“I want every young girl in Nigeria to see that you can do anything that you want to do if you put your mind to it, pregnant or not.”

The lead judge Nigel Lythgoe said, “You are inspiring to women. Just because you’re having a baby doesn’t mean you should stop doing what you love. And that’s wonderful.”

Obidi didn’t make it through to the next round, probably out of concern for how she’d be able to keep up with other contestants as the season.

However, the expectant mother said, “performing on that stage was miraculous, and I’m happy that I got to experience it with her.”
