“This is something that I’ve always wanted, and I’m really glad that I have a second shot as well at achieving it,” Adetshina said.Despite not being in the country in 20 years, organisers of the Nigerian contest invited her to join their final, saying it was a chance for her to “represent your father’s native land on an international stage”.
