"Being a lawyer has always been my dream" 9ice goes back to school-
After having one of the most successful albums of all time, 9nice has decided to
go back and pursue his career as a lawyer.In this interview with Nigerian
Tribune..he says its always been his dream.
You were said to have pulled out of your Law programme at the Lagos State
University to face music. That decision paid off, but you seem not to be happy
about it now?
I didn’t pull out because of music; I left school because I was unable to
pay my school fees. While I was on the street, I gave hundred percent of
my life to music and it paid off eventually.
When I was in school, I was just doing music for fun until I left school. At
that point, I decided that I was going to face music passionately and from
that point, things changed.
Your decision to leave school wouldn’t have gone down well with your parents,
how did they react to it and what was constantly coming to your mind back
then?
It was not an easy decision to make. There were days that I had to live in
the studio. Talking about my parents’ reaction, I had to lie for a while,
pretended as if all was well. Before my parents knew I wasn’t in school, it
was too late to complain because I was already on TVs, making money
and rocking shows all around.
Would you consider going back to school someday?
I’m in school already, studying public safety and Common Law at Capella
university. It is an online programme. I can’t think of any other course
except law.
Would you trade your being famous for something else if you look at some of
the bad side of fame that you have experienced over time?
Yes, I will love to trade fame with some silent life that does not arrogate
too much attention to one, but it has got nothing to do with any bad
experience. No matter what you do or who you are, there’s always a
difficult time and life challenges that you can’t run away from. But I will
really love to trade because I wish to be a lawyer.That has always been
my dream.
Do you think life would have been different for you should you have been a
lawyer?
Honestly, life as a normal person is fine and more wonderful, free, fair and
peaceful. But as a public figure, you enjoy more and you pay more in terms of
the price you pay for being famous. If I come to this world again, I would prefer
normal life.
