Angered by the actions of Korra Obidi, a prominent Nigerian-American dancer facing controversy, Nigerians on various social media platforms have criticized her for allegedly diverting the $50,000 target of her GoFundMe campaign towards a vacation in Hawaii, United States.
Recall that Obidi on Friday, created a GoFundMe with the sole aim of hiring a good lawyer who would help fight her case against her ex-husband, Justin Dean, over their kids.
Obidi aimed to hit $100,000 with the GoFundMe account but it generated over $50,000 raised from over 950 donors worldwide.
“As a mother, it’s time to fight for myself and my kids,” Obidi said, while also sharing her GoFundMe account details, seeking the assistance of fans and friends.
Making a shocking move, Korra made a U-turn after raising the money.
The mother of two on Sunday, said during a live session on Facebook that she had plans for a vacation in Hawaii.
Her decision garnered backlash from netizens as many hurled insults at her, with many alleging that the main intent of the GoFundMe was never to file a suit against the husband but to lavish on her extravagant lifestyle.
Below are some reactions:
Wanda Johnson, a Facebook user, said: “She got y’all’s money, now she’s at the airport. Some of you are too weak to believe her foolishness. She is always begging, scamming, and manipulating.”
“You are gradually becoming a professional beggar on social media,” one Chigoziri Ohochukwu on Facebook opined.
