"Being a lawyer has always been my dream", Says 9ice as he 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.
