Nigeria ‘better off’ than years ago, says 2Face Idibia
Legendary Nigerian singer Innocent Idibia, popularly known as 2Face/2Baba, has stirred fresh debate after stating that Nigeria is “better off” today than it was many years ago.
The music icon made the remark during an appearance on Wazobia TV, where the host referenced his classic hit, *E Be Like Say*, noting that the issues he sang about years ago still seem to play out in the country’s current political climate.
Reacting, 2Face/2Baba said, “We are better off than many years ago. Just look at it.”
When asked whether he had political ambitions, the singer explained that he once participated in advocacy roles that required neutrality, but he remains committed to contributing in his personal capacity.
“It’s still ongoing, but I will continue doing it.
“I will set up my own position and try to make a difference. I’ll try to make it work because I know where I stand,” he said.
2Face/2Baba added that he considers himself a representative of Nigeria wherever he goes. “I have personally appointed myself as an ambassador of Nigeria… a self-appointed ambassador of Nigeria to everywhere,” he said.
His remarks have since triggered mixed reactions online, with some agreeing with his optimism and others questioning his assessment of the country’s current realities.
