There’s so much we can learn from this beauty queen.

1. Facing Criticism with Grace

Chidimma found herself at the centre of xenophobic backlash in South Africa after allegations surfaced regarding her citizenship status. Despite the hostility, she maintained a composed demeanour, choosing to prioritise her family’s safety over personal ambition. Her actions remind us that in moments of public scrutiny, grace and calm can often be the best response.

2. The Power of Accountability

Though the citizenship controversy stemmed from systemic issues and her mother’s alleged actions, Chidimma took responsibility for her participation by voluntarily withdrawing from the Miss South Africa competition. This decision underscores the importance of acknowledging the bigger picture and stepping back when personal involvement could escalate tensions.

3. Turning Setbacks into Advocacy

Chidimma’s situation highlighted systemic challenges in South Africa’s Department of Home Affairs, sparking discussions on immigration fraud and xenophobia. While she faced personal losses, her story became a catalyst for addressing broader issues. It’s a reminder that even personal setbacks can inspire societal change.

4. Resilience in the Face of Hate

The xenophobic attacks Chidimma endured were emotionally taxing, yet she remained focused on her core values. Her ability to navigate such a hostile environment speaks to the power of resilience. For anyone facing adversity, her journey is a testament to holding onto inner strength despite external negativity.

5. Knowing When to Walk Away

Withdrawing from Miss South Africa wasn’t an easy decision for Chidimma, but it was a strategic one to safeguard her peace and family. Sometimes, stepping away from a fight is not an admission of defeat but a deliberate choice to prioritise what matters most. Her story teaches us the value of choosing our battles wisely.

Omotola showed off the scars she got from the surgery as she lifted her top to show what her stomach now looks like.

Speaking about the emergency surgery she had late last year, the mother of four admitted that showing off her scar during her Valentine’s Day shoot was a slip, but one she eventually embraced.

This is my last Valentine unmarried, DJ Cuppy says; prays for husband

Nigerian disc jockey, Florence Otedola, aka DJ Cuppy, has offered a heartfelt prayer that this year’s Valentine’s Day will be the last she celebrates as an unmarried woman.

Cuppy shared the prayer via her X handle as she wished herself a happy Valentine’s Day.

She wrote, “Happy #ValentinesDay to me! Manifesting that this is my last one unmarried. Lord, do your thing!”

The 32-year-old billionaire heiress has had a rollercoaster love life. She’s been romantically involved with notable figures, including former Super Eagles striker Victor Anichebe, but their relationship ended in 2017 due to long-distance struggles.

She later dated music executive Asa Asika, but their romance hit the wall around 2020. In 2022, she got engaged to British boxer Ryan Taylor, and the couple often shared affectionate moments online. However, by 2023, rumours of a split started circulating, and she later confirmed she was single again.

DJ Cuppy, born on November 11, 1992, has had a successful disc jockey career. In 2014, she was the resident DJ at the MTV Africa Music Awards in Durban.

After then, she played at the Tatler and Christie’s Art Ball in London and at the Financial Times Business of Luxury Summit in Mexico City.

In July 2014, she released House of Cuppy as her first compilation mix in London and Lagos, before launching it in New York on 2 September 2014. With House of Cuppy, she produced EDM-esque remixes of songs by leading afropop artists.
