TUFACE & ANNIE by Edgar Joseph in our Bull's Eye series

Now when I was just starting life, I used to know Annie as a small girl who shared a room at the BQ in the house where I used to go play games in a suburb in Lagos. I did not really know her then, but when she gained celebrity status, my then friend pointed it out.

Tuface has over the years ruled my heart. His humility, passion and talent all have combined to create an artiste that has achieved what I would call the artistic trinity. By this I mean you will find in his works, inspiration from the great Fela, the inspirational Bob Marley and the genius of Majek Fashek.

I first had a taste of his raw talent at the defunct French Cultural Centre. As a poor young man, I used to go with my wife Mofoluwake to go watch free shows. This particular evening, a young good looking boy snuck on stage and did one Bob Marley number and disappeared into the night. The performance was mesmerising and I told my wife to watch out for that guy.

The next time I saw him was at my Egbon's studio. The world famous Keke Ogungbe and I remember telling Egbon to sign this guy o.

But today, my story is on his courage. His ability to choose one out of the three or is it 4 women who have children for him. I cannot wait for his return from his fairytale wedding to ask him the following questions:

Was it the cooking, was it the sex, was it the colour, was it ayiri or was it Governor Akpabio that gave Annie the edge over the others.

These are very pertinent questions that could save our democracy and Tuface owes us the answers.

Finally, I am in strong support of Governor Akpabio's kind gesture towards the couple. Annie by this action has shown that Akwa Ibom women are not only beautiful, but are very patient. They would in every circumstance eagerly share their hubby with the rest of the world because of the innate confidence they have in their love making abilities. The men, once they taste Calabar and Akwa Ibom soup, always come back no matter the amount of stew our Yoruba sisters feed them with. They come rushing back with pile. Ask Alibaba.

My only grouse is that, Our wonderful Governor should have at least repaired the road leading to Annie's village and rename it after her as part of the wedding largess.

I thank you

Having as son, one of the best musicians to come out of Nigeria and by extension Africa. And that son marrying at one of the 7-wonders of the world destinations. 

If na you nko? You no go PROUD!!!

WHEN ANNIE & TUFACE TOOK OVER DUBAI.....MARCH 23, 2013...

MR & MRS INNOCENT IDIBIA.........

ENE MAYA-LAWANI EX-MISS NIGERIA

RITA DOMINIC

It has been tagged the wedding of the year already and truth be told, we agree 200%. The couple and their support system really went a long mile to make sure, many who made it to Dubai would remember the event for a long time to come. 

Now any star or celebrity that wants to wed, had better get their acts right. It's either to do a quiet wedding 'delibrately' or go all out by looking for sponsors to go all the way. The ante has been raised and it would take very much to meet or match now. The only other wedding on this caliber would be the Stephanie weds Linus Idahosa in Paris, France. 

We were able to source some more pictures of those at the wedding for your viewing delight. Our visa for Dubai only just arrived this morning. So we missed out on all the fun and excitement. Nevertheless, here are a few more pictures. Sorry about that the pictures are not the best, that's because we weren't on ground to take the pictures. 

Anyway, Enjoy!!!

Never knew Don Jazzy could look that good in a suit. Dr Sid also. The Mavin duo both rocked Christian Louboutin shoes, while Jazzy wore a grey, one-buttoned suit, Sid wore a black one-buttoned suit and rocked a bow-tie. Rita Dominic always so delicious, rocked a white trouser suit ensemble, with a sky blue jacket and that gorgeous hat to finish the look. Susan Peters was virginal in that short, white outfit, really rocked and we loved to high heavens the cat frames. 

Ini Edo rocked a royal blue outfit, while Kate Henshaw, like Susan Peters rocked a white dress and had on a summer straw hat. Eldee the Don, looked every inch a mafia don, in his suit and the dark shades, looking menacing. Davido for once wore a suit and had on a bow-tie.

Some stars like Mike Ezuruonye, had on a nice suit sans tie, so also Mr Capable, Banky W in a 3-piece ensemble, no tie also.

UPDATE ON ANNIE WEDS INNOCENT IDIBIA- KUDOS TO AYIRI EMAMI FOR BEING A ROCK!

RED DELICIOUS AZUKA ON HER WAY TO THE WEDDING

AYIRI EMAMI

You can't find many friends in the mould of Ayiri Emami. The young billionaire is the main shadow behind the whole package that is currently going on in Dubai, the U.A.E.  Where Nigeria's and Africa's number 1 crooner Innocent 'tuface'' Idibia is taking as wife, his jewel of inestimable value Annie Macaulay. 

Either it was deliberate on the side of the couple to mislead or it was just a printer's error, their gorgeous invitation card that was included in their invitation pack had said Friday, March 22, 2013. The venue like the whole world already know, is the imposing 6-stars wonder known to all as the Jumeirah Beach Hotel. 

According to the whisperings that we have gotten, the main financial backbone behind the awesome celebrity wedding which has upped ante in terms of celebrity destination weddings is none other than ''Billionaire Warri Chief'' Ayiri Emami. As we speak, the financial colossus is presently in Dubai with his wife to make sure all goes as it is scripted. 

From very reliable sources, we hear that the conservative estimate of the Ayiri's spending could not have been less than 20 Million Naira. Some even claim that, that is small compared to what might have been spent. 

Let's give you a brief breakdown of some of those things, he is said to have bankrolled. This is apart from a one in town 'Bachelor's eve, he supposedly sponsored the night before.
