizing excellence when they see it despite national origin. Chidimma is not curling up in a corner somewhere and waiting for other people to tell her how she should live. She is taking the springbok by the horns and subduing it while harnessing the wings of the Black Crowned Crane to soar to the heavens. Do not be mad because she is ambitious.
This is amazing🔥🔥!!!
Nyekashi will win she deserve it how many years she is working on it
But not irrational to her😂. She was invited and she accepted. So why are you people so pained about it. Wrong or right move, she os a Nigerian peroid and has the right to contex anytime if she feels capable. She doesn't even need your SA anymore 😂😂😂
Since she's Nigerian.....why did she Choose Miss South Africa first?
💯😂
Rina Hendricks, don't worry about that, she is a Nigerian, even though Nigeria has selected 24 girls one can drop for her, we Nigerian love our own. We are not a slavery country like South Africa.
But its definitely difficult because fraud was committed from the beginning

In ALL competitions the participants are supposed to feel a sense of FAIRNESS & EQUAL OPPORTUNITY.
The Miss Universe Nigeria organization, whether true or not, is sending a message that they have selected Chidinma as their representative.
Whether she wins Miss Universe Nigeria or not, she has put her South Africa citizenship process at risk.
Very poorly advised.
It Is not your business.
@@chisomnzeh6249 I know it’s not my business, because if it was, I would have advised differently.

She was invited by Miss Nigeria contestant
What's your business about that,face your life
What is your business about other contestants. Did they complain to you😮
Hopefully this blows over soon so we can focus on how awesome and inspirational our Miss SA 2024 Mia is. But good luck to Chidimma, all the best to her. I don’t think she’s gonna lose Miss Nigeria Universe. Rina you definitely have an Afrikaans accent. A soft one though 😅
they are clearly doing this for clout and I dont like it at all. I also dont like that Chichi is going along with it. she is just proving all her bullies right. it's going to be so messy. AND YES Rina I think it would have made sense for her to wait and try again next year with an advocacy that reflects what happened to her this year.
Rina, I live in China, and you could "pass for Chinese" with the right makeup. You are also quite fair-skinned which is a beauty goal in China. So not only a Chinese but a BEAUTIFUL Chinese. 🎉❤
So interesting! I have never considered that I might have asian features...
@@RinaHendriks It's the eyes. 🌹
You clearly have Asian features ,trace your roots
I agree
Look I know she was a baby and might not have known anything about what her mother did. However her accepting this offer is insensitive to the victims of all this, it seems egotistic and rushed. You're right, she should have taken some time to sort everything out, apologize and compete again, that would show leadership and accountability on her part
So that you pull her down and have a year to laugh at her . Chichi has left hateful Afrophobic South Africa for good . She may just complete her law degree in Nigeria
She really needs to sort out her citizenship status. What are the legal requirements to join miss Nigeria universe? How is she going to leave SA while under investigation?
I think she is mentally ill this Chidimna. Probably going through a manic episode triggered by what she went through recently.
Oh wow, now we have a psychiatrist here. I’d like to think that her ego isn’t as fragile as some of the Xenophobic people on the internet. Our mothers and daughters are much stronger than this. th-cam.com/video/Wd-fKhO4joQ/w-d-xo.html
Hi Rina, just a few things I want to point out.
1. The accusation against Chidimma's mother is still being investigated, so please, can y'all stop giving the impression that she has been convicted of the crime. South Africans already felt insecure about having Chidimma stand on that stage, and so they leashed out their xenophobic attacks at her....even before the identity theft issues came up, which I still believe is a hoax.
2. You may want to do more research before coming out to share your sentiments about the Miss Universe Nigeria finalists. The girls actually signed a petition requesting that Chidimma comes home and joins them in the final competition. This clearly shows the spirit of healthy competition amongst the girls, and should be applauded!. Some random people out there feel like Chichi's homecoming would displace these other girls, but that is their opinion....which they have every right to have, but, it just doesn't matter.
3. I don't think that the invitation sent out to Chidimma was meant to be her consolation prize. This girl has experienced the height of bitterness from people she called home, I am sure that her mental health at this moment would be quite shaky. The sense of belonging and love she would experience by participating with her true home girls would go a long way in helping her recover.
She has practised well during her Miss SA pageant day, and clinched a spot in the finale, letting her come home and do her thing with the Miss Universe Nigeria finalists seems okay to me, after all, we are on the lookout for the best woman to represent Nigeria out there.
The best thing anyone could do for ChiChi at this point is to show her love, or, better still, just let her breathe!
