9ice drops "tradition" today Dec 7th and latest news

After releasing his wonder album, Gongo Aso, which propelled him to the top class among Nigerian artistes, nothing was heard of 9ice for a long time, and it was beginning to look as if he could not come up with anything else.

But as if to prove critics wrong, he says he is coming out with another album that also promises to be a hit. It is titled “Tradition”.

Concerning the new album, 9ice said he would not leave any stone unturned in a bid to deliver an album that would be widely accepted.

“All is now ready for the album. We have finalised collaborations. We have mixed and mastered the album and we are good to go. December 7 is the release date,” he boasted.

With collaborations from France-based Nigerian music star, Asa; Germany-based Nigerian, Nneka; Snow and Wise, 9ice said the album would contain 16 tracks.

The album which records production credits from ID Cabasa, Cheffo, Terry G and Dr. Frabz will be released under Alapomeji Records, and distributed by Soforte Entertainment.

With two songs of the album, Gbamu Gbamu and Energy, currently rocking the airwaves, 9ice said, “It goes a long way to show that when you are good at what you do, people will keep appreciating you. I came into this industry in a bid to do what I love doing, and now I have satisfaction, fulfilment and my career is booming. We have won the MOBO, MTV awards and HHWA, thanks to the support of the media and my fans nationwide. We are now very close to Grammy.”

Born Abolore Akanda, 9ice first made an impression on the Nigerian music scene with his first album, Little Money. But he only got massive recognition inside and outside the country with the release of his monster single, Gongo Aso in December 2007.

Husband Infects Wife With HIV By Pricking Her With Sewing Needle While She Slept


The 35-year-old injected his blood into the sleeping woman, who had refused to have a physical relationship for a year after discovering he was carrying the virus that causes Aids.

He pricked her twice with a sewing needle laced with his blood, believing the pair would be 'equals' once more. But he was behind bars in New Zealand today awaiting sentencing after admitting infecting another person with a disease.

The husband had emigrated to the country in 2004 with his wife and two young children, none of whom can be named.

Immigration officials found he had HIV, but his wife and children did not, during compulsory health checks.

The woman, 33, confronted her partner on discovering she was infected a year later.

She said: 'All he said was he was sorry. He told me "I used needles on you because I wanted you to be the same as me so that you can live with me and you won't leave me".'

She told the court: 'I just wanted to maintain the relationship for the sake of the children...He insisted on staying and mentioned that he was not worried about sex...any more. All he wanted was to see the children grow with both parents under one roof.'

But in May last year, she said, she discovered a sting-like mark on her left thigh. 'After having a shower I put some lotion on myself and I could feel pain on my thigh. When I looked at it, it was turning red like a circle, getting and bigger.'
When she asked him what he was doing, he pushed past her and walked away, refusing to discuss it. The wife searched a rubbish bin for evidence of the syringe but found nothing.

The paper reported that two days later the wife woke to a stinging feeling in her leg. 'In my sleep I felt a prick on my leg I got up..and I flicked the blankets...I looked at (the husband) and he was wide awake.'

She said she asked him if he had pricked her and he said he had not. But later she found evidence of 'blood sprinkles' on their duvet, which, she said, her husband tried to hide from her.
She told him to leave the house - and in September, when her doctor suggested a test at a routine check-up, she found she was HIV-positive.

A nurse who had been in contact with the family and who was present when her GP told her the bad news told the court: 'At this meeting (the woman) was beside herself with emotion. (She) could not work out how she had got HIV because she stated that she had not had sex with her partner for about a year.'

Later, during a meeting with an infectious disease specialist, the husband cried and repeated: 'Please forgive me.'
This is hilarious
