Tuface
and Annie Idibia’s fairy-tale Dubai wedding has come and gone but
obviously, some of his fans are not happy that the artiste and his wife
chose a foreign land as venue for their nuptials.
In a broadcast message that has been
going round on Blackberry smartphones and on Facebook and Twitter, the
bitter fans expressed their displeasure that though they had supported
the artiste’s musical career over the years by buying his CDs in
Nigeria, he took his wedding ceremony to a place that was accessible to
only invited guests and family members.
The message reads, “We bought your
compact discs then you went to get married in Dubai where we can’t eat
your rice. How many Arabs have brought their weddings down to Nigeria?
Well, if you sing your next song, get ready to go and sell it in Dubai –
Angry Lagosians. ”
More angry fans wrote, “I never knew or
comprehended that Mr. 2face Innocent Idibia had this spirit of
wickedness in him. We have been encouraging him even when he was nothing
till now that he felt that he has arrived. 2Face, we all bought every
CD you have ever played, paid for all the shows your attended, devoted
our time to listen to all your songs. Even when the songs may not meet
our expectations, as an encouragement, we continued to listen to them.
Yet you didn’t show us appreciation. 2Face, let’s ask you a question.
How many Arabs have bought your CDs or listened to any of your songs?
Annie Macaulay’s parents are not Arabs to say your chose Arab-land
because of proximity to her parents. With your spirit of wickedness, you
carry your wedding to Dubai so that Nigerian fans will not eat rice or
cake or drink your mineral (non-alcoholic drinks) or even our local
beer. You know for sure that most of your fans can’t afford tickets to
Dubai. You denied your fans who bought and paid for your CDs and shows
the generational opportunity to see a glimpse of your wedding, because
you are sure that we fans are not important. Nigeria is not good enough
to host a celebrity wedding. Tomorrow, your friends and colleagues in
the entertainment industry who are natural copy-cats will join the trend
of wasting our foreign exchange in countries that see Nigerians as
nobodies. Well, let’s tell you, get ready to sell your next album in
Dubai, perform all your new shows in Arab, with new found Arab fans. As
for us, we will not buy or patronise your music ever, again.”
