The ‘African Queen’ crooner 2Face Idibia Bags Masters Degree

Inasmuch as i don't remember when he graduated from any university, our Iconic singer 2face Idibia on Tuesday, bagged an honorary Master of Arts in Music degree at Igbinedion University, courtesy of the Esama of Benin Kingdom and founder of the university, Gabriel Igbinedion. The ‘African Queen’ crooner thanked the university for the honour. Here’s a transcript of his acceptance speech from the ceremony: 


‘Your excellencies, ladies and gentlemen, I’ll like to stand on existing protocols because right now I’m overwhelmed, over-excited, over-elated and over-grateful, In short I’m over ‘all of the above’ (laughs). ‘(sings) …right now I dey feel like Esama oooo. On a serious note, I’m very very humbled and extremely grateful for this honour from this great Institution. From the bottom of my heart, I say a huge, mighty thank you to the Almighty God for making this day happen. When they told me this, I thought I was being punk’d! Even when I came here, I still thought I was being punk’d. Up till now, I’m still in shock. 

So I want to say thank you to the honourable Chancellor Chief Gabriel Igbinedion, I want to thank the deputy-chancellor, Chief Lucky Igbinedion.
