On Instagram, Adetshina shared her heartfelt appreciation, recalling how Nigerians lifted her during difficult times and how Africa demonstrated the power of unity.
“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 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 for each and everyone for walking this journey with me,” she wrote.
Addressing Africa, she wrote: “To Africa: thank you for showing your love and support. As much as I represent Nigeria, Africa fought for me. My voice, 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 we can all accept and celebrate one another.”
Adetshina emphasised this moment marks the beginning, not the end, of her journey, inspiring others with her resilience and gratitude.
