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."
