    Annie Macaulay confirms divorce from 2Baba at Headies awards

    Actress Annie Macaulay publicly confirmed her divorce from musician Innocent “2Baba” Idibia during the 17th Headies Awards ceremony held on Sunday night.

    The movie star, who had been silent on the matter for months, finally reacted while co-presenting the award for Best Afrobeat Singer of the Year alongside Farooq Oreagba, popularly celebrated as the “King of Steeze” from the 2024 Ojude Oba festival.

    While introducing herself on stage, Annie stumbled over her married name before quickly correcting it, signalling her return to her maiden name.

    “Annie Idi… Oh! Sorry, Annie Macaulay. Hey, single ladies!” she said, prompting cheers and applause from the audience.

    The confirmation follows signs earlier this year when Annie reappeared on social media in March — nearly two months after 2Baba announced their separation — and signed off with her full name, Annie Uwana Macaulay, notably dropping Idibia.

    Annie and 2Baba, who have two children, officially ended their marriage in January 2025 after the singer publicly disclosed their split.

    Since then, 2Baba has proposed to Edo State lawmaker Natasha Osawaru and introduced her to his family and kinsmen in Benue State, fueling speculation about an impending wedding.

  • Why some men drool over fat women!

    Why some men drool over fat women!

    If you believe that it’s only svelte women that grab all the good-looking men, leaving the unsavoury ones to fat women, you are wrong! More than ever before, women with more bounce-to-the-ounce, are being encouraged to flaunt what they have.  All over the world, there have also been beauty pageants specially designed for voluptuous women.

    Afterall there are lots of men that salivate over fleshy women.  Like Kay, for instance.  A friend of several years, he’d always been full of praises for them.

    “It is really exciting when a well-endowed woman gets undressed when you’re in the room.  The sight of very fleshy boobs tumbling free from the bra always want me to bury my head between her cleavage.

    “Heaven! Tumbling free from the bra,” he whooped, rubbing his hands with glee.

    Susan doesn’t joke with her food in spite of the size 24 figure. She was the brunt of cruel jibes when she was in school.

    “But when I entered university, I didn’t really give a hoot about my figure”, she told me. “By this time, I’d had a handful of boyfriends. One actually said he loved me until I was eventually dumped because, according to him, people always point and stare at you when we go out.”
    Simply put, he thought I was an embarrassment.  What a kick in the teeth!  What did I do?  I reverted to sweet, fattening food for comfort.  And put on more weight.

    “When I discovered that there were some girls fatter than me, with tons of confidence on campus, I forgot my inhibitions. So, when I met this skinny man at a party who said I was gorgeous, I didn’t shrink back.

    “His name was Phil and his sincere compliments won me over in an instant.  It was the first of many feel-good phrases he heaped on me and I lapped it up.  We became intimate almost immediately and he couldn’t have enough of me. ‘I like the feeling of a woman in control’, he told me, ‘and I love big women and their beautiful fat flesh squashing me.  Skinny girls are just bony and full of themselves while you are amazing.  You care about me, not selfish about your looks!”

    In case you haven’t noted, there is an increase in demand for big women in recent years.  And the service they offer include ‘squashing’. According to Jenny, a fat happy Londoner, “I was seriously contemplating getting a gastric band to curb my obesity and researching the options opened to me on the internet when I noticed the BBW site – Big Beautiful Women.

    I clicked on it and found a website with pictures of fat women posing in lovely dresses and even their undies.  And they were bigger than me.  In other words, while I’d spent my adult years cowering and lacking in confidence, the women looked happy and proud.  And male admirers were sending them adoring messages.  It was like I’d stumbled into a magical new world where obese women were goddesses, their curves worshipped.

    “It was through the site that I learnt that lots of men love having a big woman sit on them. Such women are called squashers. I’d never heard of such a thing, but I read how some men craved the feel of a big women in sexy lingerie pining down their body.  It was seen to be erotic and relaxing.  And what was more exciting was, the site explained, a lot of demands for squashers in Britain.

