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.

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...
ReplyDeletesome 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
ReplyDeleteI like your expression but politics is more than that.
ReplyDeleteYou 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!
ReplyDeleteOkay Good plan but will you fulfil it? Power corrupts. Take it from me.
ReplyDelete##QUEEN OF LIB##
This country God will hlp us... He Is a drop out nd he wnts to go into politics what a country!!

ReplyDeleteMy dear ice nt everybody is meant for politics,dnt waste ur hard end money on politics ,my dear trade wisely nt stupidly#bebo
ReplyDeleteYou 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
ReplyDeleteOk oooo

ReplyDeleteKimmy*****
This must be a huge joke right? His reason for delving into politics comes across as shallow and watery...good luck same.
ReplyDeleteYes o, there is money to loot in government.
ReplyDeleteI 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.

ReplyDeleteOoo serious o alapomeji! Okay be a good ambassador of your dear musical fans all of the country.I wish you all the best.
ReplyDeletewetin he stil dey wait for. HE no fit sing again na. Go wit ur plan
ReplyDeletegud plan, go ahead cus he is doing nting in music industry
ReplyDeleteThis 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*
ReplyDeleteO level politician
ReplyDeleteOnly in Nigeria that certain people change careers as they like...mtsheeeew
ReplyDeleteAnd 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.
ReplyDeleteI wish you All the best Alapomeji.................
ReplyDeleteI believe diz guy has chances of winning then any other celeb i've seen
ReplyDeleteStop 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.
ReplyDeleteHe haf loss again in life
ReplyDeleteWhy 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
ReplyDeleteWow can he handle politics Linda Ikeja pls answer that
ReplyDeleteCan 9ice handle politics he better sticks to music
ReplyDeleteBetter respect ur sef
ReplyDeletePut ur home in order first!
ReplyDeleteUsing poltics as an excuse to run away
ReplyDeleteHe nor get song to sing again
all dis na wash...wen he enta..na he go chop money pass
ReplyDeletewhen they run out of ideas, they look at politics. empty vessels!!! shiorrrr!!!!
ReplyDeleteWhen 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.
ReplyDeleteUr music ain't selling again.BARRISTER O.
ReplyDeleteMr 9ice uv got my vote
ReplyDeleteInteresting
ReplyDeleteWho cares?
ReplyDeletehow can anyone ever take this clown seriously
ReplyDeleteSure boy....loving this dude
ReplyDeleteThe guy music don fall. Politics na sure way of chewing tight.
ReplyDeleteWish 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.
ReplyDeletewe wait n see
ReplyDeletelinda post my comment o
ReplyDeleteNa yoruba him wan speak for the house?
ReplyDeleteI 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...
ReplyDeleteBest of luck to u
ReplyDeletemr baby papa!! cn u manage a hamlet??? ahbeg go sit down.
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeletehaleluyah somebody.money no dey inside music again,na politics dey rain now.Ok o no wahala
ReplyDeleteI tot we'v gone over dis befor... We don hear u ooo Mr 9ice guy

ReplyDeleteGo 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
ReplyDeleteMr. 9guy I have heard you, but please don,t repit it again.
ReplyDeleteIts 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,
ReplyDeleteIs 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
ReplyDeleteIf 9ice doesn't will, he'll go back to studio am sure
