Nigerians have responded violently to media personality and social activist Shade Ladipo’s advice to Annie Idibia, the wife of famed singer 2baba, to ask her husband for a vasectomy on various social media sites.
Shade used her Instagram story to offer Annie Idibia some unsolicited advice, telling her that her husband, a father of seven children, should get a vasectomy.
Vasectomy is a surgical technique for male sterilization or permanent contraception that is performed as elective surgery.
The male vasa deferentia (the tube connecting the testes and the urethra) is cut and knotted or sealed during the surgery to prevent sperm from entering the urethra and thereby preventing fertilization of a female through sexual intercourse.
Shade’s post says, “I love you Annie so now would be a great time to ask 2face to get a vasectomy. I mean there are enough kids in the mix. #JustAThought”
Some Nigerians have reacted angrily to the article, claiming that the media figure has no authority to counsel the singer on such matters.
Instagram platform, a user @ladyque_1 said, “This is disrespectful. Who are you to decide for them?”
Sharing the same opinion, another user of the platform, @ar3thaa said, “What happened to sending her a dm?”(sic)
And also, @ifeomaherself said, “how many children do you have in your name?? #smh”. While the user with the handle, @mallow_xx said, “Shade, but it’s not your business!!”
Likewise, @mz_habeebat said, “This is disrespectful, 2baba no be anybody mate for this industry. Aunty shift abeg.”(sic) and other comments.
Annie and 2Baba, on the other hand, have yet to respond to the suggestion.
I’m hoping everything goes smoothly.
