Celebrity Quote: 2face Innocent Idibia




"As we go through life,we all suffer betrayals.Even Jesus was betrayed by one of his disciples Judas Iscariot.I have been betrayed but I won’t want to comment about it.

It’s a path so painful that I don’t even want to go there.Just like betrayals,I have also suffered heartbreak on account of a woman.


Again,it’s better to let sleeping dogs lie.Let me just say that love is a strong force which can conquer anybody,even if you are Tuface. It happened to me long ago.


I have loved and have been loved.When it comes to love,I am as Innocent as my name Innocent Idibia.I have never come across a virgin all my life.The only person I have disvirgined is me.Myself.The fact that I have not come across a virgin does not mean there are no virgins.What I am saying is that I have never jammed a virgin.I don’t know what I will do the day I come across a virgin.Will I marry her?


The truth is marriage is not in my plans.I will never marry.Let me put it that bluntly.I don’t want to marry.I am angry."

Liberian President Johnson Sirleaf, Gbowee, Karman win Nobel Peace Prize

OSLO (AFP) – Liberian President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, Liberian “peace warrior” Leymah Gbowee and Yemen’s Arab Spring activist Tawakkul Karman on Friday won the Nobel Peace Prize, the jury said.
The three prizewinners share the 2011 award “for their non-violent struggle for the safety of women and for women’s rights to full participation in peace-building work,” Norwegian Nobel Committee president Thorbjoern Jagland said in his announcement.
“We cannot achieve democracy and lasting peace in the world unless women obtain the same opportunities as men to influence developments at all levels of society,” he added.
Sirleaf, 72, made history when she became Africa’s first elected woman president in 2005. She took power in a nation traumatised by 14 years of brutal civil war that left 250,000 dead and economic devastation, with no electricity, running water or infrastructure.
The Nobel Committee said that “since her inauguration in 2006, she has contributed to securing peace in Liberia, to promoting economic and social development, and to strengthening the position of women.”
Sirleaf’s rise to power might not have been possible without the efforts of Gbowee, 39, an activist who led Liberia’s women to defy feared warlords.
She pushed men toward peace by inspiring a large group of both Christian and Muslim women to wage a sex strike during what was one of Africa’s bloodiest wars.
The Nobel Committee hailed Gbowee for having “organised women across ethnic and religious dividing lines to bring an end to the long war in Liberia, and to ensure women’s participation in elections.”
Tawakkul Karman is a 32-year-old Yemeni activist and journalist who has braved several stints in prison in her struggle for women’s rights, press freedom and the release of political prisoners in Yemen.
She is the first Arab woman to the win the Peace Prize.
The Nobel jury hailed her for “in the most trying circumstances, both before and during the ‘Arab Spring’… (playing) a leading part in the struggle for women’s rights and for democracy and peace in Yemen.”
