After having one ofthe 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 itsalwaysbeen his dream.

You were said to havepulled outofyour Law programme at theLagosState Universityto face music. That decision paid off, butyou seem not to be happy aboutitnow?

I didn’t pull outbecause of music; I leftschool because I was unable to pay myschool fees. While I wason the street, I gave hundred percent ofmylife to musicand it paid offeventually. When I wasin school, I was just doing musicfor fun until I left school. At that point, I decided thatI wasgoing to face music passionatelyand from that point, things changed. Your decision to leave school wouldn’thavegone down well with your parents, how did theyreact to it and what was constantlycoming to your mind back then?

It was not an easy decision to make. ThereweredaysthatI had to livein the studio. Talking about my parents’ reaction, I had to lie for a while, pretended as ifall was well. Beforemy parents knew I wasn’t in school, it was too late to complain becauseI was alreadyon TVs, making moneyand rocking showsall around.

Would you consider going back to school someday?

I’m in school already, studying public safetyand Common Law atCapella university. Itis an online programme. I can’t think of anyother courseexceptlaw.

Would you trade your being famous for something elseifyou look at some ofthe bad side of fame that you haveexperienced over time?

Yes, I will love to trade fame with somesilentlife that doesnotarrogate too much attention to one, but it has got nothing to do with any bad experience. No matter whatyou do or who you are, there’s alwaysa difficulttimeand life challenges that you can’trun away from. ButI will reallylove to tradebecause I wish to bea lawyer.That has always been mydream.

Do you think life would havebeen differentfor you should you have been a lawyer? Honestly, lifeas a normal person isfineand morewonderful, free, fair and peaceful. Butasa public figure, you enjoymore and you pay morein termsof theprice you pay for being famous. If I come to this world again, I would prefer normal life.