Thank you. I think these guys want her to go hang herself. Absolutely disgusting
Nice contribution there🎉. They want to see her suffer but girl is flying. Such a resilient spirit!
Rina doesn't want her to be bullied more than she's being bullied rn, and for the record,more evidence has been uncovered about her mom's fraudulent doings!
@lesedi3040 If you are in dire need of someone to pick on, why not go after her mother, and leave the girl be.
You might also want to wait till the mum is actually CONVICTED of those crimes.
This was never really about the alleged crime, your people were just too insecure and uncomfortable with having a girl of Nigerian descent grace their stage.
If/when you travel to one of the civilised western countries, I hope you don't ever have to accuse anyone of racism, learn to swallow that bitter pill now.
Why does there need to be a conviction for us to know what she did ? It seems simple to me. Quality sources have confirmed it eg Home Affairs which investigated the situation, a government establishment. There are statements from the lady who had their identity stolen, a legitimate South African. Who btw has never seen or met Chiddima yet is recognized by the state as Chiddimas mother. We have no idea if this mess is even going to trial. So the local drug dealer is not dealing drugs because he hasn't been convicted? Yet the are people in the streets high AF. Where do they get these wonder drugs?😂 .... and no one is picking on Chiddima. There are South Africans who are supporting and voting for her as we speak. We wish her well honestly. As Miss Nigeria because that is what she is. That is her heritage. There is nothing wrong with South African people saying that they want to be represented by a South African. It's called Miss Sa for a reason and it's even in the rules. She wasn't supposed to enter in the first place. There wouldn't of been backlash if she didn't break the rules by entering and her mother by fruading our constitution. Where does that even happen? I mean hell would freeze over if an undocumented Mexican tried to enter Miss America. Which would be the case anywhere else. Which is the case here. She isn't even the only contestant to face scrutiny. It's just that her story didn't check out. Stop adding grey to something that is black and white. You are only drawn to this narrative because for some reason is it suits your agenda to think of South Africans as xenophobes. Every time South African people stand up for South Africa, they are labeled xenophobes. I honestly don't get why it is so offensive for South African people to say that they want a South African as Miss Sa. And this is actually the most neutral video I have seen from either side.
Chidimma was in my final 5 but not the winner. She should clear up her citizen status and come back next year. We had a few miss SA' s who only won the second time around. Not fair towards the gorgeous Miss Universe Nigeria Pageant semi-finalists already chosen. I wished her the very best.
Mia Is a fantastic winner and Im Looking forward to the magic she is going to bring as our Miss SA 2024.
I stumbled upon your channel and like it very much.
I am crossing my fingers and toes for Mia to win Miss Universe 😊😊
I love your video, you were completely neutral and took no sides. Well done 😊😊
That's Nigerian Problem not yours
You are entitled to your opinion but Nigeria will not hesitate to rescue any Nigerian that is oppressed in any part of the world.
Keep your behind in Nigeria and stop japparing
It speaks volumes that she ACCEPTED for 2024 and didn't think about the other MUN contestants... The girl just wants to be famous - AT ALL COSTS 😂 She doesn't care about feelings 🤣🤣
I actually respect her for that.
At first, I thought this was a criticism but realized it was a backhanded compliment. I really want her to succeed. South Africa went low and petty and Nigeria showed them how to be highminded and show true Christian charity.
This girl is only proving that she is after fame and fortune. If she was proudly South African she would have said; "I am sorry but I will wait for the outcome and if my identity was illegally achieved I will apoligise profusely and enter the Miss South African competition again. But, if she was married before and have a child I will then be against her 100%. Miss South Africa should be for young or previously un married girls. I do not evenbelieve that men that believe that they are woman should enter it even if they can. Miss South Africa should be for a woman. A previously unmarried woman and I also believe due tto our problem with teenage pregnancy, be a woman who never had sex before. I do not give damn about the woke world we are living in. Values should return to this woke world we are living in and South Africa is part of the countries who has thrown those morals of the past away to be seen as part of the woke damn world view today.
@@manieregoedTrue about SA values. Ubuntu runs through our blood across races. This behaviour is not 'make sure'.

Rina stop being a hater . You sound jelous and envious. Chidima is stunning and I wish her stardom in her career
You totally missed what Rina was saying. Rina’s always supported her. She just wanted her to lay low for THIS YEAR, sort her SA papers out & gather herself. Rina’s worried that people may use her for the publicity that comes with her currently. It may not benefit her personally as she may continue to be bullied by those who don’t want her there.
