2face Idibia and Annie Macaulay wed secretly

There have been intense speculation, and we can now authoritatively tell you that 2face Idibia and fiancée Annie Macaulay have secretly tied the knot.
Just as we reported exclusively on February 22,  the couple stuck to their plan of keeping the first stage of the most anticipated celebrity wedding of the year as low key as possible by making it a strictly family affair.
We’re told the private ceremony was attended by only close family members including the parents of the bride and groom. ‘2face’s parents had to fly in just to meet with Annie’s parents and family, he wanted to go alone but later thought it best to bring his parents along’, a close friend of the  pop act tells us.
An introduction was done on Tuesday, May 1, 2012, a day after 2face staged his ‘Buckwyld and Breathless’ concert and released his fifth solo album ‘Away and Beyond’. Our sources say both families gathered at the Macaulay’s home in Ajah, on the outskirts of Lagos, for the private meet.
And a day later, on Wednesday, May 2, 2012, 2face and Annie had a private registry wedding in Lagos. Insiders say the couple kept the registry wedding so hush hush that most of Annie’s friends were not even in the know. We’re told only Maryanne, one of Annie’s close friends was present. Most of Idibia’s close friends and associates were also not carried along.
Ms Macaulay’s two brothers were also present, according to NET findings.
The pop singer took the first step towards marriage with the sensational proposal to Annie, mother of his two-year-old daughter Isabella Idibia on February 14, 2012 at Jay Jay Okocha’s Number 10 night club.
Meanwhile 2face’s publicist, Bayo Omisore says he is unsure about the new development. ‘I’m not sure about the news, I’ve been getting calls all day. If there’s an update, I’ll let you know’, he told NET in a phone conversation.
A rep from the popstar’s management Now Muzik as at the time of this report had also not been able to confirm the news even though their official statement hints he has. ‘I’ve been trying to reach him too. But I hope the news is true and if it is then I’m happy’, Now Muzik Tony ‘Don T’ Anifite told NET.
‘He’s not getting younger; I’m glad he’s joining other Now Muzik acts like Timi Dakolo and J Martins who recently tied the knot‘, Don T added.
It remains unclear why the couple is keeping mum about this development, but not to worry – those close to them say ’they will still have the main wedding which will be much more grandeur and elaborate later on in the year’.
‘I Love My Life…..It So Golden ***wide smile**’, Annie tweeted two days ago. Who wouldn’t?

EXPOSED: Many Lies Of D'Banj

It is no news that Dapo Oyebanjo, who is well known as D'Banj has parted ways with Don Jazzy.

It is also not news that one of the last songs done by the both former Mohits Records co-owners, Oliver Twist has found it way into some parts in the United Kingdom.

But what might be news to many is that contrary to what D'Banj has spurned to the Nigerian public that his Oliver Twist song has top UK's top chart is definitely false in totality.

According to our findings, D'Banj's Oliver Twist song has not made UK's number one spot on the MTV's official UK Charts list.

As at the time of writing this story, his song is still not in UK's official top 40 songs [MTV UK TOP 40]

Going by what Gossipnigeria.com found out about D'Banj's claim of getting number spot for Oliver Twist song, it has only at a point made UK's 'Shazam' number spot.

We found out that 'Shazam' is an application which identifies mostly played song, which Oliver Twist single has enjoyed.

In other to make MTV official UK top chart, such song must rise in the number of downloads and retail sales in the UK. This, D'Banj's Oliver Twist can attain only if Nigerians or people buy the song by digital downloads.

D'Banj has also reportedly claimed that his song is the talk of UK, which some sources in the UK claimed is one of the biggest lies ever told.

We gathered that D'Banj is relatively unknown in the UK. Some claimed that his Mercury/G.O.O.D Music deals are still controversial.

They told Gossipnigeria.com contrary to what D'Banj is telling his fans in Nigeria about the success of his Oliver Twist song has made, Oliver Twist single has not achieved such successes. They claim D'Banj is passing the wrong information to the Nigerian public.

According to some who spoke to Gossipnigeria.com under anonymity, they claim D'Banj might be doing these false hypes about Oliver Twist to make Don Jazzy and Nigerians feel he is doing well without Don Jazzy.

Some sources also claim that D'Banj might have forced his way into getting his song played by some top UK DJs in the local way.

There are other revelations about Oliver Twist in our care but would dish them out later.
