First!
*round of applause*
scale, howecer; I am wondering why artist are not asking for the interview questions ahead of time to better prepare a short and precise answer……either way 2face is talented artist
elective 1st!
just love 2baba
there is really something about Jos with Music/Art… makes sense why the devil is trying to destroy that place.
will come back to watch later….too long
2 is my man 4 life
Its was exclusive,people said 2baba can’t speak good english but he actually speak fluently. kudos 2baba!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
he just got better, good to see him working on it…But 2baba is humble and it always shocks me every-time I encounter hiz.
He is the TUPAC of Africa – no one does it better – he always has a story to tell in his music. My favourite to date is OCHO even though i dont understand the language – I still love that song. I memorised and sing it word for word but i dont understand it.
Please I definitely agree with you. Ocho is his best song till date. It is the Idoma language. He is from Oturkpo in Benue State. the English language is our 2nd language. Pidgin English is our official language. So, if you ask me, I don’t think 2face is in the wrong. But some pple (some Nigerians) would want to have the british and or merican accent before it is accepted that they can and could speak the english language..
It never ceases to amaze me????
if he doesnt speak good english – its ok – english is not our mother tongue – George Bush cant speak French or SPanish – so whats your point
English is our National Language and has been for decades! It would be nice if people could speak and write decently in their National Language. After all if you went to primary & Secondary school in Nigeria your teachers spoke and taught you in English so how the heck do you spend at least 12 years been taught and spoken to in English and still can’t comport a coherent sentence? Not cool at all…………………just saying!
FYI, the quality of primary and secondary education in this country is not great unless you have (as you seem to have had – you are more blessed than you obviously realise) the opportunity to attend a good school. In the vast majority of schools, the teachers themselves cannot speak good English.
Have you heard the English teachers in Nigeria speak these days? Such a hot mess! I get grossed out when I hear children of these days speak! Both rich and poor, there’s this certain accent that never was before!
i love it ..Fab he was very original and stayed true to himself
yup reppin moscow here, pls come again….good job tubaba!
I have fallen in love with 2face all over again! He is a natural!
There are only two artistes in Nigeria, Tuface, and Tuface!!!
Lol…I love his answer to “Are you a romantic?” Because my guy, if romance = littering the world with babies & their mamas, then romance is dead. Love the interview.
I must also add that while piracy is a problem in Nigeria, I thought it was a tad overemphasized by Lola, and there was no mention of the decline of piracy in the sector. Tuface knows that there’s been progress–maybe not with the pirates but at least with the Nigerian people. Im sef sabi say if it was 5 years ago when he decided to sell his CDs at his high fixed price, nobody go send. People actually bought millions of his & Tuface’s CDs at world prices. If CDs weren’t making ‘em decent money, they wouldn’t put so much effort into their artwork & promoting CDs. Give us some credit at least.
Very nice… as always, he keeps it real and is true to himself… that’s what makes his music so great…
Why the sun glass????????????????
HE SPOKE OK ENGLISH..THERE WAS NO SHOOTING…HE WAS QUITE ARTICULATE I MUST SAY..
I just fell in love with Tuface again….this interview won me over. Move over bad romance…lol
Nice one TuBaba
Nice one TuBaba……oh please get off his back, his english was ok.
i love 2baba anytime anyday…in fact we go way dack u knw…he jst stepped out secs ago…lool.if he likes he sud speak kinchochum(any language)…i will nod and smile…as in serzly who cares about his english?…ok i care, bt rite now it doznt count
big up the legend…u re mouthed nothing dey happen…
2face is my man any day, any time…..thumbs up, sweetie.
I fell off my seat when Tuface said “They beat the hell out of me….. They beat shege out of me..Allah”……….. He’s soo funny….
And the english issue, u people na wa ooo….He spoke normal nigerian english and sounded quite well put…. Asides the “you know” he kept saying, it was ok……
As for this Lola girl asking Tuface if Benue is in jos?……. *no comments*
Man, i MUST attend a 2face concert before I die o, maybe this summer when i enter 9j!!!
Ppl dnt seems 2 kno y 2baba has been so successful in his entire life i mean 2face as neva fake anytin consernin his life,muzic,dress even his interview.
