“History has been made for Nigeria,” Adetshina remarked in a recent post. “To Nigeria: Thank you is not enough for all the support you’ve shown. You picked me up when I was at my lowest. I’ve never opened up much but I was ready to give up on my life and you became my strength. On days I never wanted to fight you gave me the strength to fight. I’m so grateful for each and everyone for walking this journey with me.”
Although Adetshina fell just short of the title, being named first runner up,she was still crowned Miss Universe Africa and Oceania, as the highest ranked African Contestant of 2024.
Adetshina grew up in Cape Town. As of 2024, she is a law student.
