Nino Idibia, the eldest son of Nigerian music legend 2Baba (Innocent Idibia), has captured the admiration of fans after he celebrated both his biological mother, Sunmbo Adeoye, and his stepmother, Annie Idibia, in a heartfelt Mother’s Day tribute shared on Instagram.
On Sunday, May 11, 2025, the 19-year-old shared touching throwback photos on his Instagram story — one featuring him as a baby with his mother Sunmbo, and another warm family photo showing Annie smiling joyfully at Nino and his brother alongside her daughter Isabel.
In his message, Nino wrote, “Home is where mum is,” a simple yet profound declaration that showcased his appreciation for the love and nurturing he’s received from both women in his life.
Annie, who has been part of Nino’s upbringing alongside her own children with 2Baba, received praise from fans for the mutual respect and love reflected in the post. Followers hailed her as a “great stepmom,” highlighting the strength of her bond with the children.
Notably, Pastor David Adeoye, Sunmbo’s husband, also maintains a loving relationship with his stepsons and had earlier celebrated Nino warmly on his birthday.
