Ijeoma mentioned that what struck her most about the divorce was the fact that 2Baba, also known as 2face, addressed Annie by her maiden name.

“There are lots of things to glean from this ongoing drama but the first thing that jumped at me when I read his IG post last night was how this man addressed his wife of over 10 years as Annie Macaulay.
“All of a sudden, she was no longer Annie Idibia. He don collect his surname sharp sharp. This name she gave up everything to bear and tolerated everything to hold on to was taken away just like that.
“The name she tattooed on her clavicle immediately after they got married. The marriage she made the beginning and end of her existence.”

She said:
“She lost both her marriage and her identity in one fell swoop. Yet when we ask women to keep their names, they’ll start explaining longitude and latitude on how they want their entire family to bear the same name. If you like, troway your identity. Na you sabi.”
