Abolore Akande, popularly known as 9ice, has declared that his eyes are fixed on a seat at the House of Representatives in the next election.



He announced his intention to contest for the House of Representatives in 2015 but did not mention the state or political party under which he would contest.

However, his fans believe that the multi-award-winning musician may contest either in Lagos or Oyo state, his original state. He is from Ogbomoso in Oyo state.

9ice, who is just making up with his estranged wife, Toni Payne, disclosed on a television programme, ‘Artiste of the Week’ at the weekend that he is looking at 2015, because he plans to obtain a degree in Law before contesting.

9ice, who does not currently have a university degree, said as part of his plans, he is currently taking an online course in Public Administration at the Minneapolis-based Capella University.

“You know in Naija (Nigeria) they believe if you don’t go to school, you can’t govern, you can’t lead, so it has become a barrier.

“In this era you have to be educated. Politics has been in me since I was young,” 9ice said.

When asked about his relationship with estranged wife Toni Payne, he said although they were separated, “she is still my legal wife.”

Years back 9ice had said that he used funds meant to purchase his JAMB form to book studio sessions.

Nice move 9ice as per the back to school stuff, but seriously, why politics? Is music no longer paying the money?

Is he contesting to become a babalawo?

@Afam4eva, you are so mean. Lol. He said House of Reps.

What is he going there to do? What does he know about governance or law making? If we continue like this, the future of this country is danmed.

9ice,

Why Capella?

Wait till you find yourself being heckled across the floor for no greater crime than holding a Capella-degree

Even when you dont know you can learn and become better than those who do.

^^^How do you mean. He's a citizen of Nigeria. He has the right to vote and be voted for. Must you be a lawyer to become a house member? Everybody got the constitution right to vote and be voted for.

Alapaomeji

, sharrup!! people like you belong to the stone age era talking without having an in deep sight of life. What to you say about Mr Arnold Alois Schwarzenegger who was former professional bodybuilder, actor, businessman, investor, and politician and served as the 38th Governor of California from 2003 until 2011. You dey there dey yarn rubbish from ur small boy mouth. Nonsense, ignoramus idiot.

He want repeat Bankole's feat

According to ruggedybaba his music is finished I dunno if he has agreed

A good one for the Gongo Aso dude! But i blv he shld beta focus on his law degree and his music career rather than venturing into politics! Fame aint gonna guarantee him a seat in d house of Rep

“In this era you have to be educated. Politics has been in me since I was young,” 9ice said.

@Amakaikeng, did you hear him say money was his problem?

What a wild goose chase.

I wish him all the best, but He should know that politics of Nigeria is beyond fame and luck shikena.

I'm a fan, and I like the fact that he's ambitious, buh seriously, I believe he's getting over ambitious, Well like someone here said, he has the right to vote and be voted for, but as for me, I can't vote for him
Why can't I do that, simple, I'll never vote for someone that doesn't know how to manage his home. As a person aspiring to be a leader, your house is the first point of call, if you can't manage your home, how can you manage the populace.
Not only that though, I believe he's arrogant, He says trash sometimes, talks to people anyhow and can also be very mean (a reference to the way he referred to Baba Nee, and the way he referred to the media in the famous convo between himself and Ruggedman).
All in all, I don't think he can be a good leader anyways, but judging be nigerian politics, we vote based on names and parties, not on ability, so he can be there if he mixes with the right people and with a good platform.

9ice move by 9ICE.

Get your law degree first, then we can discuss politics or music.

That education is important.

It's like one of his Godfathers have assured him of a political position. I don't think online education is enough to make someone a prolific lawyer. There's nothing like the classroom experience. In the future, this dude certainly doesn't have my vote.

God makes d provision 4 all,ur vision determine ur allocation in life,ur mentality determine ur actuality in life.9ice i encourage to move carry on.Sky is the begin.u will get there

Nwanne Owu sa gi ịmarụ ịfe

If d guy has an ambition there's no crime pursuing it. Everybody normally hv their ups and down in marriage dat he's now trying to fix. Even 4rm his songs u'll know dis guy is very intelligent, its just about channeling 'ur talent into positive avenue. 9ice welldone, d sky is d beginning!

this is were the madness is, everybody now thinks you have to be a politicians to be important in the society

Oga nice, since the grammys aint coming as u thought they will, i fink its high time u think of something else

who cares?

why u go dey tackle d guy na? u r discriminating against d guy now cos of wh@? or uu r just hatn? as long as d guy does well

Adigun alpomeji, u too want to chop nigeria moni. Hmmmmmnnnnnnnnn.

How come negativity is just ingrained in some Nairalanders? seriously, if nothing is good enough for you, it'll affect everything in your life.
9ice is a young talented artiste, he stuck to his style and have since been successful. He is not one of those fake Nigerian artistes that release local version of US artistes's songs. So what if he decides to go into politics? are those illiterate opportunistic looters in politics better than him? Y'all need to stop hating!
He's studying law,, you have problem with it, remember you complained that he's not a graduate!
He's in the middle of an online PA degree,, you complain of why an online degree!
Yes, he has challenges with his marriage, is that abnormal? He has answered you guys on the track "enife" on the "Bashorun Gaa" album.
Ride on adigun alapomeji!

9ice is so dumb, everlasting

Alapo MEJI is climbing the ladder aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
