A video capturing the moment Nigerian dancer, Korra Obidi, discovered that her US citizenship application had been denied has been shared online.
In the video, Korra could be seen opening an envelope containing the letter from the embassy to discover her fate.
Apparently, the mother of two had filed for citizenship by naturalization, but sadly, her request was not granted by the embassy.
The Instagram dancer evidently appeared sad and forlorn due to the rejection and had to end the video abruptly to process her feelings.
The incident has sparked mixed reactions on social media, with many asserting that Korra should have maintained a cordial relationship with her ex-husband, Justin Dean.
It will be recalled that the duo went through a messy split last year, a few days after she welcomed their second child in the US. The conflict dragged on for months before their divorce got finalized in November 2022.
In reaction to her citizenship rejection, some netizens advised women to learn from Korra’s mistake and not publicly fight with their Caucasian partners.
While there are conflicting reactions to the video, particularly in respect to her failed marriage, it’s currently not clear if Justin Dean is an American citizen and if staying with him would have been beneficial to her citizenship application.

@balo_ng wrote, “That’s not true, when your citizenship is denied you will know it right there before you leave the immigration office and maybe later send you a formal letter. If it is approved, they let you know, close your file and send you for your swearing in right there.So for her to act surprised on social media is just to cause more drama or views.”
