Chidimma also extended her appreciation to Africa, acknowledging the continent’s love and support throughout her journey.
“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 so much, but I was ready to give up on my life, but you became my strength. On days I never wanted to fight, you gave me the strength to fight. I’m so grateful to each and everyone for walking this journey with me,” she said.
“To Africa, thank you for showing your love and support as much as I represent Nigeria. Africa fought for me. My voice and my story touched many and brought us together. This journey has taught me the power of unity. I want us to live in a society where all can be accepted and celebrated by one another. This is not the end, but the beginning of my journey. Love you, Miss Universe. First Runner Up,” she wrote.
