All is not well in the paradise of Nigeria’s music legend Innocent Tuface Idibia and his wife, Annie Macaulay-Idibia. The duo has been arguably one of the most admired and respectable celebrity couples in the country but Annie Idibia seemed not to care about all that as she has dragged her husband on social media, accusing him of having an affair with his first baby mama, Pero Adeniyi.
No one saw this coming, however, the actress, in a series of Instagram Stories on Thursday night, September 2, 2021, stunned Nigerians as she unleashed her anger on the African Queen crooner over his relationship with the mother of three out of his seven kids, Pero. She suggested that there is more between them than just being cordial and that she is tired of playing the fool.
In the IG rant, Annie Idibia also said that even though she had been married to the iconic musician for years now his family has never welcomed her as one of them despite her efforts to be on the same page with them. She also said his other baby manas use their children with the superstar to gain access to him for other reasons.
“What kind of man takes his kids to Disney and spend nights in the same apartment with his kids and their mother? How many times have you gone to see your kids with Pero? and she stays with you and the kids under the same roof for nights? Or is it when your brother @hi.idibia housed you, your kids, and Pero under the roof ??! I can go on and on!
“Your baby mamas constantly use your children as an excuse for all sorts of rubbish. I try to stay gracious. You are not the first man on the planet to have kids by different women. You can do better. Everything I do is to show the good human that you are. But today, this move done by you, Efe, Frankie, and your family is unacceptable.
“I am a patient woman. I am not a fool, Innocent. Your family never loved me from the beginning. No matter how hard I tried. I was never worthy to them. I have made so many sacrifices for you and all your children. God knows I have I tried.”
This drama may be put off as a PR stunt initially as Nigerians have seen this kind of thing play out over and over again. But as this came to light on Thursday night, social media investigators quickly went to her Instagram bio page and realized that the actress has actually deleted her husband’s name from her bio. The name which initially read “Annie Macaulay Idibia” now reads “Annie Macaulay”.
In another twist, Annie Idibia’s elder brother seems to be distancing himself from whatever is happening as he publicly disassociated himself from his sister. A video that was shared by Tuface’s brother, Charles Idibia, shows Annie’s brother, Uduak, saying he does not want to be associated with his sister or her brand going forward.
It is not clear how the video is related to whatever is happening in the Tubaba family. It is also unclear when the video was shot – whether before the current unfortunate events or after Annie Idibia called out her husband on IG.
However, at the time of this report, the Implication hitmaker, Tuface Idibia is yet to respond to the ongoing saga.

Paul Okoye vows legal action over defamatory allegations by X user
Nigerian music star, Paul Okoye, popularly known as Rudeboy of P-Square, has threatened legal action against a social media user who accused him of misconduct involving a domestic staff.
The controversy began after photos from the 25th birthday celebration of Rudeboy’s wife, Ivy Ifeoma, made the rounds on X (formerly Twitter).
An X user, @Zoyabloms, who identified as ‘Evil Feminist,’ mocked the couple’s age difference, while another user, @darkskinnedtemi, also identifying as a feminist, escalated the conversation with damaging claims.
The X user suggested cheating allegations on Rudeboy with his housemaid.
One account, identified as @chubbiedivah, alleged that the singer coerced their household help, suggesting she was underage at the time, further claiming he expelled his then-wife and sister-in-law after being confronted.
The post quickly caught the attention of Rudeboy’s fans, who drew his attention to it.
In a swift reaction, the “Reason With Me” hitmaker vowed to track down the user and hold them accountable.
He wrote, “I hardly reply, but you see this one @chubbiedivah, if you like go private or leave X, I will find you, I will use every necessary means, power, resources and money.
“You will face the law, I will use you to set an example, a scapegoat. Your only way out is to leave the surface of this earth and relocate to space. To everyone that brought my attention to her tweet, thank you.”
Following his response, the user in question deactivated both her X and Instagram accounts, seemingly in an attempt to avoid further fallout.
Single mothers can’t raise boys properly – Jim Iyke
Nollywood actor Jim Iyke has stirred a bit of controversy after sharing his opinion about single mothers, stating that they cannot raise boys properly. He declared, “A woman can’t raise a man, they’re not built for it. A single mother cannot raise men properly.”
You need a man that you trust, and there has to be a male presence because women are naturally built to nurture, to love. If you’re going to raise a man, he’s going to be everything like that man who left you. You need someone who would discipline him and teach him how to grind.
Recalling an incident while on holiday in France with his son, the actor shared how he handled a situation where his son was bullied during a football game.
I was at a beach at the side of France once with my son. He was playing with a bunch of kids and I think he got tired. He’s a terrible football player so they dribbled the hell out of him and took his ball. When he came back to me crying, I didn’t even act like I knew him and I told him to be a man. One of the mothers of the sons stepped aside to watch how I handled him. This is why you need a man.
His comments have since sparked mixed reactions, with many arguing that single mothers are fully capable of raising well-rounded men.
See reactions below:
Women in general don suffer shaaaa. Every eke market day, women this, women that.
Lost my dad at Age 11- my mother raised my siblings and I! The farthest thing I’m from is a weak man, if I tell you what I have been through in this life and what I have achieved, someone who has their both parents fit craze if them go through half. Single mothers raise weak men! Mumu talk!
Don’t repeat that, my grandma raised five sons and they’re all handsome, successful, and lovely men – a true testament to her parenting!
It’s not that a mother can’t raise a boy; she absolutely can. But every boy still needs a man’s input at some point in his life. I was raised by my mum and I turned out strong, but I can also recognise there were certain touches and lessons I missed, the kind that usually come from a father. That balance matters.
Recall that Jim Iyke, in a recent interview, described modern feminism as a crime. The 48-year-old also addressed the “double standards” he believes is the bane of the movement, affirming his strong disapproval of what he thinks it is: a two-faced approach to gender dynamics.
