…appoints himself Ambassador of the Country
By Emmanuel Okogba
Nigerian music legend Innocent Idibia, popularly known as 2Face or 2Baba, has stirred reactions after claiming that Nigeria is currently better than it was many years ago.
In a recent interview on Wazobia TV, the award-winning artist expressed optimism about the country’s progress despite ongoing challenges.
“We are better off than many years ago. Just look at it,” 2Baba stated when the host, Yaw, pointed out that some of the issues he sang about in his classic song “E Be Like Say” years ago appear to be repeating in the current political climate.
The host had remarked, “Now we are back in that political season again, and the same issues are still happening.”
2Baba responded positively, insisting that tangible improvements have been made over the years.
He further revealed his personal commitment to nation-building by declaring himself an unofficial ambassador for Nigeria.
“I have personally appointed myself as an ambassador of Nigeria… an ambassador everywhere. I am a self-appointed ambassador of Nigeria to everywhere,” he said.
The singer explained that he intends to continue using his platform to project Nigeria positively and make a difference in his own way.
“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 added.
2Baba also clarified that while he once participated in a political campaign, he currently has no plans to venture into active politics. Instead, he prefers to operate independently as a voice for positive change.
2Baba, known for his socially conscious music and consistent advocacy for good governance, has maintained a reputation for speaking his mind on national issues over his two-decade career.
The veteran artist’s comments have sparked mixed reactions online.
