2Face Is Not Comfortable Seeing Annie Around Me

 Nigerian fashion designer, Jeremiah Ogbodo, aka Swanky J, has berated singer, 2Face Idibia for not resolving the misunderstanding between him and his wife, Annie Idibia

He said the singer’s attitude makes him wonder whether he is comfortable with his friendship with his wife.

Swanky stated this on the second season of the Young, Famous & African reality show, during a chat with 2Face and other cast of the show.

He said, “I kind of feel weird that he [2Face] didn’t reach out to me during the whole stretch of me and Annie, like situation. And I just really wanted to know like what’s up?

“I feel like the quickest person that would have been able to resolve our misunderstanding would probably have been him [2Face].

“I just felt like you were not there for me at that time. I just really wanted to get clarity, like, do you f*ck with this relationship at all?

Angered by his question, 2Face fumed, “I feel some type of way for you to ask me that, though. Both of you are adults, right? I did not even know what was going on. I’m still friends with you. I’m still her husband. I don’t give a f*ck about the beef you people have. Squash that sh*t. You are not going to put me in between any nonsense.”

2Face said Swanky’s question was disrespectful, adding that he could have reached him via telephone or other means to call his attention to the ongoing beef between him and his wife.

DAILY POST reported that Annie Idibia in a chat with Nadia on the second season of the Young, Famous & African reality show, revealed that she and her best friend on the first season of the show, Swanky J, no longer talk.

According to her, the fashion designer is probably avoiding her because of the many scandals around her and for him not to be dragged into them which would be bad for his brand.

I Will Cheat Again...2Face Confessed

 

Nigerian singer Tuface Idibia has said that he will cheat on his wife again. The revelation came during a recent interview with a local media outlet.

2Baba has claimed that men engage in infidelity with women they don’t love because their sexual desires overpower their emotional connections.

When asked if he would ever cheat on his wife again, Tuface said, “I can’t promise that I won’t cheat again. I’m only human.”

During the second season of the Young, Famous and African reality show, 2Baba expressed that when men cheat on their partners with other women, it doesn’t necessarily mean they desire a romantic relationship with those individuals.

In a conversation with Nadia, with his wife, actress Annie Idibia, present, the singer of the hit song ‘African Queen’ revealed that men are primarily driven by the desire for sexual gratification.

He stated, “Whether you like it or not, it’s how men are wired. A man can love a woman intensely, but sometimes, his sexual urges take control.”

Nadia interjected, saying, “No, it’s his mind, not his sexual urges. They’re not independent entities.”

Tuface added, “Alright, however, you see it, he will act upon those urges. But he won’t even care about that person. He just wants to satisfy that craving.”

Annie became upset and asked, “Are you speaking generally or about yourself? Is that your personal experience or just your belief?”

The singer responded, “It’s what I believe.”

Annie Idibia, who listened to her husband express his views on infidelity, admitted that she felt heartbroken upon hearing his perspective.

We Will Set The Party On Fire If Tinubu Includes Kwankwaso In His Cabinet - APC Chieftain Warns

 Kwamanda said the party in the entire north-west zone would not welcome Kwankwaso and will withdraw their support for Tinubu if Kwankwaso is given a portfolio in his government.

A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kano, Abdulmajid Kwamanda, has urged the President-Elect, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu not to include the presidential candidate of the New Nigeria Peoples Party, Rabiu Kwankwaso in his cabinet.

He made the appeal after both politicians were reported to have held a meeting.

Addressing reporters in Kano on Thursday, May 18, Kwamanda said the party in the entire north-west zone would not welcome Kwankwaso and will withdraw their support for Tinubu if Kwankwaso is given a portfolio in his government.

He also warned that if they set the party on fire, even the president-elect would be unable to put it off if Kwankwaso is appointed in his cabinet.

He said;

“We in the north-west do not welcome Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso to our party APC. We do not accept the idea of Bola Tinubu giving him any appointment even as low as a messenger in our dear party.

“Should Tinubu ignore our outcry and appoint Kwankwaso, we are going to disrupt the entire APC in the north and withdraw our support for him.

“If we set the party on fire, not even Tinubu as a president can put out that fire. We are north and the people are our people.

“We have invested all our efforts, integrity and dignity in the North to mobilize the people to vote for Tinubu, they refused to vote for a fellow northerner just for him to win in the region and now come and embrace our major opposition. We will not accept that.

“We assure Tinubu that we will turn our backs on him if he decides to ignore our call. We don’t welcome Kwankwaso to our party and don’t give him any appointments.”

Lagos CP Visits Okada Man Brutaliaed By Police Officers In Viral Video

 

The Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Idowu Owohunwa, on Thursday, visited the okada rider, who was assaulted by some police officers in a viral video.

Three policemen were seen in a viral video brutalising the Okada man. One of the policemen was seen hitting his baton on the man as another one was pushing him away. The man, who tried to wrestle his bike with the policemen, sustained injury as he held on to his forehead where blood was seen gushing out from.

The third policeman rode away on the victim’s bike while the two others immediately left the scene in a tricycle.

According to the State Police Public Relations Officer, Benjamin Hundeyin, in a series of tweets via his Twitter account, said that Owohunwa condemned the policemen’s actions and told the public that disciplinary action had already been taken against the men.

He said, “CP Idowu Owohunwa today visited the young man involved in this incident and members/leadership of Hausa community in Abattoir Market, Agege.

Gov Matawalle Under Investigation For N70b Fraud – EFCC

 

THE Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) says it is currently probing Zamfara State Governor, Bello Matawalle, over alleged N70bn fraud.

The anti-graft agency also confirmed that a former Minister of Power, Sale Mamman, who was recently arrested by the operatives of the commission over alleged N22bn fraud is still in detention.

Chairman of the anti-graft agency, Abdulrasheed Bawa, made the disclosure at a press briefing today, urging Nigerians not to be swayed by Matawalle’s recent outburst.

Th governor had levelled allegations against Bawa and dared the commission to go after members of President Muhammadu Buhari’s cabinet.

But Bawa, who spoke through the Director of Public Affairs of the commission, Osita Nwajah, explained that the agency was not supposed to dignify Matawalle with a response but it did in order to set the record straight.

“It is intriguing that Matawalle would want to take on the role of a supervisor, who tells the EFCC whom to investigate. Is this a case of a thief saying he must not be touched until other thieves are caught… He is under investigation for N70 billion fraud.

“Unfortunately, it is not within Matawalle’s remit to dictate to the EFCC whom to arrest, when and where. Suspects in the custody of the Commission cut across all sectors and social class.

“The qualification to get a space in the Commission’s detention facility, is to commit a crime. It does not matter whether you are a priest , Imam, Governor or minister.

“Currently, a former minister of power is in the custody of the EFCC over a N22billion corruption allegation. That conveniently did not attract Matawalle’s attention,” Nwajah said.
