Prominent broadcaster Kikelomo Atanda-Owo has joined the ongoing public discourse regarding the marriage of Nollywood actress Annie Idibia and legendary musician Innocent ‘2Baba’ Idibia.
In a thought-provoking commentary, Atanda-Owo explored the complexities of relationships, highlighting the importance of self-worth, love, and sacrifice, while encouraging women to prioritize self-love over societal expectations. Speaking openly on her Instagram, she reflected on Annie’s unwavering commitment to her husband despite numerous challenges.
“The foundation they share shapes their future,” she noted, pointing out that Annie supported 2Baba throughout his music career, even after he had children with other women. “She remained by his side even when he continued to see his baby mama. Love is not a crime, but women should start valuing themselves more than men in relationships.”
Atanda-Owo expressed sympathy for Annie’s resilience but emphasized the need for women to focus on their emotional and mental well-being. “What Annie endured, most men couldn’t handle even a fraction of it. Just imagine if another man touches your wife by the waist—many marriages would fall apart instantly.”
She also praised 2Baba for his calm demeanor amid the turmoil, noting his decision to keep their private matters off social media. “We don’t know the full story or what he’s experiencing, but I commend him for staying composed and not rushing to social media to share details. This shows a level of maturity, even if he is at the root of these challenges.”
Atanda-Owo criticized the toxic culture of online judgment, where social media often turns personal struggles into public entertainment. “Social media has quickly turned their pain into a spectacle, with people assigning blame, criticizing, and even cursing. What happened to hearing from those involved before fueling the frenzy?”
She used this situation to advocate for self-empowerment, urging women to embrace self-love and personal growth. “We must protect the next girl and teach the next generation that self-love and self-development are paramount. You don’t need marriage to validate your existence as a woman or a man.
“Tuface and Annie aren’t the first, and they won’t be the last to go through a divorce. Sometimes, it marks the beginning of growth and healing. What truly matters is finding peace and moving forward.”
