Nigeria’s superstar singer, songwriter, record producer and entrepreneur, Innocent Ujah Idibia, professionally known as 2face Idibia, Tuface or 2Baba turned 45 on Friday, September 18, 2020.

It was a joyful day for the Jos born Idoma, Benue State indigene who is unarguably

one of the most decorated and successful Afro pop artistes in Africa, and also one of the most bankable performing music artistes in Africa.

Unknown to the African Queen crooner, his beloved wife and mother of two daughters out of his seven children, Annie Macaulay, had plotted a “coup” for him when he went out that day.

And the former Plantashun Boiz group member fell into the plot with his eyes wide open.

Little did he know that his wife had plotted a birthday coup for him, waiting for full execution on his return home.

Details of the plot as posted by the Akwa Ibom State-born actress on her Instagram page on Sunday narrates how she called up some “accomplices” to join her in the plot which however was not meant to “overthrow” her husband but to honour him with a surprise package which she tagged “A guy at 45”.

“A very big mighty shout out to @esobevents. They hooked up “A Guy” surprise 45th birthday for me under only 24hrs ahhhhh. @sunmboadeoye you are a magician ooooooo!” she said.

Giving further details of the plot, she said,

“On Wednesday night at about 8:30pm, I called Esob Ceo@sunmboadeoye, ‘Babe, you know me and all my last minute plans, abeg no vex oo.’ She bursted out laughing. ‘Annie you have come again ooooo!’

“Anyway, long story short, I told her all I really wanted for Baba was a surprise dinner, I told her how Baba didn’t wanna do any celebration, but I wanted something extremely intimate, just him, our moms and all his kids! Just family!!!! She said beautiful, Annie go and sleep you are sorted. And I was sorted oooo!!” She narrated.

She went on to disclose other aspects of the plot:

“I also told her how I wanted all of his friends and family all over the world to be a part of his 45th! She said done, and gave me the idea of the 'surprise zoom dinner’.

“I was over the moon with that thought! So all of his friends and family all over the world can be a part of his 45th, yet very intimate? Chai! Na so we start planning! And it was a huge success,” she said.

When her birthday boy finally returned home, little did he know a big shock was awaiting him.

Annie continued: “A Guy thought I was taking him out for dinner alone! Na so my makeup no gree finish! He came up screaming ‘Babe, na which kind make up you dey do wey no dey finish?' He got to the rooftop anddddddd...

surprise!!!!!

“He didn’t even know his boys were around! Sumbo and I pulled the trick on him. And the highlight was, into the dinner, a tv screen came up and boom!!! All of his friends, family and his kids in America popped up too! That one shock am o! He was pleasantly surprised and extremely happy!! Goal achieved!”

Again, the “coup” plotter wife was all thanks to her principal collaborator:

“Thank you again @esobevents for making all of these happen in 24 hrs,” she said.

What a laborious way just to say happy birthday to a loving husband.
