Dr Sid dedicates 40th birthday to parents

Surulere crooner, Dr Sid has taken to social media to celebrate his parents as he turns 40.

 

In a beautiful post dedicated to his parents on his Instagram page, the singer said he would not have been successful if not for the impact of Justus Esiri, his late father, and Omiete, his mother.

 

Sid also went on to appreciate others who have influenced his life positively in one way or other, adding that he hopes to celebrate them in a big way.

“I would have love to share this day with both my parents but 1 will have to do. They both shaped the man I have become today. So as I celebrate the big 40, I want to celebrate my parents and everyone who has been part of my growth and development. Thank you. Big announcement coming soon,” he wrote on Friday.
