Psychologist hails Chidimma Adetshina
Speaking about the qualities of the beauty queen, Chukwuorji, who is a senior lecturer and clinical psychologist at the University of Nigeria Nsukka, Enugu state, said:
"Chidimma has a remarkable amount of poise and elegance which made her stand out in this global competition. I congratulate her for this feat. She has made Nigeria and Africa proud through this accomplishment. Although she faced some peculiar challenges, she was able to emerge victorious due to several factors."
He also spoke about how successful people feel at times and how they shake it off, and he linked it to Chidimma's story. In his words:
"Successful people often have those times of uncertainty when they feel like giving up the effort. It's okay to feel that way, but the decision one makes at such defining moments makes the difference. First is that Chidimma was prepared and determined. She had the inner strength, grit, and resilience to bounce back from the trauma of her experience in South Africa. "
How Nigerians helped Chidimma Adetshina
JohnBosco Chukwuorji, who is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the Michigan State University Department of Public Health, United States of America, also shared the impact of Nigerians on Chidimma's win.
"The second factor that was helpful to her is the support from Nigerians and other well-meaning individuals from other parts of the world. When you are resilient and have the right social support in any undertaking, it increases your chances of success."
He noted that individuals must learn to make proper use of the support they get as the famous Miss Universe Nigeria did.
"Whether people will support the person is not entirely in the hands of the individual, but resilience is the foundational trait that youths must cultivate. In Chidinma's case, she had the foot in the door and her South African experience increased the momentum of the massive support she got."