    As ridiculous as it sounded, I decided to give it a go. Before I could change my mind, I put a snap of me in sexy lingerie on the site and was amazed at the response. The site explained that squashers were not prostitutes and couldn’t be groped by the squashee. And as many squashes loved eating too, I could be treated to scrumptious meals before dates.

    “When I finally met a prospective squashee, I was relieved he didn’t look like a pervert.  As a matter of fact, he was a shy businessman, slim and middle aged.  Later in bed, I took off my dress and he lay on the bed, and feeling really self-conscious. I lowered my big bottom unto his chest.  It was a big scary putting all my weight on his skinny ribs.  ‘I’m not breaking any bones am I?”, I teased him.  He managed to shake his head while I straddled him, bending down to press my cleavage against his face.  He seemed to be enjoying it.

    “He told me honestly that I was gorgeous.  It felt so good to be appreciated.  Later, when we’d known each other a while, he confessed that, ‘I feel strong and masculine because I’m bearing your weight.  Yet I feel dominated too – when you sit on me.  I can’t even breath freely until you stand up”.  It was as if by being helpless, they found freedom.

    “A lot saw my big squashy body as motherly and comforting…”

    Talk about being a lucky star shining brightly above for everyone.  When I discussed Jenny’s experience, with Susan she found it amusing.  “I haven’t had that kind of adventure yet. For now, I’m happy to be big, proud, curvy and confident I don’t need to pack my bum on any man’s chest to be sexually fulfilled”.

  • Dear Bunmi, I miss my ex… can I tell him?

    Dear Bunmi, I miss my ex… can I tell him?

    Dear Bunmi, I recently made contact with an ex-boyfriend on Facebook.

    He was my first love. We were together for four years from the age of 17 to 21, until we had to go our separate ways to further our studies.

    I’m now 36 and happily married with four lovely children. My ex also has a wife and a family.

    I often think about him but not in a romantic way, but as a potential good friend who I miss having in my life.

    Do you think it’s Ok for me to tell him this or, given our past, should I keep my thoughts to myself?

    Gladys, by e-mail.

    Dear Gladys,

    Don’t even go there!   Even if your feelings are entirely innocent, you never know where they might lead.   There’s no point revisiting the past.   How would you feel if you found out your husband had been in touch with an ex?   I expect you wouldn’t be thrilled and might read more into it than a conversation between two old friends.

    On the other hand, are you prepared to talk to your husband honestly about it, so there are no secrets or misunderstandings?   If you don’t feel you can do that, then forget it!

    Share your problems and release your burden, write now to Dear Bunmi: bunmsof@yahoo.co.uk

  • 2face Idibia arrives Edo gov poll tribunal with lover Natasha

    2face Idibia arrives Edo gov poll tribunal with lover Natasha

    ABUJA– Popular Nigerian musician, Innocent Idibia, also known as 2Face or 2Baba, on Wednesday, stormed the Edo State Governorship Election Petition Tribunal sitting in Abuja.

    He arrived at the tribunal with his new lover, Natasha Osawaru, who is the lawmaker representing Egor Constituency at the Edo State House of Assembly.

    The tribunal is set to deliver judgement on the petition the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, and its candidate, Asuerinme Ighodalo, filed to nullify the election of Governor Monday Okpebholo of the All Progressives Congress, APC.

    Osawaru, who is the Deputy Majority Leader of the Edo State Assembly, was elected on the platform of the PDP.

    In January, 2Face announced his separation from his wife, Annie.

    His subsequent proposal to Natasha the next month gained widespread attention.

    Since then, the singer and the lawmaker have been spotted together in public on multiple occasions, including shopping outings and social engagements.

    The Edo lawmaker recently updated her Instagram bio to reflect the singer’s surname, Idibia.

  • Oluwadolarz’s fiancée announces break up over alleged infidelity

    Oluwadolarz’s fiancée announces break up over alleged infidelity

    Social media content creator Ifeluv has announced the end of her relationship with her fiancé and baby daddy, Oluwadolarz.