She is not hating her, she is literally saying she liked her. Nothing negative
She's literally a supporter 😭
Chidimma should have waited to enter next year to join like any ordinary girl in Nigeria. her direct entry to be finalists is unfair to Nigerians contestants that went through the entire process to be finalist.
What you don't understand is the fact that those 30 top Nigerian ladies requested and partitioned Miss Universe Nigeria to invite Chidimma as an exceptional case. Whether she wins it or not, this saved her life. She couldn't sleep for days following horrible threats and attacks by black South Africans. Would you survive that animosity ambience, a 23 years black lady VS the entire South Africa! She needed a strong support to neutralize the situation. We thank Miss Universe Nigeria and the ladies for extending their hand to save a life. It is only in South Africa were you know Ubuntu theoretically but in Nigerians they practice Ubuntu. Nigerians are not selfish and hence would do whatever it takes to save a human life as a matter of priority. Miss Universe Nigeria is a benchmark to be followed worldwide!
She is a crown chaser, after all. 😅
This Chidimma girl is possibly a narcissist. When the identity theft was exposed she didn't seem to care at all she still wanted to participate until the last minute when she realised south africans were not gonna just let it go. Now she's set her eyes on the nigerian crown after not succeeding in SA and doesn't consider that there are girls who auditioned and followed due process in the competition only for her to come in last minute under a "special" invite. All of that doesn't matter to her, it's all about her and what she wants. That's a narcissist if you ask me🥂
You can't feel sorry for someone you don't know? That's a bit low. There has been so many movements we have been part of, #Blacklivesmatter #Metoo #AmINext where we never knew the primary victim but we know no human being should experience such a hiccup - therefore we stood up and fought for a better condition. It doesn't matter if you know her or not - she doesn't deserve that kind of a dent when it comes to her citizenship.
I have empathy - but I cannot put a name or face to that empathy and therefore how much I can elaborate on it is limited.
Maybe not Chinese per say, but Asian🤔, it's mostly the eyes I think. You look absolutely beautiful & I love love love your videos❤❤❤

Nigeria showed the world that no beautiful girls fit universe in Nigeria rather collect a south African to gain story yet that crown will come here in south africa she will neva stay in Nigeria her whole life she is been in south africa her child and her husband and mother all in sa
I feel like the media should chill with the Chidimma matter,let Mia shine.
It's funny to me to see South Africa, battled an apartheid not so long ago, now becomes such a racist and xenophobic nation. They did that poor girl very dirty. Shamefull..
Xenophobia your behind
@@nickyngwana You still colonized anyway and you don't even realize it
What are current citizenship and residency rules for Miss Universe? Chidimma may win MU Nigeria but not being a Nigerian citizen or 6 month resident may disqualify her from competing in MU.
Thank you for all the updates! Jy is awesome.
I am watching all the way from the Netherlands 😊
The problem was never about citizenship though, the public would’ve still rejected her simply because the public equate Citizenship with tribes and clans.. whether or not she does it this year or the next, really is inconsequential
Wasn't the first and last girl to compete in miss sa last year top 5 mellisa was half Ugandan,,, this year top 3 onalenna is half congolesse
This Chidima movie 🎬 is not over, wait and see.
I heard that the girls had a vote and were happy to welcome her. If thats true then i think its fair but if not I still think she deserves a chance even of it is for clout. But nyeka needs to win fhis year 😭❤️
I feel like the Miss Universe Nigeria did her dirty,they should have invited her to live in Nigeria for 6 months and more, and let her compete next year, because now the girl is going through it 😢
I think you should watch the interview the Organizers of Miss Universe Nigeria gave on Arise 360.
The contestants were said to have come together to support and ask the Organizers to invite Miss Chidinma after she withdrew from the Miss SA pageant.
I feel like they won't allow her back into the country After she leaves for Miss Nigeria 😢
Most of you bloggers talk without getting the right information
Point of correction, the contestants are the ones who invited chidimma to join them so how is that your problem??
We are ready to support her no matter what anybody says is our problem not yours
She is representing Nigerians and Nigeria not SA , leave her alone
The contestants have no authority to invite anyone to compete. Furthermore, it is unlikely that all 24 of them are in agreement about whether Chidimma's participation (via invitation) is fair.
