African unity has remained a pressing issue in contemporary politics and socio-economic development. We're calling for all states under the African Union to create an African Personality and adopt an African Passport. This demand extends beyond mere paperwork to become a symbol of unified identity that bolsters integration and cooperation across countries. Additionally, it is urgent that all African State’s Governments pass laws recognizing all Africans as equals. According to UNESCO, cultural diversity is as necessary for humankind as biodiversity is in nature; hence, an African Custom Integration formula should be established to attain meaningful Unionism. It's time for Africa to embrace its diversity and unite under a common banner. Please sign this petition to advance the cause of Pan-African unity.

This petition has become a compulsory necessity considering the current global changes there’s a high need for absolute unity among African personalities which includes African citizens and all Blacks around the World. With the recent black-on-black hates against Chidimma Adetshina, a 2024 Miss South Africa pageant finalist, has faced scrutiny and backlash over her Nigerian heritage, The South African Times reports.
The controversy surrounding Ms Adetshina began shortly after she entered the beauty pageant. The 23-year-old model from Soweto, South Africa, who advanced to the Top 30 Miss SA competition, became the frontline of the country’s xenophobia debate and national identity.
Born in South Africa to a Nigerian father (Igbo) and a Mozambique mother, now naturalised South African, Ms Adetshina’s participation in the pageant has been met with both support and harsh criticism, shedding light on the country’s deep-seated history of xenophobic violence and discrimination, particularly towards African immigrants.

In an interview with Soweto SMag, she said that despite her South African birth and upbringing at Chris Hani Baragwanath Academic Hospital, her Nigerian heritage has led some to challenge her eligibility to represent South Africa on such a prominent stage.
Adetshina terms the criticism as black-on-black hate.

Explaining her background to the South African-based newspaper, Ms Adetshina said, “My dad is a proud Nigerian, and my mother was born and raised in South Africa but had Mozambique roots. My mom’s family still lives in Soweto, and I visit them occasionally.”

South African Citizen Act states that an individual automatically qualifies for citizenship if they are born in South Africa if at least one of their parents is a South African citizen, and if an SA permanent residency permit holder or a South African citizen adopts them.

The organisation’s website maintains stringent citizenship and ethical conduct criteria. It states, “Miss South-Africa entrants must be South African citizens and possess a valid South African ID document or passport. If an applicant holds dual citizenship, they must provide details of both on the entry form.

South Africa and Nigeria are the two powerfully strategically positioned nations to bring about the much-needed transformation on the African continent; hence, collaboration in sports, education, beauty events, cultural activities, and government ties will help us see and achieve the greater good.

This petition will help show the strong support of African public opinion in advocacy for the necessity for creation of an African Passport, an African Citizenship for all passports holders, and an African Personality for all blacks around the World. Only this way will Africa as a Continent be able to stand tall in competition against such other powers like the European Union, and other imperial powers and be regarded as Partners!
