In an interview with
Sun News, 9ice says he plans to quit music to concentrate fully on politics because he can't be singing at 35. He can't? What he said below...
Yes, I want to leave music for politics. Next year January, I will be
35-years-old and I’m not praying to still be in music at that age. I am
serious about politics now. If you listen to my music, you would notice
that politics has been part of me; it’s in my blood. When I started
initially, I talked about being your brother’s keeper, and that’s why I
studied Law at Lagos State University before I dropped out to
concentrate on my music career. I hate when things go wrong. When two or
three people are having issues, I love to get there to settle their
differences. I have passion for politics and it has always been in my
blood."
If you go fully into politics, most of your friends and fans will miss you?
I will say they will love me more by the time they see the plans that
I have for them. I have so many plans on my mind. Imagine if the late
Fela Anikulapo-Kuti was a politician, he will not just criticize the
mistakes of our leaders but also correct them. Imagine if Wole Soyinka
was to be the president of this nation, people like him are only
preaching the truth and criticising the government but they are not
ready to get into politics to make corrections. I am tired of preaching,
I want to contribute my own quota for the sake of my people. We have
graduates riding commercial motorcycles (okada), selling meat etc, their
certificates are not being used but they are shouting that the
government is not doing well. There can’t be any change if the youths
don’t stand-up now to do something to help the country.

And u already have three Bby mama, Wat example r u showing? Who r you deceiving
A lotta political leaders also criticised the government from the outside...but changed when they entered politics...some of them were genuine critics too
Na wa. Every artiste na politian na o. Nice 4 president.
He knows what he wants and seem persuaded by it. Just try to be different we are tired of same of same! Good luck.
My broda go do business if ur music career don end...wiv love from England
Enjoy your self
BASORUN GAA!!!
HE SPOKE WELL....LET'S HOPE HE'LL DO WELL
POLITICIANS MOUTH CAN SWEET EH...HMM
gbengadennis@Yahoo. com
We don hear...
Money s involve na u don dscover ur ya talent.
Abeg park well
Most times the graduates can't defend their certificate.... student shld learn to go to school for the purpose to aquire knowledge not for the fun of it...
some how i have a feeling this dude will do well in politics but him saying he cant be singing at 35 don't make sense Ron isley is 64 Ron stewart is 70 like wise Bono and Elton john obesere pasuma king sunnay ade etal are over 40 and they are singing how bout femi kuti and tubaba so oga 9ice wa ya say i would have preferred if he started from counselor to chairman or the state house of assembly and not fed house does he have the financial muscle to fight it out ok o gbamu gbamu jigijigi
I like your expression but politics is more than that.
You look responsible than Mr tetuila golden hair, I guess u see above him & understand better on like Mr golden hair waiting for being elected before he will have his haircut
BORN TO SHINE!!!
I couldn't elect a man with multiple baby mamas. Planting his seed in every woman he meets is the height of irresponsibility. Atiku is proof that over fertile men are accepted in Nigeria. 9ice has a shot!
Okay Good plan but will you fulfil it? Power corrupts. Take it from me.
##QUEEN OF LIB##
This country God will hlp us... He Is a drop out nd he wnts to go into politics what a country!!
Mr 9ice ooo,what about them dbanj and tuface who are still into music..

Anyways politics is all comer , abi which other job you wan get with your school cert, abeg go back to school and finish your law degree jare.
Politics is not easy ooo broda but wish U good luck and progress.

Let all the youth rise up not just coming on LIB to make noise.
I think music left him a long time ago
It's obvious he got into music nt out of passion bt out of hunger.If he loved music,he wld sing till 100 yrs....N did I jst read dt he is aa drop out?..God.
My dear ice nt everybody is meant for politics,dnt waste ur hard end money on politics ,my dear trade wisely nt stupidly#bebo
You hate when things go wrong.when people fight. yet you could not resolve your marital issues but want to resolve national issues. nah wah. Charity they say begins at home
Ok oooo
if elected please do not embezzle money becos we all know d reason why ya'll re going into politics is becos music has failed and in other for you to continue making a hell of money u need to go into politics...let ur salary be ur aim not the gbem u want to steal by awarding contracts to companies that dont exist for ur selfish interest....Dan Boiz Segun

That's what all aspiring politicians do say, going dere to right d wrong. Goodluck to you sha
Music have given him the publicity he needed I think politics will favour him more.goodluck to him
Preach on 9ice....I honestly feel a genuine appreciation in my heart that you possibly mean to serve the nation very well at your own level. Just don't disappoint o.
God Bless Nigeria.
yes I love your faith go! for u will succeeded
Goodluck to you..
I think he is correct. Youth have to take power in this country.
Because you will clock 35 next year, that's your reason 4 indulging in2 politics that u know nothing of. ««««««QU££NMA¥A»»»»»»

Well OK. He can't be any worse than our current crop of money grabbers.
Kimmy*****
This must be a huge joke right? His reason for delving into politics comes across as shallow and watery...good luck same.
Yes o, there is money to loot in government.
I pray, let it b as u said 9ice. Wen our nigerian ppl becom politicians its as if they've changed to anoda bin, like d devil nd will 4get wat dey pland 4 d ppl cuz money nd power hav intoxicatd dia dumb brain.
Nawa ooo....What happened to the GRAMMY you promised to give we your fans Mr 9ice?

