2BABA PROPOSES TO EDO LAWMAKER NATASHA OSAWARU

2BABA PROPOSES TO EDO LAWMAKER NATASHA OSAWARU Unlike his proposal to Annie on Valentine’s Day in 2012, his engagement to Ms Osawaru took place on the eve of the romantic holiday 13 years after. On Valentine’s Day in 2012, Nigerian music star Innocent ‘2Baba’ Idibia proposed to his now divorced wife, Annie Macaulay in front of friends and family. Dropping to one knee at Club 10—owned by football legend Jay-Jay Okocha—he presented her with a ring. Thirteen years later, history took an unexpected turn—the 49-year-old once again knelt in proposal, not to renew his vows to Annie, but to another woman: Natasha Osawaru, the Deputy Majority Leader of the Edo State House of Assembly. Unlike his proposal to Annie, which happened on Valentine’s Day, his engagement to Ms Osawaru took place on the eve of the romantic holiday. The ‘African Queen’ hitmaker announced Ms Osawaru as his fiancée following his separation from Annie Macaulay, his wife of 12 years. The singer proposed to the graduate of Igbinedion University in Edo State in front of friends in a viral video. In the viral video, the singer and Ms Osawaru were seen dancing together inside a house with friends. The video also captured the moment the singer performed a song before presenting a ring to the lawmaker who holds a Master’s in Film Production from Full Sail University in the United States, after which they shared a long embrace. In the video, he was also spraying the 30-year-old lawmaker with N1,000 notes. The 49-year-old singer’s relationship with Ms Osawaru, a member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), became the talk of the town after their photos and videos surfaced online. On Monday, he unexpectedly appeared at the State House of Assembly during a plenary session, sparking speculation and seemingly confirming his romance with Ms Osawaru. Nigerian Singer Innocent Idibia, popularly known as 2baba was seen at the Edo State House of Assembly during plenary on Monday. However, on Tuesday, 2Baba put all doubts to rest by announcing on his Instagram page that he’d married the lawmaker. He professed his love for her: “To Whom It May Concern. I do yarn my truth. Feel free to continue alleging. We shall all be alright. Natasha is a young, brilliant, fabulous woman who has been unfairly labelled a home breaker. Allegedly, I have been seeing so many things, so many people coming up with their false narratives and malicious nonsense after I posted that stuff that I posted. ”Yes, I posted what I posted. Hon. Natasha has nothing to do with what happened between me and Annie in our marriage. Yes, I love her; she is fantastic; I want to marry her’’. BackgroundThe singer proposed to Ms Osawaru seventeen days after ending his relationship with Annie, which began as a friendship in 1999 before evolving into romance. Annie gained widespread recognition in 2004 after starring in 2Baba’s iconic ‘African Queen’ music video. The couple welcomed their first daughter, Isabella, in 2008. On Valentine’s Day in 2012, 2Baba proposed to Annie in Lagos, and they had a private wedding the same year. Their grand white wedding took place in Dubai on 23 March 2013, and they welcomed their second daughter, Olivia, in 2014. They faced several challenges throughout their marriage, primarily due to 2Baba’s past relationship with Pero Adeniyi, the mother of three of his children. Despite public controversies and periods of tension, the couple renewed their vows in 2022 to mark their 10th anniversary, reaffirming their commitment and remaining one of Nigeria’s most celebrated celebrity couples. Since 2Baba announced their divorce on 27 January, Annie has remained absent from social media.