@@RinaHendriks
Is non of your business
Just let her be
We are Nigerians and we are ready to support our daughter, so how she is representing Nigeria is our business
She is representing Nigeria 🇳🇬 not SA .celebrate your Miss SA and leave chidimma alone
What ever decisions we take about chidimma is our business
Many of you are not happy about chidimma representing Nigeria
@@RinaHendriks Well majority of the girls did and the owners did so swallow the chill pill. Majority rules!!
@@ruthydaniels2565 who are you to tell her not to talk about the fraudster. Chill and sit down Mumu.
@@RinaHendriks face your SA carrier, and leave the people of Nigeria to their faretale
Never knew you were a Namibian TH-camr. Always watched you.. from Ohio and also a subie
I honestly think this amount of strength is not norma...not kind enough to think about other contenders. It's giving attention seeking against all odds🤞🏽
But it's her life to decide on what to do 💁🏽♀️
@@Chidzy.M no attention seeking just a girl determined to make her mark on the global stage. If she was attention seeking she would have jumped on telecasts and new TV's to gain publicity but remained lay low. Some would have even started a business off all this limelight but she didn't. She just is a resilient girl who doesn't want to stop because of haters but succeed right in their faces
@@samdubazane3979 haters? Lol you have so much to say hey.
We live in a very diverse country with South Africans whose lineage may stretch all over the world. And that will be reflected in people who represent us. Whether at Miss SA or the Olympics, etc. A year ago there was a contestant who got a lot of xenophobic backlash. But it didn't land because she was South African through and through.
With Chidimma, she hardly identifies as South African. Hence, her hasty decision to compete in Nigeria. I personally believe the owners of Miss Universe Nigeria made her a financial offer she couldn't refuse and they probably agreed with her that she won't win.
Not about rushing Rina,it proves what many thought.she is NOT loyal to SA at all especially after all the celebrations etc that was taking place with Nigerians even before the mother's story came out.like u said she should have used the time to clean up this whole mess and prove that she is indeed a true patriot.the fact that she could accept this invitation so easily shows that she doesn't care...moral of the story is,all those who were against her representing us were right.she is NOT about the country who gave her so much,she's only about chidimma.among those who were against her... were people who knew her from 'around town' and even some of those people could say there is nothing South African about her clearly because of the circles she socialised in etc.this is a bad reflection of her character,it shows how fickle she is so we made the right choice.
I 100% agree Tania. And that lie about her mother being Zulu but she has NO Zulu relatives or anyone from Soweto who knows her or her family, even though she supposedly grew up there was very strange. When people started asking too many questions, suddenly her mother is Mozambican ‘with Zulu roots’ and then she decided to completely drop the Zulu and Soweto narrative. Too many lies. It did not look good at all. I can say I was curious about her Zulu heritage because I’m Zulu and I wanted to know her Zulu name since I couldn’t pronounce her Nigerian names as they’re unheard of in South Africa. Again too many lies and stories that didn’t make sense.
Did u just say loyal?after all the humiliations u and ur so called country gave to her,u people are so wicked
@@udokabliss5410 you missed what was said. When people started questioning, she could have gone to prove beyond doubt her identity. She could have countered her celebrating being a finalist by posting celebrations or other activities with South Africans as well. As a Miss SA you promote not only yourself but you advocate for what’s important to the country, so you need to be seen to be RELATABLE and be proud of your culture as well. People did not relate to those pictures. There was nothing SAn there. If she’d gone on to win Miss SA, would she celebrate it as a SAn win or her father’s country’s win? I think she needed an agent to help direct her correctly to change perceptions that had been created. Well, with the mom’s alleged crime, things were made worse. She really needed to lay low, take stock & sort out her citizenship til next year or another year in SA. Her moving straight to compete in Nigeria may have once & for all blocked her chances of competing as a SAn in future as even fewer would support her. Imagine if she’d said “No, I’m born & bred in SA, it’s the only country I know that resonates with me. I will sort out my papers & prove people wrong”. That would prove beyond doubt her loyalty & endear her even more. even to haters.
Well, Miss universe nigeria PR team were very strategic and they are using Chichi to promote their brand and its working coz I had no idea that they even exist. For my girl Chich, I'm not sure if this was a wise move, thought she will lay low a bit. Nonetheless, all the best❤.
She should've waited till next year
@@CMBR_YT So y'all can be happy that y'all succeeded with putting her down?? Nah she is unfazed and soaring higher than ever. She's the most eloquent and prettiest contestant there on the Miss Nigeria stage. She can win it all and represent her father's heritage at Miss Universe. Y'all sad that despite all your attempts to derail this child she's soaring even higher. I hope she wins and all the haters are silenced
Leave her alone! Leave Chidinma alone! We Nigerians are very glad she accepted, so what's your business??