    The breakup comes just four months after Oluwadolarz proposed to Ifeluv.

    In a post shared on her Instagram page Tuesday evening, Ifeluv accused the singer of infidelity and financial irresponsibility, claiming he failed to fulfill his promises after their engagement.

    In the lengthy statement now deleted, she said: “I left him the first time because of cheating. He spent two years trying to convince me that he had changed.

    “Meanwhile, I have been taking 85 per cent responsibility for our child because he is broke most of the time. Just living a fake life and chasing anything in a skirt. He absolutely has nothing to his name. If you give him an advert deal, he won’t deliver.

    “Brands keep threatening him, and every time he sees me achieving something, he starts crying because he hates it. But guess what? I make my own money.

    “I rarely even visit him. He even embarrassed me online with a public apology, and I let it slide, accepting his proposal—only to go pick up my son at his place and find his actress, Lola, hiding in the bathroom. And this guy looked me dead in the eye and said nothing was going on! This man was my absolute first. But now? It’s over.”

  • I’m raising my sons to respect women, fight toxic masculinity – Chimamanda Adichie

    I’m raising my sons to respect women, fight toxic masculinity – Chimamanda Adichie

    Acclaimed author Chimamanda Adichie has expressed her commitment to raising her sons with values that promote gender equality and respect for women.

    Speaking in an interview with BBC’s Emma Barnett published on Wednesday via YouTube, Adichie addressed concerns about toxic masculinity and the role parents play in shaping future generations.

    “I’m determined to raise good men. I’m thinking about how to make them never feel entitled to women’s bodies,” Adichie stated.

    She emphasised the need for boys to have positive role models, lamenting that while young girls today have strong female figures to look up to, boys often lack the same.

    “In general, little girls now have women in public life they can admire. But I don’t think boys have that in the same way. That space is instead occupied by noxious characters and ideas. I wish the good men would stand up,” she said.

    Adichie, known for her feminist advocacy through works such as We Should All Be Feminists, believes masculinity should evolve to align with equality.

    “Culture doesn’t make us, we make culture. We can remake masculinity in a way that is compatible with equality. It can be done,” she said.

    Beyond masculinity, the celebrated writer also reflected on the impact of motherhood on her life and creativity. She admitted that becoming a mother influenced her writing process and, at one point, led to a creative block.

    “I don’t like to use the expression ‘writer’s block’ because I’m superstitious, but it happened when I became pregnant. Something changed, and I don’t think it was just physiological,” she said.

    Her latest novel, Dream Count, marks her return to fiction after more than a decade. The book delves into women’s lives and experiences, tackling themes such as gender, race, and health with what she calls “radical honesty.”

  • Charlotte Brontë declines marriage

    Charlotte Brontë declines marriage

    Charlotte Brontë writes to the Reverend Henry Nussey, declining marriage. The 23-year-old Brontë told him that he would find her “romantic and eccentric” and not practical enough to be a clergyman’s wife. Rather than marry, Brontë struggled as a teacher and governess to help support her brother Branwell’s literary aspirations. In the end, Branwell’s excesses destroyed him; his sisters, though, all became literary figures.

    Charlotte was born in 1816, one of six siblings born to an Anglican clergyman. When she was five, the family moved to the remote village of Haworth on the moors of Yorkshire. The gloomy parsonage produced some of the best-known novels in English literature. Brontë’s mother died in 1821, and Charlotte and her older sisters were sent to the Cowan Bridge School, a cheap boarding school for daughters of the clergy. However, her two sisters fell ill and died, and Charlotte was brought home, where she and her remaining siblings, Branwell, Emily, and Anne, invented and wrote about elaborate fantasy worlds to amuse themselves.

    Shortly after declining the proposal of Reverend Nussey, Charlotte went to Brussels with her sister Emily to study languages and school administration. Returning to the parsonage at Haworth, the sisters attempted to set up their own school, but no pupils registered. Meanwhile, their adored brother Branwell was becoming a heavy drinker and opium user. When Anne got him a job teaching with her at a wealthy manor, he lost both their positions after a tryst with the mother of the house. He eventually died after accidentally setting his bed on fire.

