Music legend Innocent Idibia, popularly known as 2Face or 2Baba, has sparked debate with his latest remarks on the country’s progress.
During an interview with Wazobia TV, the artiste claimed that Nigeria is in a better state now compared to previous years. He also said he has taken it upon himself to serve as a self-appointed ambassador for the country, pledging to represent it positively wherever he goes.
“We are better off than many years ago. Just look at it. 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. 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 comments have drawn mixed reactions on social media, with many Nigerians arguing that economic and security challenges remain widespread.
2Baba’s remarks come amid similar comments by comedian Seyi Law, who recently said Nigeria is safer now than it was about a decade ago. His statement also generated backlash online, with many disputing his claim.
Following the criticism, Seyi Law issued an apology, saying his comments were not meant to dismiss the experiences of Nigerians facing insecurity but to reflect his personal view based on available data and his observations.
