Veteran Nigerian musician Innocent Idibia, widely known as 2Baba, recently shared a surprising detail about his eldest son, Nino.
Nino, it turns out, has no plans to follow his father into the music industry. Nino is a talented saxophonist. Yet, 2Baba revealed his son’s true ambition: he wants to become a medical doctor.
This revelation came during an event in Abuja. 2Baba was celebrating his 25 years in the music industry. He brought Nino on stage to share the news.
Introducing Nino to the cheering crowd, 2Baba proudly announced, “Making some noise for my son Nino, mehn!” He then added, “He said he doesn’t want to be a singer. He wants to be a doctor.” The announcement was met with enthusiastic applause.
Nino Idibia was born on January 15, 2006. His mother is Sumbo Adeoye, 2Baba’s former partner.
