Today, May 10, 2016, 2face Idibia was conferred with an honorary degree at Igbinedion University, Okada, Benin.
The 40-year-old singer arrived Benin Kingdom yesterday and paid a
courtesy visit to the Esama of Benin Kingdom and founder of the
university, Gabriel Igbinedion.
2face in company of his wife Annie ate kolanut with the billionaire.
Well, some Nigerians don’t think he deserves the award, simply because he did not go to School.
One Princeowa on instagram wrote “2face honorary doctorate? Dunno where this country is heading to… Every aspect is backward”
While one Ni_sola wrote “This is unbelievable, from where to where. What will he do with the Degreee? Somebody that can not speak English or even spell…the only thing he can speak is Pidgin, smh, shame on Nigerian universities…”
Adeolatwist defended him saying, “it doesn’t always take an academic setting to be awarded a degree. How many graduates of music in Nigeria have equalled tuface’s impact on Nigeria. He has achieved so much. He should be celebrated.”
One Dr_necta wrote it’s a shame that u and some other people haven’t moved on from mistakes a young man committed years ago. Well, you all need to school yourselves and realise that having children out of wedlock isn’t a social menace. Maybe y’all don’t know what honorary awards stand for. Has he excelled in his field of practice? Has he influenced the youths? Has he affected humanity? The answers are positive. This man made mistakes while growing and has changed for good with a loving wife who has forgiven him….so y’all need some chill pills and move on. Congrats man….u deserve that award and more….
