Emeka Ugwuonye, the lawyer representing May Yul-Edochie, has spoken highly of Nigerian singer 2Face Idibia for the way he is handling his separation from his wife, Annie Macaulay.

In a post on Facebook, Ugwuonye praised 2Face for first announcing his separation and upcoming divorce before introducing his new partner, Natasha Igbinedion.

He noted that 2Face is following the right steps by ensuring he ends one marriage before starting another.

Ugwuonye also pointed out that 2Face did not try to justify his new relationship by using African traditions or polygamy as an excuse.

Many people believe this was a subtle dig at actor Yul Edochie, who previously defended his decision to take a second wife, Judy Austin, despite still being married to May Yul-Edochie.

2Face’s approach to his personal life has sparked discussions on how public figures should handle separations and new relationships.

Many people online have agreed that his honesty and openness are commendable.

His post reads;

‘’ADVICE TO 2FACE AND NATASHA FROM DPA FAMILY LAW CLINIC

We heard from 2Face that he is planning to marry Ms. Natasha Osawaru. We admit that a married man can fall out of love with his wife and develop love feelings toward another woman. That is possible. However, such a man, if married under the Marriage Act of Nigeria, must first divorce his current wife before getting married to the second woman.

2Face seems to have done things the right way. He first announced his separation from his wife, Annie, and the fact that he had filed for divorce. He is not planning to be a polygamist. He knows that he must divorce his current wife before marrying Natasha. To that extent, they are complying with the law. 2Face had done well in that regard. He did not try to gaslight the nation with some new-found love for African traditions and polygamy.

We hope that his divorce from Annie will be concluded in accordance with the law. And after that, we wish him and Natasha a happy marriage.”
