Let\u2019s fly higher than weather!\u201d she tweeted.<\/p>\n<p>Her post quickly attracted attention online, largely due to the lingering debate surrounding her nationality and her participation in Miss SA 2024.<\/p>\n<p>At the time, Adetshina\u2019s involvement in the pageant sparked widespread backlash, with many South Africans questioning her eligibility and ultimately rallying against her participation, which led to her withdrawal from the competition.<\/p>\n<p>Shortly after, the Miss Nigeria Universe organisation reached out to Adetshina, opening the door for her to represent Nigeria on the international stage; a move that marked a new chapter in her pageant journey.<\/p>\n<p>The timing of her Super Eagles message further fuelled online conversation, coming just hours after Bafana Bafana were eliminated from Afcon 2025 following a 2\u20131 defeat to Cameroon.<\/p>\n<p>As a result, her tweet drew reactions from both South African and Nigerian users, with opinions sharply divided.<\/p>\n<p>Some critics used the moment to mock her, with one user commenting, \u201cRepresenting a disgraced country is wild,\u201d while another bluntly stated, \u201cBro, u are not Nigeria.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Others, however, praised Adetshina for standing firm and showing national pride.<\/p>\n<p>One supporter wrote, \u201cSure knows how to cook\u2026 more love from this side,\u201d while another defended her amid the backlash, pointing out the emotions surrounding South Africa\u2019s Afcon exit and backing her decision to support Nigeria.<\/p>\n<p>See Chidinma\u2019s tweet below:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">It\u2019s Super Eagles day.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s fly higher than weather! <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/uFWVmiYsWk\" rel=\"nofollow\">pic.twitter.com\/uFWVmiYsWk<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Chidimma Adetshina (@chichi_vanessaa) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/chichi_vanessaa\/status\/2008124770987196605?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">January 5, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><!-- CONTENT END 4 -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><script data-jetpack-boost=\"ignore\" async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-1669381584671856\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- Africa tv video display -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1669381584671856\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"3579572842\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script data-jetpack-boost=\"ignore\">\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n#Chidinma #Adetshina #shows #support #Super #Eagles #ahead #Mozambique #clash<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#13; hidinma Adetshina shows support for Super Eagles during Afcon 2025 Former Miss South Africa contestant Chidinma Adetshina has once&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":46749,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-46748","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mzansi"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/46748","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=46748"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/46748\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":46750,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/46748\/revisions\/46750"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/46749"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=46748"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=46748"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=46748"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
