9ice marks birthday *Apologises to Ruggedman, pressmen

Last Sunday, January 17, was a remarkable date for Gongo Aso singer, 9ice, as he celebrated his 36th birthday in grand style at entertainment hangout, Fab 25, located in Ikeja, GRA, Lagos. The birthday, which was graced by friends and colleagues including select media men kicked-off at 3pm.

After cutting his birthday cake to loud applause and singing as guests sipped champagne, the singer shared his feelings and apologised to his old time pal and rapper, Ruggedman and the Nigerian press, thanking the media for the role it has played in his career.

“I want to thank the Press. You have been there for me even when I never envisaged I’ll go this far. When 9ice was nobody, you made me to be somebody, you made things real.

“I have realized that there is a vacuum between 9ice and the Press; I don’t want to take chances again. To the press I’m saying I’m very sorry. You guys should just forgive me; I be small boy. If I have offended you guys in anyway, I’m saying I’m very sorry. I’m using this platform to apologize. If I have offended you by not allowing you have access to me for a long time. I think it was due to situations around me.

“I’m also using this platform to apologize to my friend from another mother, Stephens Ugochukwu aka Ruggedman. We have come a long way and it’s time to forge ahead.”

Present at the occasion were CityPeople publisher, Seye Kehinde, Global Excellence publisher, Mayor Akinpelu, Reminisce, Seriki, ID Cabassa, Thuphat, Jahbless and Lord of Ajasa among a host of musicians and comedians who graced the event.

Though he released his debut album, Certificate in 2006, success came for 9ice in 2007 when he released his runaway hit, Gongo Aso, and ever since he has never looked back.

It was later he told me he was done with SQN and I couldn’t believe it!” According to him, he has no issues with Chuddy K’s desire to jump ship. However he says if Chuddy K wants to leave, it must be done legally. “He has all rights to say he is done but it has to be done within the ambits of the law; it has to be done legally because there is a binding contract. To be honest with you, I really don’t know what led to his decision to leave. He just ca...

Actress Mary Uranta’s allegation: My story By TONY OGAGA ERHARIEFE

In its travel advisory, the Goethe Institute had warned: ‘Pack an umbrella and a sweater.’ For no particular reason I had ignored the warning and I was about to learn the hard way. As soon as we touched down at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, Nairobi, for the 10 Cities project, sponsored by Goethe Institute, Nairobi and designed to capture the evolution of club culture and music in 10 cities across the world, I knew I was in a different environment. For one, the air smelt clean but the weather was cold, so cold I could feel it in my marrows. We had spent two brainstorming days that included power point presentations, in-depth discussions and debates. Now the organisers felt we should take a retreat and visit one of Kenya’s treasured resorts, Lake Naivisha, located in Nairobi’s countryside and elevated at 6000 feet above sea level. It promised to be an exciting experience as we had been informed that the journey would take us through the rift valley, which I had read about in the ...
