    The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) on Tuesday rewarded ace musician Innocent Idibia popularly called 2baba with an award for helping to mobilise youths to register for the 2019 general elections.

    At an election summit where the award was given to 2baba in Abuja on Tuesday, INEC Chairman, Mahmood Yakubu said the 2019 general elections will be for young people who constitute 81 per cent of registered voters.

    Also among those given awards was Ambassador Ketil Karlson, Head of European Union to Nigeria and ECOWAS.

    Yakubu explained that another category of youths were drawn from the National Youth Service Corps and tertiary institutions to man the 119,973 polling centres in the country.

    He said, “About 22.3 million or 26 per cent of those who registered are officially described as students followed by the second category called farmers and fishermen to the tune of 13.6 million, that is 16.2 per cent of the registered voters.

    “But among the farmers and fishermen, the majority are also young people. So, those between the ages of 18 and 35 constitute 42.9 million, roughly 43 million of the registered voters which is 51 per cent of the total number of registered voters in the country.

    “But if you add the middle-aged category of 36-50 which is 25 million or 30 per cent, young people in this country constitute 81 per cent of the registered voters in Nigeria.”

    While commending Tubaba and others for mobilising youths to participate in the voter registration, the INEC boss urged them to continue to tell them to collect their Permanent Voter Cards.

     

  • The Nigerian political system has more criminals- 2face

    The Nigerian political system has more criminals- 2face

    Nigerian pop star, Innocent Idibia aka 2face has over the years gained the reputation for speaking his mind when it comes to issues of national development.

    The singer who has been at the fore front of mobilizing young Nigerians for the 2019 elections has declared derisively that Nigeria has a political system with more criminals.

     

    In his words: ”Nigeria is where it is today because from government to the people, they have failed to coordinate themselves.”

    “We have also not been able to psyche ourselves up, stand up and use the actual potential we have to the benefit of the country. We have not been able to do that, and I always talk about it. It boils down to the fact that we have a political system that has more criminals than those that have the interest of the country at heart. And that’s the reason we are where we are today”, he told Vanguard

    When asked to give a scorecard about how he fared in 2018, he said:”I will describe my 2018 as life. Every year has its ups and downs, every year has its high and low points. I definitely had my low and high points. But in all, majority of what we set out to achieve, we achieved them last year. All the mistakes we made last year, we have learnt from them as well. In fact, last year was cool,” he continued. “But for Nigeria, I don’t know whether last year was good or bad. Honestly, I don’t understand what’s happening in Nigeria . I see the news from different directions. But one thing I made out from last year was that for the past three years, we haven’t really known what’s going on in the country. That’s my standpoint. I don’t know whether the government is working or not. I don’t just know and I’m also sure that many Nigerians share that sentiment. One thing we share in common is the increasing rate of hardship in the land. For me, we faced a lot of hardships last year.”

     

     

  • Your career will end in 2019- Blackface to 2face

    Your career will end in 2019- Blackface to 2face

    The battle between two Nigerian music icons, Innocent Idibia, popularly known as 2face and his former label mate, Ahmedu Augustine a.k.a Blackface has been reignited following Blackface’s recent statement.

    Blackface had on countless occasions accused 2face of allegedly stealing his song

    He accused 2face of stealing “Let Somebody Love You”, a song 2face did with Bridget Kelly, an American singer and songwriter from New York City, as part of his Ascension album in 2014.

    Blackface took to his Instagram page on Wednesday 9th of January saying he will end 2face’ career in 2019.

    In his words, “can the WAR officially begin @official2baba? I say it has now officially. Even though you been taking secret shots but you can come out in the open now You know your career is going to end when this is finally over #youareoverwith2019”.

  • I believe in women power but men are still kings- Annie Idibia

    Actress and wife of pop star 2face, Annie Idibia has made her stance on feminism known.

    The mother of two noted that she fancies the idea of a woman with strength but not so much the idea of feminism which she does not subscribe to.

     

    Annie made this known when she hosted Rapid Fire Question, a show by 234 Star News.

     

    When asked her take on feminism, she said: “No, not really. But I believe in women power. I believe that men are still kings and women are queens. I don’t believe a woman is a king,” Annie Idibia shares while responding to a question.

    Idibia’s take on feminism is a strange contrast to how Chimamanda defines feminism.

     

    Adichie admits in a 2018 interview with CNN’s Christiane Amanpour how she became a feminist.

     

    “I don’t feel a connection to me. It’s not my story. I became a feminist because I grew up in Nigeria and I observed the world.

    “Why were women judged more harshly? Why were the cultural practices that had prestige only for men? It didn’t make any sense to me.”

     

     

     

     

  • Having children from different women almost made me depressed- 2face Idibia

    2face’s relationship with women has always been scrutinized by both the media and his fans.

    The ‘African Queen’ star who is married to Anne Idibia(nee Macaulay),has two baby mamas and a questionable love life.

    Five women with a charm of their own are known to have been involved with the tall singer while several other have been rumoured to have enjoyed a sizzling affair with the former member of the Plantashun Boiz .

    In a chat with Genevieve Magazine, the award winning entertainer said having children from different women almost made him depressed.

     

    ”Having so many children from different women at such a young age almost sent me into depression. I drank a lot because people laughed at me and called me names. Nobody cared that I was an artiste or that I hard worked so hard” he said.

     

    Recall that in a chat with TheNetng, a source on his management team had said 2face is done with baby mama drama

    “Everyone knows he is taking care of his kids. He’s a doting father and very much involved in raising all of them. And he remains friends with their mothers. But there’s no way he’s going tolet all that drama drag him down again. Not now, not tomorrow, not ever’

    “Don’t get it wrong’ he says, he’s still friend with them all, and they talk from time to time. In fact, he still saw Pero last time he went to the US. And they’ve attended several events together. he spends time with Annie and gets on well with Sunmbo. But as concerns romance, he’s moved on. Meaning even though he’s very much in a positive relationship with all of them, and they talk from time to time, it’s not like the romance is still on, or he’s planning to settle down with any of them”
