9ice says he plans to quit music for politics

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.

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 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!

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*

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

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.

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...

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
