Despite public criticism, Nigerian singer and dancer Korra Obidi has said she remains proud of her achievements since beginning her career 15 years ago.

Obidi, who started as a dancer in Surulere, Lagos, described her journey from local stages to international platforms as proof that ‘dreams can travel.’

“Navigating my life in the public eye, living authentically without caving to societal pressures of conformity has been one of my proudest feats in the few adult years I have lived,” she said.

The mother of two noted that staying focused on her craft and rejecting ego have been her guiding principles.

“Through the treacherous terrains of public opinion, I have found peace by recentering myself, drinking my body’s weight in water daily, minding my craft, and remaining humble,” Obidi explained.

“Ego is the enemy. Learning every day and grooming a growth mentality is the key. Stagnation and redundancies are never condoned in the Korraverse,” she added.

The 34-year-old entertainer recently concluded a two-month tour across Berlin, Italy, and Antigua.
