So, Annie Macaulay finally frees herself from the ‘Idibia’ name, and before we can even say “African Queen,” Honourable Natasha Osawaru swoops in and claims it. Just like that.
What’s really going on? Because the timing of all this is way too convenient for it to be a coincidence. Did 2Baba and Natasha tie the knot secretly? Or is she just marking territory for what’s to come?
Let’s break it all down because this drama is unfolding like a Nollywood blockbuster.
2Baba’s Love Life: From Annie to Natasha
First, let’s rewind a bit. In January, 2Baba shocked everyone when he publicly announced that his marriage to Annie was over. He even went live to confirm that no one hacked his account—he meant what he said.
Shortly after, a video surfaced of him proposing to Natasha Osawaru, a politician representing Egor Constituency in the Edo State House of Assembly. The proposal set the internet on fire, with many accusing 2Baba of disrespecting Annie, who had been through hell in that marriage.
Fast forward to March, and Natasha is seen shopping for clothes to wear to parliament while holding onto 2Baba like a trophy. And now, barely a week after Annie officially drops ‘Idibia’ from her name, Natasha proudly adds it to her Instagram bio.
You mean to tell me all of this is just random? Yeah, right.
Did Natasha and 2Baba Secretly Get Married?
Let’s be honest—no woman just wakes up one morning and slaps a man’s surname onto her bio for vibes. That name means something, especially when it’s attached to a man with 2Baba’s history.
So, what are the possibilities here?
1. They secretly got married – Maybe 2Baba and Natasha are now officially husband and wife but decided to keep it on the low. Annie’s exit was barely announced before Natasha was already making moves. This could explain why she boldly changed her name.
2. This is a soft launch – Maybe they haven’t signed the papers yet, but Natasha is just warming us up for the big reveal. She’s marking her territory early, letting the world know that she’s the new “Mrs Idibia” in town.
3. It’s all for clout – Could Natasha be using this drama to gain more attention? Let’s not act like politicians don’t love publicity. By associating herself with 2Baba, she’s keeping people talking—and in politics, that’s always a win.
Whatever the case may be, one thing is clear: Natasha is not here to play, and she’s making sure everyone knows it.
Even the Police Have Something to Say!
As the Natasha-2Baba-Annie triangle continues to unfold, the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Police Public Relations Officer, Superintendent of Police (SP) Josephine Adeh, has waded into the conversation with a strong warning for women.
Reacting to Natasha’s decision to take 2Baba’s surname, Adeh took to her X handle on Sunday evening to caution women against mistaking temporary passion for true love. She made it clear that a man who easily replaces a woman will likely do it again.
Her words? A brutal reality check:
“A man who easily replaces a woman will do it again. How he treats women is a reflection of his character. His children are watching (if any), and so is the world.”
“My fellow gender, no title is worth losing your dignity over. If he left her for you, don’t celebrate just yet—your turn may come. Protect your heart, finances, and future. Don’t mistake a temporary passion for lasting love. Love is sweet, but wisdom is necessary.”
Omo! The sub here is loud. While she didn’t mention names, we all know who and what she was referring to.
Social Media Is On Fire!
As expected, Nigerians have a lot to say about this situation, and the reactions are wild!
Deji wrote: “From Annie to Natasha—this man is collecting wives like Infinity Stones.”
Precious added: “So, while Annie was crying, 2Baba was planning wedding number 2? This life no balance.”
Femi asked: “How can you add a man’s surname without a wedding? Abi na soft launch?”
Meanwhile, some people think it’s not that deep.
Efe defended Natasha: “If Annie no want the name again, make another woman carry am. Free her abeg.”
Clearly, opinions are divided—some feel for Annie, while others think Natasha is simply stepping into her place.
My Opinion? This Timing Is Highly Suspicious!
I’m sorry, but this whole situation smells funny. Annie just dropped ‘Idibia,’ and Natasha picks it up immediately? You expect us to believe this isn’t pre-planned?
For years, Annie stood by 2Baba through all the baby mama drama, the cheating allegations, and the public embarrassment. Now, before the dust even settles on their split, another woman is already claiming his name?
If 2Baba and Natasha are married, then it’s safe to say he wasted no time moving on. But if they aren’t, then Natasha is playing a bold game—because no woman just randomly adopts a man’s surname for fun.
At this point, we need answers. Has 2Baba truly moved on, or is Natasha just claiming her spot too soon? And if they’re already married, was it too fast, or was it just a matter of time?
