Korra Obidi, the controversial Nigerian dancer, has revealed that she is not searching for a new partner at the moment, despite her divorce from her ex-husband, Justin Dean.
She said she is more focused on making money.
Appearing on a recent episode of the ‘Heroe’s Diary’ podcast, the mother of two explained that she isn’t bothered about remarrying, emphasising that she has “many boys” who satisfy her s*xual urges.
She said, “Serious Nigerian woman when I marry the man becomes my life. So now I’m trying to put that energy into making money so I don’t end up homeless like I was. I know that nobody is coming to save me in a in a knight and shining armour so I need to focus on the money.” [sic].
Obidi also frowned at the actions of those who are pinning her to her failed marriage, noting that it has been over two years since her divorce.
“I want to make a public service announcement. I’m not the only person that got married in Nigeria. In fact, my marriage was not even public. All you people saw was one post on Instagram: ‘Korra is taken.’ You people are now carrying the marriage to tie my legs.
“It has been two years [since my divorce], please leave me alone. I am single as a dollar bill. And I am not searching. I have many boys that service me.”
Sophia Etomi, a fast emerging model affectionately known as Etomisophia, has firmly stated that she will not resort to nudity, regardless of the financial incentives, to gain fame or fortune.
It is a world where modesty is now seen as old fashioned. To “blow,” one may have to bare it all, including revealing sensitive parts of the body in motion and still pictures to get noticed.
For a truth, bad stuff sells in this part faster than ice in the desert. In the last few years, young Nigerians n a bid to make it quicker than their talents would enable them, did some terrible things, including “S*x on the tape,” involving a renowned singer famed for her stage performance.
However, Sophia Etomi believes there is more to life than nudity.
When asked in an interview if she could go n*ked to model an outfit, Sophia Etomi said: “I believe in modesty. When I’m too exposed, I always tend to take two steps back. Fashion modeling goes way beyond exposing myself to get recognized.”
Despite this personal stand of hers, Sophia Etomi, who is seen as a young boss in the making however added that there are people who would not see anything wrong in exposing themselves to catch cruise.’
“People are different.Some people seem very confident with showing a lot of skin. Sometimes I get uncomfortable with it,” she stressed.
Etomisophia added that she is not under any form of pressure to be who she is not.
“I am not pressured at all; instead, I am my own motivation. I try to be better,do my own thing at my own pace so that I can take things seriously and put in the right amount of effort and time required for me to get satisfaction from what I put my effort in.
“Although, there are certain necessities that come to me like pressure but it’s something that I handle without too much fuss,” Sophia Etomi told our correspondent.
Popular Nigerian actresses, Iyabo Ojo and Lizzy Anjorin have settled their rift.
Their social media feud had escalated to the point where Ojo filed a defamatory lawsuit against Lizzy, seeking N500 million in damages.
Lizzy’s absence at the first court hearing in February 2024 led to court notices being pasted at her house.
In a recent development, the judge presiding over the case took on the role of mediator and successfully reconciled the two actresses.
Confirming the reconciliation to the press, Iyabo mentioned that the judge provided motherly advice, urging both women to stop fighting and cursing each other on social media and to embrace peace instead.
A video circulating online shows Iyabo and Lizzy smiling as they left the court together.
Lizzy’s husband approached Iyabo and gave her a peaceful hug, symbolising the newfound harmony.

THE GINGER FOR A NEW WEEK
Monday, despite being the start of a new week, is a dreaded day for so many people.
“It’s about to be Monday again” “Tomorrow is Monday” “How I wish this weekend does not end” and so on is usually the lamentation of all and sundry prior to Monday, especially students, 9-5 workers, apprentices, and even the self-employed.
But why do people hate Mondays? Usually, Monday marks the beginning of a stressful week for some, and of rigorous school activities for students. A day that ends the comfort associated with a weekend, it is a day that kick-starts another five to six days routine race of humans chasing survival, that is, striving to make a means to an end which also at the same time makes it an important day. A day needed to kick-start the other days to continually set in place and stabilize our means of survival.
How to get Motivated for Monday
We all simply feel less motivated on Mondays and we tend to need an assurance or a sort of motivation that preaches “tomorrow will be better than yesterday” or “this Monday will be better than the past Mondays.” The truth is that we can be our own source of motivation. We can set the wheel of a better week running ourselves. How about we stop dreading Mondays? What if we start approaching Mondays with zeal and optimism?
Here is how you can make the best of the beginning of a new week:
1. Prepare your mind for a successful day/week:
View Monday as a day to gear yourself towards positivity, take time to relax your tense mind either by affirmations or meditations, reminisce back to the past weeks, reflect on your past tasks, check for mistakes, and seek for improvements to avoid recurring mistakes and be hopefully for the best throughout the rest of the week.
2. Have a positive mindset:
Cultivating a positive attitude in every ramification of life begets fortitude, assurance of the best, and enthusiasm towards one’s objectives. Every individual needs to approach Monday, the beginning of the week, the rest of the week, and the milestones ahead with a positive mindset. One should view difficult tasks as an opportunity to learn more and grow.
3. Set Clear Goals For the Week:
Setting clear goals itself is motivation enough to set a tone for a successful week ahead. This enables you to focus and narrow down the possibilities of overwhelming tasks to clear and purposeful ones. When you’re at it, be stern while setting your goals for the week, and outline the things you aim to actualize, they might be workplace-related jobs or geared towards personal development.
4. Have a curated list of your plans:
Draft a plan or to-do list to guide you throughout the day or week, and arrange the order of your tasks according to how they suit you or according to your work pace. Do not be in a rush to carry out if not required of you. An organized plan motivates and contributes to a successful week.
5. Seek more knowledge about your goals:
Associate yourself with individuals equipped with more knowledge on the goals you wish to tackle, and source for inspiration on your objectives by reading reassuring or motivational quotes, books, or online content like this one you’re currently reading. Indulge in activities that arouse your creativity and quest for learning.
6. Be Consistent:
Your motivation towards a new week can be further backed up by being consistent in whatever you set your mind on whether workplace-related or a self-objective, show up every day, and get it done at the time you have assigned to get it done. In other words, consistency serves as an instrument to spur a productive and positive week.
7. Be mindful of your well-being:
Good health is mostly underrated and unappreciated meanwhile good health is easily a source of motivation. Your body loses the ability to engage in important activities when experiencing weakness both physically and in the mind. Eating healthy, taking time to relax, and prioritizing self-care activities like exercises revitalize your mind and body.
Also, remember to always share your achievements with your loved ones, and celebrate your achievements regardless of how little. This would further make Monday less dreadful for you and motivate you for the coming weeks. So, as each beginning of the week draws closer, do not hesitate to seek and cling to any source of motivation, embrace positivity, look forward to daily growth, and of course, make more money.