Nice speech. We will c wat wil bcom of u in few yrs time.
Ooo serious o alapomeji! Okay be a good ambassador of your dear musical fans all of the country.I wish you all the best.
wetin he stil dey wait for. HE no fit sing again na. Go wit ur plan
gud plan, go ahead cus he is doing nting in music industry
This guy na mumu o, but who cares if you do or don't do music? As for one I won't miss your music at all. 2face idibia is 39years and still doing good music, King Sunny Ade is around 68years and still doing music. Age has nothing to do with music, music is life and passion. Its okay to say you are taking time off music becuz of political work but to say you are too old to do music is foolish. *ThatFunctionGuy*
O level politician
Only in Nigeria that certain people change careers as they like...mtsheeeew
And he couldn't manage his marriage. Bia Linda you're yet to write about Tiwa and her hubby. Let me believe you're gathering facts.
I wish you All the best Alapomeji.................
I believe diz guy has chances of winning then any other celeb i've seen
Stop dreaming and face your real stuff-music. If not, by the time you begin to see stars, you will forget where to draw the line. So be wise Mr. Gongo Aso.
He haf loss again in life
Why d hell did he not start frm state house
Anyways, there again, evrytin is possible in nig
Please tell this illiterate drop out to let us hear word. We are not fools. You intend to drop music because it's not paying you, so politics should now pay you instead. Bad news for you son, you will definitely still be singing at 40. My advise? Just polish your grammar as soon as possible as you will have to be competing with the new acts in the music industry
Wow can he handle politics Linda Ikeja pls answer that
Can 9ice handle politics he better sticks to music
Better respect ur sef
Put ur home in order first!
Using poltics as an excuse to run away
He nor get song to sing again
all dis na wash...wen he enta..na he go chop money pass
when they run out of ideas, they look at politics. empty vessels!!! shiorrrr!!!!
When you have nothing else to give as a musician,you are free to join politics before you go bankrupt.as for our graduate youths that are riding Okada,find yourself in their shoes and see how possible you can make a change in this country when you can barely feed your family.well,I wish you luck mr 9ice,but in case you didn't make it,remember that music is also in your blood.
Ur music ain't selling again.BARRISTER O.
Mr 9ice uv got my vote
Interesting
Who cares?
how can anyone ever take this clown seriously
Sure boy....loving this dude
The guy music don fall. Politics na sure way of chewing tight.
Wish him the best of luck,but this goes to show the mindset of present day music stars,no real passion for music.What should the likes of Sunny Ade then be doing at over sixty yrs of age.
we wait n see
linda post my comment o
Na yoruba him wan speak for the house?
I think 9ice is fool, he says he cant sing at age 35, tuface is 37 and still sings, sunny ade is over 60 and still sings femi kuti is over 50 and still sings kwam 1 is over 60 and still sings, fatai rolling dollar died a musician, micheal jackson who is a god in music died singing.. i think 9ice is out of ideas as a musician, he is just another confused fellow, fela said it all music is spiritual, it is a gift and not something you start and stop.. it leaves with you for ever...
Best of luck to u
mr baby papa!! cn u manage a hamlet??? ahbeg go sit down.
I AM CHOCBOY
What he really means is, NOONE cares about my music anymore, so I need a new, easy way to steal money from gullible nigerians.

I tot we'v gone over dis befor... We don hear u ooo Mr 9ice guy

Mr. 9guy I have heard you, but please don,t repit it again.
Go and complete you education. Its because of people like you that bought admission and spoil the chances of the good ones and force them to local school and truncate their future. They sell meat abi. In US graduates also sell meat, same for UK same for UAE. They dont wait for government or to become politicians. They use their education to bring in innovations in meat selling. Ask Adams Oshiomole how far, #####some people are born to make noise. Stay where you are. Afam bu Tanko
Mr. 9guy I have heard you, but please don,t repit it again.
2face sef stil small, wat abt sunny ade n d lyks. Well OYO is dere case. Beebee
Its only in Nigeria where a college drop out will have the tenacity to even think of politics, talk more of actually running for an office,
Is now a trend in Nigeria for those in entertainment industry to jump into politics.they should all know DAT politics is not a role u r giving to act out,politics is real n dirty.Godluck to dem shaa
If 9ice doesn't will, he'll go back to studio am sure
If 9ice doesn't win, he'll go back to studio am sure
In nigeria constitution wht is require to context for any political office is school cert.not abt ur degree is wht u can offer to d ppl .we have so many congradute dat can nt defend there university certificate so wht re u talking about ?