NOLLYWOOD’S MOST FEARSOME WOMEN: ‘WICKED’, BOLD, UNFORGETTABLE

NOLLYWOOD’S MOST FEARSOME WOMEN‘WICKED’, BOLD, UNFORGETTABLE In the early days of Nollywood, there was a special group of actresses who printed their names on audiences’ minds not as heroines or damsels in distress but as the ultimate villains. These women skilfully portrayed cruel stepmothers, deceitful mothers-in-law, and terrible mothers, causing audiences to speak their names in wonder and horror. In this feature, Weekend Trust revisits the legendary roles of Patience Ozokwor, Franca Brown, Clarion Chukwura, and others who turned villainy into an art form. Patience Ozokwor Patience Ozokwor, also known as Mama G, is perhaps the most famous Nollywood actress associated with the evil stepmother and overbearing mother-in-law roles. She played a variety of villainous characters who often resorted to manipulation, emotional abuse, and outright cruelty to control family dynamics. An example will be the role Patience played in the popular Nollywood film ‘Market seller’ where she manipulated her daughter Omotola Ekedinde into destroying the marriages of Bob Manuel Udokwu and Kanayo. O. Kanayo. In another old classic titled ‘Submission’, Patience Ozokwor played the role of an evil mother who was having an intimate affair with one of her daughter’s husbands and attempted to indulge in another affair with her other daughter’s (Stella Damasus) husband (Zack Orji). Ozokwor’s portrayal of wickedness was so real that many couldn’t separate her from her roles; however, the actress refuted the claims, stating she was nothing like her on-screen persona. Still, for a generation, Mama G became synonymous with terror. Inside Delta community where bicycles are essential commodityNnamdi Kanu’s N20bn defamation suit against police spokesman, Adejobi‘wicked’, bold, unforgettable; nollywood’s most fearsome women Sola Sobowale Sola Sobowale is one of Nollywood’s fiercest females, known for her feisty and memorable performances. Sobowale’s charging presence and devoted delivery dominate every scene, whether she’s playing a troublesome mother-in-law, a ruthless businesswoman, or a tough-talking queen. In Super Story: Oh Father, Oh Daughter (2001), she portrayed the wise and wicked Toyin Tomato, a mean husband snatcher and gold digger who was ruthless to the men in her path. In The Wedding Party (2016), she played the theatrical and overprotective mother-in-law who would do anything to influence her daughter’s wedding. However, it was in King of Boys (2018) that she sealed her status as Nollywood royalty. In an exceptional performance, she blended raw energy, emotion, and strength as the feared and merciless matriarch Eniola Salami. With an ability to balance strength, cruelty, and vulnerability, Sola Sobowale is forever one of Nollywood’s most celebrated matriarchs. Franca Brown If Patience Ozokwor was fire, Franca Brown was ice. Her villains weren’t loud or dramatic. Instead, they were cold, calculating, and emotionally detached, making them even scarier. Unlike Patience, whose wickedness could be seen outrightly, Franca was best at hiding her negative thoughts till it was time to exert evil on those who crossed her parts. An iconic role of Franca Brown is the one she portrayed in the Nollywood classic ‘The Only Solution’. In this epic drama, Franca Brown was able to convince her husband ‘Pete Edochie’ to use their first daughter for money rituals as she needed to keep up with her affluent lifestyle. As if that wasn’t enough, she let Edochie take a second wife, who will later be used to renew their cult vows. In Tears and Sorrow (1996), she played a heartless stepmother who used emotional and physical abuse to suppress her stepdaughter’s potential. Brown’s portrayal of this character was so believable that many children dreaded having stepmothers in real life. Clarion Chukwura Clarion Chukwura is another of Nollywood’s most unforgettable matriarchs, known for playing bold and often fearsome characters. With her striking beauty and powerful presence, she brought elegance to even the most villainous roles. One of her most iconic roles…

NIGERIAN MUSICIANS WHO FEEL FROM FAME

NIGERIAN MUSCIANS WHO FELL FROM FAME In the fast-paced Nigerian music industry, many artists rise to stardom only to experience sudden declines in their careers. While some make comebacks, others face challenges that prevent them from maintaining the level of success they once had. In this article, we will explore the stories of Nigerian musicians like Dammy Krane, Sean Tizzle, Tekno, Klever Jay, and Runtown—who once topped the charts but are now navigating periods of struggle. Eyes Of Lagos reports, Though Dammy Krane has tried to revive his career with new music and collaborations, the impact of the scandal has lingered, and he has not regained the level of success he once enjoyed. Several years passed without major hits, and fans began to question his whereabouts. Though he returned with new music in 2019 and 2020, Sean Tizzle’s popularity has never reached the height it once did. His failure to maintain consistency and follow-up with hits has led to a decline in his fanbase, making him one of the most notable examples of a career that went from grace to grass. Despite the controversy, Tekno tried to stay relevant by releasing new music, but his career has not quite returned to its previous level of success. While he is still active in the music scene, his peak seems to have passed, and he has faced increasing competition from newer artists. Despite several releases, Klever Jay never managed to get back to the same level of fame and recognition he once had. His lack of consistent hits and the ever-changing nature of the music industry left him struggling to reclaim his place in the spotlight. However, Runtown’s career took a hit after his legal battles with his former record label, Eric Many. The dispute led to a hiatus, and Runtown struggled to keep up the momentum. Though he returned with new music in 2020, it wasn’t enough to completely revive his career. His absence from the limelight and ongoing legal troubles contributed to a significant decline in his popularity, showing how even top stars can falter when faced with personal and professional obstacles. ConclusionThe stories of Dammy Krane, Sean Tizzle, Tekno, Klever Jay, and Runtown serve as important reminders of the challenges that come with fame in the ever-evolving Nigerian music industry. While many of these artists once enjoyed massive success, they have faced personal and professional setbacks that led to their fall from grace. Whether it’s scandal, lack of consistency, legal battles, or simply the intense competition in the industry, these musicians’ experiences highlight the unpredictability of a music career. For aspiring musicians, the rise and fall of these stars also offer valuable lessons about maintaining relevance, staying grounded, and adapting to change in order to sustain long-term success.

In the end, Miss Denmark, Theilvig, claimed the title, succeeding Miss Universe 2023, Sheynnis Palacios of Nicaragua. Following the competition, Adetshina took to Instagram to share her appreciation. The beauty queen recalled how Nigerians supported her during her lowest, and how Africa as a continent taught her the power of unity in the pursuit of success. She wrote, “To Nigeria: THANK YOU is not enough for all the support you’ve shown. You picked me up when I was at my lowest. I’ve never opened up much but I was ready to give up on my life but you became my strength. On days I never wanted to fight you gave me the strength to fight. I’m so grateful for each and everyone for walking this journey with me. She also addressed the African continent, saying, “To Africa: thank you for showing your love and support. As much as I represent Nigeria, Africa fought for me. My voice, my story touched many and brought us together. This journey has taught me the power of Unity. I want us to live in a society where we can all accept and celebrate one another.” Chidimma Adetshina concluded by emphasising that this moment marks the beginning of her journey, not its end.