    In 1846, Charlotte ran across some poems that Emily had written, which led to the revelation that all three sisters were closet poets. The sisters published their own book, Poems by Currer, Ellis and Acton Bell. Only two copies sold, but publishers became interested in the sisters’ work. Charlotte, under the nom de plume Currer Bell, published Jane Eyre in 1847. Emily’s Wuthering Heights and Anne’s Agnes Grey were published later that year. Sadly, all three of Charlotte’s siblings died within the next two years. Left alone, Charlotte cared for her ill father and married his curate, Arthur Bell Nicholls, just a year after she published Villette, a novel inspired by a failed romance she had in Brussels years before. Charlotte died during a pregnancy shortly after the marriage.

  • Ronald Reagan and Nancy Davis marry

    Ronald Reagan and Nancy Davis marry

    On March 4, 1952, actor and future President Ronald Reagan married his second wife, actress Nancy Davis. The couple wed in Los Angeles at the Little Brown Church in the Valley.

    Nancy Davis, whose real name is Anne Frances Robbins, met her husband in 1951. (MGM Studios signed her to a contract and billed her as Nancy Davis for her first screen role in the film Shadow on the Wall). The two met in 1951, while Reagan was serving as president of the Screen Actors Guild (SAG) and Nancy was embroiled to remove her name from the notorious McCarthy-era Hollywood blacklist of possible communist sympathizers. The list referred to another actress of the same name, but it was preventing Davis from finding work, so the future first lady contacted Reagan to see if he, as SAG president, could help clear up the confusion. The two fell in love and were married a year later. Their first child, Patricia, was born 7 months after the wedding.

    In 1957, the couple appeared together in Hellcats of the Navy, but after their son Ron was born the following year, Nancy left acting to become a full-time wife and mother. Meanwhile, her husband’s political career took off and he became governor of California in 1967, a position he held until 1975. In 1980, he became president, serving for two terms. For her part, Nancy embraced the role of governor’s wife and later, first lady.

    Thought of as America’s first couple, the Reagans appeared to embody traditional American values. Their appeal reflected America’s love affair with movies and the actors in them. Americans ate up images of Ronald and Nancy’s public expressions of sincere devotion and they were often photographed together on their ranch in California or dancing in each other’s arms at state functions.

    Nancy placed her husband at the center of her life. “My life began when I married my husband,” she once reminisced. Speaking of Reagan, she said, “I could be the wife I wanted to be…A woman’s real happiness and real fulfillment come from within the home with her husband and children.” She nursed him while he recovered from a serious gunshot wound inflicted by a would-be assassin in 1981 and he stood by her when she underwent a mastectomy for breast cancer in 1987.

    Shortly after leaving office, Reagan was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease and the ever-devoted, stalwart Nancy took care of him until he died in 2004 at the age of 93. Nancy died in 2016 at the age of 94.

  • Lucille Ball files for divorce from Desi Arnaz

    Lucille Ball files for divorce from Desi Arnaz

    After 20 tumultuous years of marriage, actress Lucille Ball filed for divorce from her husband and collaborator, Desi Arnaz, on March 4, 1960. The breakup of the couple, stars of the hit sitcom “I Love Lucy” and owners of the innovative Desilu Studios, was one of the highest-profile divorces in American history at the time.

    Ball met Arnaz, five years her junior, while she was acting and he was leading a band in the film Too Many Girls. They married six months later. Though the two were, by all accounts, deeply in love for most of their lives, the relationship was always tumultuous, due to both of them being in showbusiness and to Arnaz’s womanizing and problems with alcohol. Ball first sought a divorce four years into the marriage, but they reconciled and determined to strengthen their relationship by finding opportunities to work together. When CBS asked her to develop a sitcom, Ball insisted on having her real-life husband play her husband on the show. The network was hesitant to cast a Cuban-American as a co-lead, but the couple convinced them by putting on a live show and conducting a successful tour.
