“I Was Wrong” – 2Baba Idibia Publicly Apologizes to Wife Annie, Children, Family, and Fans Amid Ongoing Marital Challenges

 Music icon and African legend Innocent Ujah Idibia, popularly known as 2Baba (formerly 2face Idibia), has issued a deeply emotional public apology to his wife, Annie Macaulay-Idibia, their children, his other children, his extended family, and millions of fans worldwide.

In a heartfelt video and written statement released in the early hours of today, the “African Queen” singer took full responsibility for the pain caused by recent events in his personal life.

With tears in his eyes, 2Baba said:

“I was wrong. I hurt my wife, someone who has stood by me through everything. I hurt my children. I hurt my mother, my family, and all of you who have believed in me all these years.

I take full responsibility. No excuses. I am deeply sorry. I beg for forgiveness from Annie, from my children, from my mother, from the Idibias, the Macaulays, and from every one of you that I have let down.”

The apology comes amid weeks of intense public scrutiny following a series of social media posts, leaked messages, and family statements that highlighted strains in the 12-year marriage between 2Baba and Annie Idibia.

The legendary artist, who has always maintained a relatively private family life despite his superstar status, acknowledged that his actions and silence in recent times contributed to the escalation of the situation.

“I have been quiet for too long, and that silence caused more pain,” he continued.

“I am committed to Annie in front of the world, and I failed to protect that commitment the way she deserved. I am not proud of my mistakes, but I am committed to making things right, first with God, then with my wife and children.”

2Baba also appealed directly to fans and the media:

“Please respect our privacy as we go through this healing process as a family. Your prayers mean everything to us right now.”

The statement has triggered an outpouring of support across social media, with #WeLoveYou2Baba and #Forgiveness trending in Nigeria within hours.

Annie Idibia is yet to make a public comment on the apology.

2Baba, regarded as one of Africa’s most influential musicians of all time, says he is currently focusing on personal growth, family reconciliation, and spiritual renewal.

Shola Allyson Breaks Silence, Clarifies Her Artistic Choices

 Renowned Nigerian gospel and soul singer Shola Allyson has addressed ongoing speculation about her music, particularly the absence of direct references to Jesus in some of her songs. In a heartfelt statement, the beloved artist opened up about her creative process and spiritual convictions, emphasizing that her work remains deeply rooted in faith.

In a recent interview, Shola Allyson responded to questions about her lyrical choices, saying:

“Jesus didn’t ask me to do PR for Him. My music is an expression of my journey, my truth, and my connection with God. I sing what I’m led to sing, and I trust that the Spirit carries the message to those who need it. Not every song has to say ‘Jesus’ to reflect His presence.”

Known for timeless hits like Eji Oyewo, Imoore, and Isodotun, Allyson has built a reputation for blending Yoruba folk, soul, and gospel to create music that resonates with diverse audiences. Her songs often explore themes of gratitude, resilience, and divine love, earning her a loyal following across Nigeria and beyond.

Addressing critics who have questioned her approach, Allyson explained that her faith guides her artistry but does not dictate a rigid formula.

“God is vast, and His expression through us is limitless,” she said. “I don’t set out to fit a mold. I sing from my heart, and I believe that’s what connects with people. If the name ‘Jesus’ isn’t in a song, it doesn’t mean He’s absent from the message or my life.”

The singer also highlighted her commitment to authenticity, noting that her music reflects her personal experiences and spiritual insights. She urged fans and critics alike to focus on the essence of her work rather than preconceived expectations of gospel music.

“I’m not here to meet a checklist,” Allyson added. “I’m here to be true to the gift God has given me and to touch lives through it. If my music brings you peace, hope, or closer to God, then I’ve done my part.”

Shola Allyson’s statement has sparked conversations online, with many fans praising her sincerity and others engaging in broader discussions about the role of explicit religious references in gospel music.

The artist remains focused on her craft, with plans for a new album in 2026 and upcoming performances across Nigeria. She expressed gratitude to her supporters, saying, “Thank you for walking this journey with me. Let’s keep seeking God in spirit and truth.”

Nasboi Announces Plan to Quit Fame After Reaching ₦5 Billion Net Worth

 Popular Nigerian comedian, singer, and content creator Lawal Michael Nasiru Bolaji, widely known as Nasboi, has revealed his intention to walk away from the spotlight once he achieves a personal financial milestone of ₦5 billion.

