Nigerian actress and wife, legendary Nigerian singer, 2Face, Annie Idibia has sadly lost her father today- MAY 9 to cancer after battling it for a long time.
A mournful Annie took to Instagram to bid her dad farewell as he journeys to the land of no return. She wrote,
“R I P DADDY❤️❤️❤️ YOU FOUGHT HARD #CANCERSUCKS #THEPAINISGONE”
Prior to his death, Annie talked about the relationship she had with the father in an interview;
“THIS YEAR STARTED FOR ME QUITE TOUGH. I SPENT THE FIRST THREE MONTHS OF THIS YEAR IN THE HOSPITAL WITH MY FATHER BECAUSE HE HAD BEEN SICK FOR A WHILE BUT GOD HAS BEEN GREAT AND I AM GRATEFUL. I AM ACTUALLY CLOSER TO MY MOTHER THAN MY FATHER BECAUSE SHE RAISED US SINGLE-HANDEDLY. MY FATHER IS STILL MY FATHER AND SINCE HE WAS SICK WE HAD TO RALLY ROUND HIM.
GROWING UP WITH ONLY MY MOTHER REALLY AFFECTED MY LIFE AND I SUFFERED AND I DO NOT EVER WANT MY CHILDREN TO FACE THE AGONY OF NOT HAVING BOTH PARENTS TOGETHER BECAUSE IT WAS SO HARD FOR US. EVEN RIGHT NOW, THE WAY THE WORLD IS, CHILDREN ARE MORE ENLIGHTENED THAN WE WERE IN OUR DAYS, SO THE PRESSURE WOULD BE HARDER ON THE KIDS FROM BROKEN HOMES RIGHT NOW. I DO NOT WANT MY CHILDREN TO EVER EXPERIENCE THAT.”
