Chidimma Adetshina believes that earning respect is more crucial than gaining popularity.
At the recent 73rd Miss Universe Competition held in Mexico City, Chidimma Vanessa Adetshina, the esteemed first runner-up, articulated a profound perspective on the value of respect over mere likability. In response to a poignant question from one of the judges, Adetshina confidently asserted, “I feel like being respected is more important than being liked.”
Her statement resonates deeply within contemporary society, where recognition of one’s inherent dignity often comes second to superficial acceptance. Adetshina emphasized that respect is fundamental, not only for oneself but also for others, suggesting that self-respect fosters a culture of mutual reverence. “We live in a society where we often don’t feel respected because of who we are,” she noted, highlighting a critical issue that many individuals face today.
Despite concluding the competition as first runner-up to Miss Denmark, Victoria Kjaer Theilvig, Adetshina’s poise and insightful commentary left an indelible mark on both judges and audiences alike. Her experience serves as a reminder of the necessity of prioritizing respect in our interactions, fostering a more inclusive and supportive environment for all. As we reflect on her message, it is clear that true respect is a cornerstone of personal and societal well-being.
Nigerian singer Naira Marley’s family life has become a topic of public interest after Instagram model and TikToker Sandra Benede publicly acknowledged being the mother of his twin daughters, Aishat and Simiat Fashola.
The admission occurred during a recent livestream with streamer Peller, who initiated the conversation regarding the children. While Ms. Benede confirmed her parentage, she clarified that she and Mr. Marley are not married.
Speculation regarding a potential relationship between the two figures arose in May 2022 following a birthday greeting from Ms. Benede to Mr. Marley. The recent confirmation now sheds further light on their connection and the children’s parentage.
Nollywood actress Mary Njoku has recently ignited a debate regarding the necessity of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) examination for university admissions in Nigeria. In a statement posted on her Instagram story, Njoku questioned the need for JAMB and post-UTME, arguing that the Senior School Certificate Examination (SSCE) should be sufficient proof of a candidate’s completion of secondary education.
Her statement comes amidst recent controversy surrounding JAMB, particularly following widespread reports of mass failures in the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examinations (UTME). While JAMB has admitted to errors and announced retakes for affected candidates, Njoku’s questioning highlights a deeper concern regarding the redundancy and potential inefficiencies within the current university admission process. The actress’s comments add fuel to an existing debate about the effectiveness and fairness of the JAMB examination in evaluating a student’s readiness for tertiary education.
