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? See his reasons...

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.
