Tobe Oboli, the 22-year-old son of renowned Nollywood actress and filmmaker Omoni Oboli, has welcomed his first child with his wife, Marelle Bergsma, just five months after their wedding.

Following weeks of controversy surrounding her participation in the Miss South Africa beauty pageant, Chidimma Adetshina has agreed to run for the Miss Universe Nigeria title.

The 23-year-old model, who was born in South Africa to a Nigerian father, withdrew from Miss South Africa “for the safety and wellbeing of my family and I” after a backlash that brought anti-foreigner sentiment in South Africa to the fore.

Organizers of the Miss Nigeria Universe contest immediately invited Chidimma Adetshina to join their final on August 31, saying it was a chance to “represent your father’s native land on an international stage”.

“Thank you so much for this opportunity, and I look forward to participating in Africa’s most prestigious beauty pageant, Miss Universe Nigeria,” Adetshina replied in a video on Instagram.

The social media backlash centered on her father’s nationality, despite South Africa granting citizenship by birth to anyone born in the country after 1995 to a South African parent or permanent resident.
As the controversy attracted the attention of government ministers and other figures, the home ministry launched an investigation that ultimately raised questions about the nationality of Adetshina’s mother, who was reported to be a South African of Mozambican descent.

It uncovered “prima facie indications” that her mother might have stolen the identity of a South African woman, the ministry said, adding it was obtaining legal advice on the implications for her citizenship.

The saga exposed anti-foreigner sentiment in South Africa which has witnessed violent, and at times deadly, attacks on immigrants and led to accusations of “Afrophobia” against citizens from elsewhere on the continent.

It also fanned rivalry between the netizens of Africa’s two economic powerhouses.

South Africans did not appreciate the reaction of Nigerian afrobeat superstar, Burna Boy, when the eventual winner of Miss South Africa was announced on August 10 as a white woman, Mia le Roux.

“So after all that …” he posted on X with laughing emojis.
