Nollywood actress, Iyabo Ojo, has condemned veteran singer 2face Idibia recent public announcement that he and his wife, Annie Idibia are no longer together.
Speaking via Instagram, the thespian faulted the timing of Idibia’s announcement, insisting that he has failed to show empathy despite the backlash Annie is facing over her appearance on the Young, Famous & African reality show.
She wrote, “A heartfelt reminder to couples: when love fades, prioritize your children’s well-being. As parents, sacrifices are essential. Never abandon loved ones in their darkest moments, even if separation or divorce is Inevitable.
“Let’s emphasize empathy and our children’s mental health. Sensitive issues shouldn’t be publicly aired; social media sometimes disregards the well-being of those involved.
“@official 2, 2baba, I adore you both, but this timing was off. Adding fuel to the fire, burning the mother of your kids who’s already vulnerable. Is so unempathic, I’m disappointed.”
Ojo prayed for Annie Idibia as she wished her inner strength to prioritize her children’s needs, adding that the present storm shall pass.
