Backlash As Korra Obidi Jets Off To Hawaii After Fans Raised $50,000 For Legal Fee

Nigerian-American singer and dancer Korra Obidi has come under fire from Nigerians on social media after jetting off to Hawaii immediately following the completion of her $50,000 GoFundMe target.
Obidi launched the fundraiser to secure legal assistance in overturning her ex-husband Justin Dean’s custody rights over their children.
The GoFundMe campaign, initiated on Friday, aimed to raise $100,000 to cover legal fees. Within a short period, it amassed over $50,000 from more than 950 donors worldwide.
Despite vocalizing her intent to fight for her children, Obidi sparked outrage when she revealed her plans for a Hawaiian vacation during a live Facebook session on Sunday.
Critics accused Obidi of using the fundraiser as a means to finance her lavish lifestyle rather than pursuing legal action against her ex-husband. Disgruntled fans took to social media to express their disappointment, labeling Obidi as a “professional beggar” and questioning her sincerity.
Wanda Johnson, a Facebook user, denounced Obidi’s actions, asserting that she had deceived her supporters. Similarly, Chigoziri Ohochukwu condemned Obidi for what they perceived as manipulative behavior.
Others, like Jennifer Lynn Russell, called for the GoFundMe campaign to be reported in an attempt to reclaim donated funds. Nene Peters expressed disbelief at Obidi’s swift transition from seeking legal aid to embarking on a holiday.
Amidst the criticism, some defended Obidi’s right to privacy and autonomy. Mary Monique Napont urged detractors to refrain from scrutinizing Obidi’s choices, emphasizing her multifaceted identity as an influencer, performer, student, and mother.
The divorce and custody dispute between Obidi and Dean have been the subject of public attention, with recent developments granting Dean the authority to limit their children’s exposure on Obidi’s social media platforms. Obidi has accused Dean of abuse and manipulation during their marriage, alleging that he continues to mistreat their daughters.
As the controversy unfolds, Obidi’s actions have reignited debates surrounding accountability and transparency in online fundraising efforts.

I Have Eight Videos Of My Wife’s Affairs – Ijoba Lande Speaks On Marital Crisis

Popular Nigerian comedian and skit maker, Ganiyu Morufu, better known as Ijoba Lande, has alleged that his estranged wife, Dara, was involved in multiple affairs, claiming to have video evidence of her encounters with several men.
During an Instagram livestream interview with media personality Daddy Freeze on Monday night, Lande disclosed that he has eight videos showing different men sleeping with Dara, aside from Yoruba Nollywood actor Baba Tee, who recently admitted to being intimate with her.
“I have eight videos of other men sleeping with my wife aside from Baba Tee. It’s so painful. I watched how these men were spanking her,” Lande stated.
The comedian, visibly emotional, expressed his disappointment and said the betrayal had deeply affected him.

“So, if she behaves like that as a single mother, it does not mean all single mothers will behave like that. It is just on her will to be promiscuous.
“Since I left her, no woman appeals to me anymore; I have been avoiding all women. I challenge anybody to admit seeing me with any lady in a hotel since this incident happened. I’m embittered with the whole situation. She’s a bad woman,” he added.
Lande also revealed that he has been in possession of Baba Tee’s alleged sex tape with Dara for four months and suggested that he might release it soon.
The controversy initially gained traction after Baba Tee, who had previously denied any involvement with Dara, later admitted to having a brief sexual encounter with her.
His confession contradicted his earlier claim that Lande was defaming him and should provide evidence or face legal action.
Lande further alleged that his wife’s infidelity was extensive, stating that at least 21 men in the entertainment industry had been with her.
In response, Dara denied engaging in any sexual activity with Baba Tee, insisting that the only physical contact they had was when she sat on his lap during a “Truth or Dare” game initiated by her friend, Marygold.
“The first time I met Baba Tee was in July last year when Marygold told me we should go to his house because she wanted to invite him to the launching of her movie. When we got there, Baba Tee didn’t know I was Lande’s wife, we greeted, and Marygold said she wanted to drink alcohol.
“There was no alcohol in the house, so Marygold and Baba Tee’s driver went to buy it while I sat down in the living room. Baba Tee and I didn’t talk till they returned.
PWhen Marygold entered the house, she said we should start a ‘Truth or Dare’ game. I didn’t want to, but she encouraged me, so I told Baba Tee that I was Lande’s wife, and we started the game.
“As the game was going on, Marygold stripped herself naked and gave Baba Tee a BJ. By then, I had already drunk 10 shots of alcohol while Marygold and Baba Tee were smoking ‘Igbo’ (marijuana). Marygold then dared Baba Tee to give me a doggy style, so Baba Tee went to get a condom.
“When he returned, I told him I would not allow doggy, but I would sit on him. We then told Marygold to turn to the wall so she wouldn’t watch us. I only sat on his lap; we didn’t do anything,” she explained.