She is our south african girl,,, she will bring that crown home
Well said.
Indeed, my exact sentiments.
It just all fells too much, too soon and unnecessarily rushed.
A break would have gone an even longer way.
But hey…
I recently found your videos and I am OBSESSED 🥰🥰 Love your content ❤🇿🇦
💯 agree with you, she should have not went to Miss Universe Nigeria.
What's your problem again? Why are you stalking her? These south Africans are bittered that she's moved on. Continue your cry
She should have declined
South African rejected her, Nigeria did the right thing
10k Rina!You made it 😎🤟
If her mother is Zulu, ask her ;"What is an elbow " in Zulu 🤣🤣🤣
Does your european queen Le Roux know the answer?
She is a narcissist. Simple but good luck to her
She could not continue because of fraud allegations connected to her. Her immediately joining miss nigeria is not helping the situation. Who ever is advising her they are messing up things
Why should shx lag low?
Life goes on. Let her move on.
She is not welcomed in SA it seems no matter what she dies. Its a stigma
Hater 101...LETS GO CHIDIMA
I think she should’ve taken a step back and fixed her document problem in SA than she should’ve traveled to Nigeria for months or year to learn about the country cause what does she actually know about her village? Her culture in Nigeria ?
What will she fight for in Nigeria? In such little time ?
So yes for me her accepting this invitation feels forced she could’ve declined and said thank you so much u are amazing but in respect of the candidates that are already competing and in respect of the problem I am currently facing I would love to compete next year and not this year.
This would’ve allowed her to explore Nigeria etc
But she just accepted without thinking
So yes it’s unfair to the other ladies cause chichi has publicity negative or positive
She is getting wayyy more votes than the others and we all know why.
When did afrophobic South Africans start worrying about other 24 Nigerian contestants ? Can't you get it ? Chichi has abandoned hateful South Africa for good and chosen her welcoming fatherland . She may end up completing her studies in the prestigious Lagos Law School . South Africa lost big time on this one due to Afrophobia from hell
I vote for Joy Omanibe to take Miss Universe Nigeria 7:08
I agree with you.
Rina, what accent does Demi Leigh Nel Peters speak? Her accent is different from how you and Rolene Strauss speak.
I wish they invited her to Miss Universe Nigeria 2025 instead but I would not be upset if Chidimma or Nyekachi are the queens this year. Top 2 go to Miss Universe or Miss Supranational.
Thank for the information video.... just subscribed ❤❤❤
I can never defend Chidimma anymore, girl has made a wrong move!!!!! And we can’t defend her anymore.
You’re jumping ship really fast. Why shouldn’t she? The powerful, not merely commentators like you, abandoned her first. I’m glad she is not hanging her head in shame like a tragic opera heroine. I’m glad Chidimma is abandoning the springbok of South Africa and using the eagle of Nigeria to fly.
Y'all sad because she moved on. Y'all didn't want her at Miss SA stating she can't represent Y'all she must go compete at her Miss Nigeria her home. She's now doing that but Y'all still complaining. Let the girl breathe and leave her alone. She gave Y'all the Miss SA y'all wanted and withdrew from your pageant. Let her compete at her father's side in peace
@@samdubazane3979We’re not complaining, we’re voting for her. Hope you are too ❤
Go and throw your support into pacific ocean
@@ganiyuobagunlu5802Keep your nyash in taraba😂
YOU GO GIRL CHI CHI
My question to South Africans is
Where is the woman who’s identity was stolen? I mean it’s been nearly a month and your unable to find her? She didn’t Come forward either like thanks for finding my documents life is beautiful now WHERE IS SHE?
and how was chichi able to leave the country with fake documents?
if she’s under a whole investigation for her mom stealing documents and giving her a fake citizenship How is she leaving the country? Flying out to Nigeria?
This story doesn’t make sense!!!!!!!
why is home affairs silent now?
Why isn’t SA twitter finding that poor lady they alll felt so sorry for ? Her and her poor child? Who should be chichi’s age so he or she should be on social media if not they would’ve seen it on tv or on news papers? Heard it On the radio ?