In a candid interview that has since gone viral, the “Umbrella” crooner shared his unconventional long-term vision, stating:

“In my next life, I don’t want to be famous. This life, I’m managing it because I need the money. Once I hit ₦5 billion, I’m out. I’ll delete everything—Instagram, TikTok, everything—and just live quietly.”

Nasboi, who rose to prominence through hilarious skits and later broke into the music scene with his hit single “Umbrella” featuring Falz, explained that fame, while rewarding, comes with intense pressure and loss of privacy that he is not willing to endure indefinitely.

“I love what I do, and I’m grateful for the love and support, but peace of mind is priceless,” he said. “I’m working hard now so that tomorrow I can wake up, drink tea on my balcony, and nobody will disturb me. No interviews, no paparazzi, no ‘Nasboi do this, Nasboi do that.’ Just me, my family, and my money.”

The announcement has sparked mixed reactions online, with fans expressing both admiration for his self-awareness and sadness at the thought of losing one of Nigeria’s most entertaining voices.

Nasboi clarified that he is not retiring from creating content entirely but intends to step away from public life and the demands of celebrity status once his financial goal is met.

“I’ll still make music, I’ll still laugh, but it will be for me and the people I love—not for the timeline,” he added with his trademark humor.

As of now, Nasboi continues to thrive across comedy, music, and brand influencing, with multiple projects in the pipeline for 2026.

US Congressman Riley Moore Concludes “Very Productive” Visit to Nigeria Amid Allegations of Christian Genocide, Pledges Continued Accountability and International Scrutiny

 United States Congressman Riley Moore (R-WV), a vocal advocate for religious freedom and member of the House Appropriations Committee, has wrapped up an official congressional visit to Nigeria, describing the trip as “very productive” and reaffirming his commitment to addressing what he has termed a “genocide” against the country’s Christian population.

Moore, who represents West Virginia’s Second District, arrived in Nigeria on behalf of the American people and “in the name of the Lord,” as he stated in a post on his official X account (@RepRileyMoore). The visit, which included high-level meetings with Nigerian government officials and engagements with affected communities in Benue State—a hotspot for reported sectarian violence—marks a significant step in an ongoing U.S. congressional investigation into escalating attacks on Christians in Nigeria.

“The targeted killing of Christians in Nigeria is not just persecution; it is a violation of human rights that borders on genocide,” Moore said in a recent statement introducing a House resolution condemning the violence. “The United Nations’ failure to intervene has allowed this to continue for far too long. Thankfully, President Trump is not allowing the United States to turn a blind eye.” This trip follows President Trump’s October 31 directive to Moore and the House Appropriations Committee to probe the “slaughter of Christians” and report findings to the White House, amid threats of U.S. sanctions or even military action if the killings persist.

While Moore did not disclose specific details of his itinerary or discussions during the visit, sources indicate the delegation focused on documenting the scale of violence, consulting with non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and Christian leaders on the ground, and evaluating Nigeria’s response to extremist threats from groups like Boko Haram and Fulani militants. Reports suggest over 7,000 Christians have been killed in Nigeria this year alone, making it the deadliest country for Christians worldwide, according to advocacy groups like Faith and Liberty.

The Nigerian government has firmly denied allegations of genocide, emphasizing that violence affects communities across religious and ethnic lines and rejecting portrayals of the crisis as a targeted campaign against Christians. In response to Moore’s visit, former Aviation Minister Femi Fani-Kayode urged the congressman to adopt a “balanced view,” noting that Muslims have also fallen victim to attacks and calling for U.S. support rather than “insults and threats.”

Moore’s delegation was hosted by Nigeria’s National Security Adviser, Nuhu Ribadu, as part of bilateral security consultations. Earlier U.S.-Nigeria talks in Washington, D.C., saw Nigerian representatives push back against genocide claims, leading to the establishment of a joint U.S.-Nigeria working group approved by President Bola Tinubu to address insecurity collaboratively.

“Genocide can’t be ignored,” Moore emphasized in a Fox News interview last month, outlining potential U.S. responses including sanctions, aid freezes, and “kinetic military action” if perpetrators are not brought to justice. He has also warned that the U.S. will hold Nigerian authorities accountable, particularly regarding the safety of high-profile figures like Reverend Dachomo, a vocal critic of the violence who has faced online harassment and threats.

This visit underscores growing bipartisan concern in Congress over religious persecution in Nigeria and could influence U.S. policy, including aid allocations and diplomatic pressure. Moore plans to brief the House upon his return and release a detailed report on findings.
