Annie Macaulay reclaims 2baba’s name

Published

on

Actress Annie Macaulay has been leaning fully into a new phase of her life since the crash of her marriage to popular singer, Innocent Idibia, aka 2baba.

Although the divorce has yet to be formally concluded, both parties appear to be settling into their separate lives. For Annie, that transition has been marked by deliberate self-care and a renewed focus on family.

Shortly after the split, the actress embarked on a wellness retreat that took her through Qatar and Singapore, before extending her journey to Cape Town, South Africa. Since then, she has continued to prioritise her daughters, often sharing moments that highlight their bond and her commitment to their well-being.

Her social media posts have also carried undertones of reflection and self-worth. In September, she shared a text image that read, “I hope my daughter doesn’t accept things I’ve accepted, that she knows her worth from the start and that no matter what, she always has me in her corner.”

In December, shortly after a video surfaced online showing 2Baba and his wife, Natasha, in an altercation that ended with him being led away by policemen, Annie updated her Instagram Stories with posts many followers interpreted as subtle reactions. One read, “Sometimes, trying to prove that you are the best is an insult.” Another featured burning matchsticks, with a single stick pulled away from the rest, bearing the text, “The power of stepping away.”

She also stirred reactions when she used 2Baba’s song, ‘Enter the Place’, to promote an event in Cape Town.

Fans were further puzzled when she changed her Instagram handle back to Annie Idibia. She had previously dropped the surname after 2Baba announced their separation in a public post on Instagram, thanking friends and supporters while signing off with her maiden name. “God Bless you for the outpouring of love… Lots of LOVE. Annie Uwana Macaulay,” she wrote at the time.

Annie officially acknowledged the separation in May 2025 during the 17th Headies Awards in Lagos, where she initially introduced herself as “Annie Idi…” before correcting it to “Annie Macaulay.”

Rest every four hours, FRSC issues safety guide for fasting motorists

Published

on

The Federal Road Safety Corps, on Friday, urged motorists who are participating in the fasting periods, to ensure that they take rest at intervals, to avoid road crashes.

The FRSC Commander in-charge of the Sagamu-Ore-Benin Expressway corridor, Mr Nasir Mohammed, gave the advice in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria in Ota.

He noted that the advice had become expedient following the commencement of fasting periods by both Christian and Muslim faithfuls.

NAN reports that Catholic faithfuls had commenced lenten season with the distribution of Ash on Wednesday, which period is marked by 40 days fasting.

In the same vein, Muslim faithfuls had also began observation of Ramadan in the Islamic calendar, which period is also marked by fasting.

Mohammed urged motorists to be cautious of fatigue and possible dehydration during the fasting periods, and ensure that they take hours of rest before returning to the steering.

He also warned motorists against over speeding and wrongful overtaking, which could lead to tragedy, adding that drivers must strictly adhere to all safety rules while on the road.

“We are appealing to motorists, especially Muslims and Christians who are fasting, to always observe the rest after every four hours of driving, to prevent avoidable loss of lives.

“Also, all motorists are enjoined to drive to stay alive; Wishing all safer roads and fuller life.” he said.

Meanwhile, she assured members of the public that further updates would be communicated at the appropriate time as credible findings emerge from ongoing investigations.
