Chidimma Adetshina, the former Miss Universe Nigeria, has explained why she couldn’t participate in the 2025 Big Brother Naija (BBNaija) reality show despite earlier showing interest.
In August 2024, the beauty queen disclosed her intention to join this year’s BBNaija edition.
But she eventually missed out on the show, which wrapped up in October with Imisi emerging winner of the N80 million cash prize and a brand new SUV.
In a video shared via her X page, Adetshina revealed that her manager stopped her from joining BBNaija’s 10th edition because she was still Miss Universe Nigeria.
The beauty queen disclosed that she plans to participate in the 2026 BBNaija edition. She added that she enjoyed her stay in Nigeria and hopes to return soon.
“I really enjoyed my stay in Nigeria, and even now, like I said, once I get my documents sorted, I am going back. Nigeria was really great for me,” she said.
“The eight months I spent there were amazing. I feel there is more to explore; there are so many opportunities in Nigeria.
“I also want to do Big Brother next year. I wanted to do it this year, but my manager said I couldn’t because I’m still Miss Universe Nigeria.”
In November 2024, Adetshina revealed plan to take a break from pageants to focus on her education, modeling, and acting career.