Something is fishy! I
You're so beautiful ❤️
That is Tru Rina nigerian org is using chidimma
I got here first😂
🎉🎉🎉😂😂
So you're trying to tell me that someone that's born and brought up in S.A and her parents based in S.A is not a citizen of south Africa, south Africans are just xenophobic and for Nigeria to invite her for miss Nigeria universe is none of your business so leave the girl alone
Rules and regulations....something you know nothing about
You are right just because U are born here doesn't make U a citizen...some ppl visit the country pregnant as tourists it's a responsibility of the gov to make sure our health department assist everyone in the country maybe by giving birth but after that you go back to your country and register your child based on the information you obtained from the hospital after giving birth
@otsilemakinta9157 They are so proud of their lack of regard for the rule of law. They broadcast it with such a profound lack of shame.
You had to lie and go through circles about how they targeted other people. No, they didn't. There were literally YT videos about Chidimma's legitimacy specifically because she is Nigerian. Quit the crap.
She is half nigerian as she is south African mozambican her win will be ours a south African we hope and pray for her to win after all nigerian has proved they don't have beautiful girls had to collect a south African girl who neva step a foot in Nigeria to collect the crown 😂😂😂😂
What you are saying is your personal opinion because you are not getting it, do you? Easy said than done until you wear the same shoes. I don't think you have faced rejection in your life so forget it, life will definitely move on after all the bruhaha. You look Philippine my dear 😅😅
You are very good, your explanation of this whole Chidima saga is hilarious
That's our gal Chichi...🤗🤗🤗
Bring it home 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦
#NoDNAJustRSA 💪😎
You are just spewing utter nonsense. This is more than you think. So you are the one that will put her on subsequent miss South Africa.?Nigeria has always been teaching South Africa diplomatic sense for ages.
Chidinma is a strong girl and has taken the absolute right step.
Just go and take a nap 😅
Delusional
You are talking rubbish and bitter
No she’s stating facts, choke on it
Lol I LOVE your accent. I am 100% born and raised in Tampa, FL and when people first meet me they often say where are you “from” and I’m like Florida and they’re like no no. Well, my parents are from Jamaica…Yeah, yeah! That’s it!😃
Unfortunately, when people think of Miss “title” they think this person was raised from the soil of the ground of said city/country/state. Aside from whatever rules each pageant has set for their own pageant, I don’t think people outside of pageantry realize that people hop around all the time especially in Miss USA/Miss America, girls “state hop” all the time.
U people should allow this girl to rest,stop criticize her whether is the right time for her to accept the invitation or not,all we need to do is to pray her to win, please stop been nervous.
Honey where you from ?
Born in Krugersdorp, South Africa. Moved to Namibia when I was 14 due to being adopted by Namibians.
You look like Asian you really gorgeous.
You actially look chinese or asian 😊
I HOPE CHIDIMA WINS MISS NIGERIA !!!! GIRL THEN GO ON AND TAKE IT TO THE MISS UNIVERSE COMPETITION !!! WITH ALL THE PUBLICITY SHE WILL BE WELL ON HER WAY TO MAKING IT TO THE TOP 20 !!! SO MUCH SPOTLIGHT WILL BE ON HER AND HER RESPONSE TO THE CONTROVERSY SURROUNDING XENOPHOBIA AND HER CITIZENSHIP CONTROVERSY
From your lips to god’s ears. Her story is also relatable in this part of the world. No one is “illegal”. I am sure she would be in the finals if she represented Nigeria or got sponsored by an organization like the Independent Olympians at the Olympic Games.
@@InezDowns-z5y she will bring it home 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦
She should also encourage women not to be criminals that ruin other people's lives with identity theft.
@@NoDnaJustRsa That said, the issue of citizenship has always been universal !!!! Blacks were taken as slaves to the New World and forcibly had their names changed to that of their slave masters and forcibly given citizenship !!! It is only for a court to decide whether or not Chidimma is rightly a South African citizen !!! In Britain where I currently reside there have been plenty of cases where citizenship was gained by a minor as a result of an immigration violation or because of parents committing fraud, but nevertheless the courts here have ruled in some circumstances that because the fraud happened a long time that the government cannot deprive a person of his or her British Citizenship.In the USA there is a statute of limitation where the government would not even bother to challenge but confirms one citizenship because the fraud happened so long ago !!! Therefore it will be interesting to hear what the South African courts have to say about this case but as of now Chiddima is a South African national unless officially deprived of her citizenship by the government of South Africa
Chichi is giving Narcissistic vibes. Only she cares about is the prize and fame. She jumped to the offer without considering the feelings of other Miss Universe contestants. 🙄 🙄 I agree with you Rina she should have waited atleast for 2025 pageant to contest not this year.
Chidimma is naive and arrogant with zero backbone, it’s really unfair for the other contestants.
