Earlier this week, Nigerian music legend 2face Idibia was unveiled as the Goodwill Ambassador of the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE), and it was all glitz and glam.

But the singer’s wife, actress Annie Idibia has shared a back story, narrating his strength and dedication to his work.

2face had been sick before then, and had to plead with his doctor to let him go, she said.

She wrote on her Insta Story:

Incredible human!! So baba has been so ill n on drips n plenty med! Dr was by his side for 48hrs!! We all didn’t think he could make it to this big event that was all about him and the Nigeria Stock Exchange.

Even with his voice constantly shaking n his body shaking, the man got up told the DR, ‘men I no go too tey! I no dey like cancel work matter, n this one over important make I just drag body reach the even!’ He made it but back to his meds! get well soon baby.
