There are news articles of late (like https://dailypost.ng/2024/08/31/chidimma-adetshina-wins-beauty-pageant-in-nigeria-after-rejection-in-south-africa/) which are referring to her as a "law student". Does this mean she currently is? And if it does, why have we chosen to write "as of 2017"? GeographicAccountant (talk) 13:51, 1 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

Withdrawn or Disqualified?

I see we keep changing the writing in the introduction as to why Chidimma Adetshina did not continue at Miss South Africa.

This has led me to ask a question: did she quit the competition (as in, she has surrendered her top 9 position amid backlash) or was she disqualified by the organization (as in, she remained a participant until they dismissed her)? Which one is it?

There is a sentence in the "Pageantry" section of the article where it states that "she decided to withdraw from the competition", meaning it was her who made the initial decision not to continue. Anything else such as investigations came "after" her withdrawal. Is this correct? And if it is, isn't this what we are supposed to be saying in the introduction?

Withdrawal means "she" decided not continue, right? Whether or not they would allow her to continue, she decided not to. Is this correct?

Just trying to make sure that the different parts of the article are saying the same thing.

  • She withdrew from the contest. Here it says "Subsequently, Chidimma announced her withdrawal from the competition, citing her safety and well-being as reasons for her withdrawal. She then went on to be invited to join the Miss Universe Nigeria competition where she went to the very end to win the ultimate prize.
  • Another source is here by aljazeera :While the government admitted Adetshina had committed no crime, her mother – who claims South African and Mozambican descent – became the subject of a criminal investigation. Both women denied any wrongdoing, but the pressure eventually forced Adetshina to withdraw from the Miss SA pageant. “I have made the difficult decision to withdraw from the competition for the safety and well-being of my family and me,” she announced on Instagram in August, days before the Miss SA final.
