Korra Obidi, the US-based Nigerian social media dancer, has cried out for financial assistance to engage in a parental right battle with Justin Dean, her ex-husband.

The entertainer claimed Dean obtained a court order prohibiting her from posting their two children on social media.

On Friday, Obidi launched a GoFundMe campaign to cover the costs of challenging the court ruling — with nearly $52,000 raised so far.

The influencer said she needs “a good lawyer” while pleading with the public to donate funds to her GoFundMe account.

Obidi also argued that her content centres on her experiences as a mother and that she cannot afford her children to be banned from social media.

“This is the GoFundMe link guys, I need a good lawyer and I need one ASAP. If you know that you’ve ever loved me, you know that this is what I do, I make content from home and I create content around motherhood and sharing my experiences around motherhood,” Obidi said while breaking down in tears.

“This is my experience, this is what I am going through right now. I am shamelessly asking, if you know you are a celebrity, you have money that you are just throwing around, I need help and a lawyer right now cause if I don’t do something right now, this is going to be my life for the next 18 years until these kids are old.

“He has said it that he’s not gonna stop until the children are in foster care. I am entangled with a crazy person, I need help.”

The dancer also said her decision to seek legal recourse is to secure unrestrained access to her children.

“My children and the person who abused them will be brought to book. My rights as a mother will be reinstated. Nobody will be deleting videos from my page anymore, and my children will be allowed to travel to Africa whenever they want, to travel to Nigeria whenever they want,” Obidi said.

Dean had earlier alleged that Athena, their first daughter, now twerks like her mom. He added that he will never let his kids back on Facebook.

Obidi and Dean’s marriage crashed in March 2022.

A few weeks after their divorce, Obidi accused her ex-husband of stealing $5000 from their joint account.

In November 2022, she also alleged that Dean demanded spousal support from her.

Obidi claimed she paid half of her bride price. She also alleged she paid $50,000 to Dean just to see her kids.

The last is yet to be heard of the endemic sexual harassment in the Nigerian movie industry, as another actress Esther Ogechi Ogbu has recounted how she once slept on the floor for seven days to avoid being sexually molested by a production manager, who was supposed to be her “guardian angel” in the industry.

The actress is sharing her ordeal less than seven months after fast- rising actress Ogechukwu Anasor, better known as Bliss Thelma Joseph also shared a similar traumatic experience in a chat with NollyNow.

Esther, who made her acting debut in 2012, before she took a break to focus on her university education, described the experience as ‘a nightmare.’ The actress admitted that there’s sexual harassment in the limelight industry, as her experience was one out of several experiences of other victims.

Without naming anyone, Ogbu said that the ‘harassment’ happened while they were preparing to hit a movie location and when they returned at night. She said the production manager was being “predatory.”

Sharing her ugly experience, while in a telephone chat with NollyNow, the actress who staged a comeback to acting four years ago after her graduation revealed that she came into the movie industry through the production manager in question.

With little acting experience and no contacts, Esther said the production manager had invited her to a movie location, where she was supposed to land her first role in a movie. But unknown to her that all that glitters is not gold, she had her worst experience while trying to make her acting dream come true.

She narrated: “I came into the industry through the production manager. He was the one that contacted me, and when I arrived at the hotel, where he was lodging, he asked me to wait for him in his room, while he attended to other things before we would hit the location.

“When he returned to the hotel, rather than heading to the movie location, he started making advances at me. I told him, this is not why you invited me. I added that we were supposed to be heading to the location and not what he was doing.

“He agreed that we should be heading to the location. When we were done with the day’s shooting, we returned to the hotel and he started making advances at me again. At this point, I told him I wouldn’t exchange my body for anything. Immediately, he sent me out of his room that night and I was at the hotel lobby, until one of the crew members came back from where he went to look for food.

“He asked what I was doing at the lobby at that time of the night and when I narrated my ordeal to him, he just smiled. He then asked me to come and sleep in his room where he had four other people including himself. I joined them and practically had to sleep on the floor with the only girl who was with them for seven days. I was not bothered that I lost my purse the same day because I needed to achieve my mission no matter the odds,” the actress narrated. Sadly, Esther said she was not paid a dime after playing a minor role in her debut movie. But all that is history now, as the charming actress is constantly smiling to the bank. Since her return to acting, things have been looking good for the actress.

Interestingly, despite the initial challenges, the actress did not give up on her acting career. At the moment, she’s one of the busiest actresses making waves in Nollywood. In recent times, she’s been everywhere, featuring in movies such as “You Are Mine” produced by popular film director and producer, Ugeze .J. Ugeze, “Water the Waters”, “Strange Man” among others.

She said that she was not averse to dating her male colleague in the industry. “I will date an actor because he is a human being just like me. But that would have been possible if there’s no man in my life. Esther, who studied Psychology at Ebonyi State University believes that her craft would pave the way for her in the movie industry, and she’s stopping at nothing to be on top of the game.

Grammy-winning sensation Tems is set to release her highly anticipated debut album ‘Born In The Wild’ which will mark a milestone in her fantastic career.

Tems announced the date for her debut album on her X account on May 10, 2024, in a post in which she described the project as her “special moment’.

Ahead of the release of ‘Born In The Wild’ on June 7, Tems has released 3 tracks with the latest being ‘Love Me Jeje’ on which she samples the classic single of the same by Seyi Sodimu featuring Shaffy Bello.
