Renowned broadcaster Kikelomo Atanda-Owo has addressed the public discourse surrounding the separation of musician Innocent ‘2Baba’ Idibia and actress Annie Idibia, emphasizing the importance of self-worth and emotional well-being for women. Reflecting on Annie’s steadfast support for 2Baba throughout their relationship, Atanda-Owo highlighted the need for women to prioritize self-love over societal expectations.
She remarked, “Annie stood by 2Baba during his rising music career, even after he fathered children with other women. Love is not a crime, but women should start placing themselves above men in relationships.” Atanda-Owo further noted that many men might struggle to endure the challenges Annie faced, stating, “What Annie tolerated, accommodated, endured, most men can never handle a fraction of it.”
Praising 2Baba’s discretion during the marital crisis, Atanda-Owo commended his decision to keep personal matters off social media, viewing it as a sign of maturity. She also criticized the tendency of social media to turn personal struggles into public spectacles, urging a more compassionate approach.
Atanda-Owo concluded by advocating for self-empowerment, encouraging women to embrace self-love and personal development. She emphasized that marriage should not be seen as a validation of one’s existence and highlighted that divorce can sometimes mark the beginning of growth and healing.
