SocialMediaTrends: Nigerians react as Korra Obidi’s husband opens up further on divorce

The social media space on Friday, played host to a number of reactions following an Instagram post by Dr Justin Dean; husband of US-based Nigerian choreographer and entertainment polymath, Korra Obidi, explaining the reason for their marital fallout.

Justin who had earlier made a divorce announcement, explained that he was tired of trying to make the marriage work on Korra’s terms.

The 30-year-old Chiropractor accused Korra of infidelity and narcissistic behaviours, adding that she lacked “accountability”.

His instagram post read:

“I’m tired of narcissim, cheating and lack of accountability. I’ve been trying since 2018 to save our marriage and if I don’t do exactly what she says, she divorces me. I’ve been a prisoner that has his family used against him if she doesn’t get exactly what she wants”.

But varied reactions across social media greeted the issue.

Many called Justin out for going public with the announcement especially considering that his wife had just welcomed a child.

Some also claimed Korra’s side of the story was important for a balanced verdict on the matter.

Others however, thought Justin’s actions were justifiable since the couple have always been in the public eye. They also decried the silent toxicity experienced by men in many marriages.
