She made a quick switch to Nigeria and is already leading at the Miss Universe Nigeria contest.

During an interview with Cool FM, she revealed her plan to be part of Africa’s biggest reality TV show, Big Brother Naija.

“I want to enter Big Brother Naija next year. If I can stay away for seven weeks at Miss SA, trust me, I am sure I can do it,” the 23-year-old model said.

Quizzed about the emotional ordeal she went through after her nationality was questioned in South Africa, she said:

“For me, it has been a long journey. It’s been so hard, I won’t lie. Sometimes, I would cry to sleep and be like, ‘Why me?’ and want it to end. But sometimes, when difficult moments happen, you must look at the positive side. So I had to change my mindset and see that greatness may come from all this.”

If Chidimma makes good of her plans to join the Big Brother Naija show, she will not be the first beauty pageant to tow this path.
