The wife of the iconic African pop star, Annie Macaulay Idibia has opened up on why Tuface Idibia begged her to marry him.
In a revealing interview she granted Jara, a TV programme on Africa
Magic channel on DSTV, the singer’s wife reconstructed the scenario of
how Tuface proposed to her and why he chose her among the other women in
his life.
In her words:
“He called me up one morning that
I should meet him in Lagos so that we can hang out. He said his friends
are around and they want to take us out. So, I agreed to see him. I
remember it was a particular friend of ours that was around that day,
although I would not like to mention his name.
“And when I got to
Lagos that day, he was like ‘let’s go to the club.’ When we got to the
club, the place was totally empty. Obviously confused, I asked him,
“baby, what are we doing here, it’s empty” and before I turned back, my
brothers and friends showed up. I was so perplexed that I had to ask
what everybody was doing around there and they said they heard we were
there and they came.
“Just about few minutes after, Tuface picked
up the microphone and I thought he was going to do all the normal hypes
he does when he goes to the club. But he shocked me. He started saying
things about how I have always been there for him since day one. How I
have sacrificed alot for him. How I have cried and stood strong during
his trying moments.
The truth is, he said so many things I can’t
remember now. He said so many wonderful things that sent me into
another world and I couldn’t even hear the other things he said.
“I
didn’t even know when he walked up to me and he said “Please, will you
marry me?” And I was like, “Can you imagine? What’s going on here?” he
was saying so many things that I can’t even remember. It all blew my
head.
“Although, it has not been easy since we had our
traditional marriage. The truth is, it is not easy to be married to a
superstar but I still live my normal life.
Right now, I feel 24
hours is not enough for me because I have my husband, my daughter and
myself to take care of. It has really been crazy and God knows I have
been trying my best. I wish I have more time to handle all of this.
“Just
because of the lack of time, I haven’t been able do my normal acting
jobs. I would still go on to do it soon because my husband is very
supportive of my career and everything I do.
As a married woman, I
would be more selective with the roles I take now. I would do away from
controversial roles but that doesn’t mean if I see a good storyline I
wouldn’t do it.
“One of the reasons I would be careful with the
roles I take up now is because I am married. And when you are married
you have to be able to manage your career such that it won’t affect your
home front.
In any case, you need to learn some tips which will
help you carry on in the marriage. But before that, you need to be sure
that the man loves you as much as you love him.
Even if it is
not as much as you love him, but be sure he loves you. You also need to
be patient. Men are like babies and babies are very annoying. You need
to scold them but you should pamper them more. You need to work on
yourself so that you can be proud of yourself. Don’t fake anything.
“Very
soon, Tuface and I plan to do our white wedding and you will all be
invited and even though it will be something quiet. We don’t want to
make too much noise about it. We just want a beautiful and memorable
event.”
