Nigerian music legend, 2face has opened up on why he is still interested in politics.
The award winning musician, Innocent Idibia alias 2baba has always had his eyes on politics especially after he ventured into an anti-government protest in February, 2017.
The much-publicised protest was scheduled to hold in Abuja, Lagos and other parts of the country on February 6, although, it was cancelled due to security reasons.
In a recent chat, the ‘African Queen’ crooner addressed political issues in his songs.
He said, “I am interested in politics because it affects my everyday life. Also, I am interested because I want to see progress. I want to see things happening plus I want to see things moving the way they are supposed to move.
“I also want to be able to talk about everything – talk about craze, quarrel, love, politics.”
On his organisation – the 2face Foundation, he said,
“We don’t make noise. I have worked with One.org, I have worked with Oxfam. Now, we are working with the UN Refugee Commission.
“Because we have so many internally displaced people in Nigeria. And so, we work with these people and see how we can make life easier.
“I can’t do for everyone but I pray that people will join hands and it is very sad that we have an agency in Nigeria responsible for the displaced.
“You know, it is also very sad that some people steal the rice meant for the displaced.
“So, who come worse? Person wey dey pursue them or you wey thief their food?” the Benue-born quizzed.
Why I am still interested in politics, 2face
It is no longer news that stealing in the IDPs’ camps have become a norm in Nigeria.
To prove how golden his heart is, 2Face recently donated N3.5 million to help persons displaced by Boko Haram.
He presented a cheque of N3.5million to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, UNHCR in February.
Apart from one fact that they (looters) will be punished by Karma, whatever you sow, you reap – all ye ‘wicked people in high places.’
