Nigerian singer Abolore Adegbola Akande, aka 9ice, is
gradually considering acting as a second career. He has accepted to play a lead
role in Laide Bakare‘s new flick ‘Jejere‘ (Tumour).
According to Bakare, ‘the film, which is produced by Sim
Line International, is about an African hero that saved his environment‘.
In the film, which was shot in three weeks, 9ice plays a
husband and father.
On the role he played in the movie, 9ice said ‘I played
Dele, who had a bad experience in his first marriage following the sudden
demise of his wife. He was left alone to cater for his little daughter.
The ‘Gongo Aso’ singer said the challenges were quite
different when compared to what he experienced in the music industry.  ‘I
learnt a whole lot; most importantly the cast on set becomes a unified entity
after several days on set together .’
“Being the first time on set, I have to act, cry when
nothing is actually wrong with me, laugh when nothing is really funny. I also
have to depict this character in the presence of others. It is a privilege to
be part of ‘Jejere’ and I look forward to the premiere‘ he said.
Asked if he has any intention to go into acting, 9ice
replied in the affirmative, ‘if the pay  is right with good content and
the standard is on point, why not?’
Other actors in the movie include Emeka Ike, Oby Alex O,
Fathia Balogun, Akin Lewis, Ebun Oloyede, and Bakare herself.
