Enough of my marital drama, let’s deal with real national problems – 2Baba

Nigerian music icon Innocent Idibia, popularly known as 2Baba, has called on citizens to stop fixating on his personal life and instead pay attention to the pressing challenges facing the nation.
DAILY POST reports that the singer made the statement on December 12, 2025, while performing at a live event, where he entertained his fans with his hit songs.
Addressing the crowd, 2Baba emphasized that discussions surrounding his marriage to Edo State lawmaker Natasha Osawaru have persisted for far too long.
He stressed that there are far more important national matters that warrant public focus than gossip about his personal affairs.
The singer noted that after years of entertaining Nigerians through his music, it was time for the public to channel their attention to issues that genuinely affect the country.
He said; “Make una ignore all that nonsense. Some serious things are happening in Nigeria. I’ve entertained you all enough. Let’s focus on more important things.”

‘I started smoking at 13, battled addictions for 27 years’ – Tonto Dike

Nollywood star, Tonto Dike has revealed that she started smoking at the age of 13 and struggled with the addiction for 27 years.
The actress, who disclosed this while sharing a testimony during a Sunday service at Streams of Joy International Church, also shared that she struggled with alcohol addiction, masturbation and prolonged anger issues.
Describing her addictions as “demonic oppression,” Dikeh attributed her freedom from the addictions to divine intervention, stressing that she started noticing changes after her spiritual life improved.
“I smoked since I was 13. God healed me from masturbation, too. I have known myself to have sexual intercourse in the dream ever since I was a child,” the actress said.
She explained that she got addicted to smoking because her father was a smoker. She urged parents not to expose their children to harmful habits.
The 40-year-old said God also recently healed her from “demonic anger,” which she said previously affected her relationships and personal life.
After the actress’ testimony, the founder of Pastor Jerry Eze prayed for her, declaring that “the burden of sin is broken” and describing her as “a voice in her generation.”
