9ice Thrilled Ondo State at Gov Aiyedatiwa's Inauguration Gala Night

  


Renowned Nigerian hip-hop and Afrobeats artiste, Mr Abolore Adegbola Akande, popularly known as 9ice, captivated the audience with his superlative performance at the recent Gala Night held during the swearing-in and inauguration ceremony of the Ondo State Governor, His Excellency, Hon Lucky Aiyedatiwa, and the Ondo State Deputy Governor, His Excellency, Dr Olayide Adelami, mni, in Akure, the Ondo State capital, yesterday.


9ice thrilled the people of Ondo State from all 18 local government areas, as well as foreign dignitaries and friends of the governor.


The charged atmosphere reached its peak of excitement when Adigun Alapomeji (Bashorun Gaa) performed his famous hit song, "Gongo Aso," released in 2008. The captivating melody immediately caught the attention of the Ondo State First Lady, Her Excellency, Mrs Oluwaseun Aiyedatiwa, a statuesque and elegant figure, who gracefully rose from her seat in the company of her children and stepped on the stage for a dance. This prompted a thunderous applause from the already enthralled crowd as she moved elegantly to the rhythm of Mr 9ice's chart-topping track. The song, "Gongo Aso," still resonating globally, electrified the open-air Dome arena, the venue of the event.


It was reliably gathered that the hip-hop musical meastro, 9ice, known for his philanthropy, generously supported many individuals both within and outside the venue. Other esteemed musicians such as King Sunny Ade, KSA, Bidemi Olaoba, Evangelist Remilekun Amos, Daddy Showkey, Small Doctor, and others also performed at the colorful event, where attendees were treated to a sumptuous feast.


It would be recalled that the "Gongo Aso" earned the talented singer, songwriter, and dancer from Ogbomosho four prestigious awards at the 2009 Hip Hop World Awards held at the International Conference Centre in Abuja: Album of the Year, Artiste of the Year, Song of the Year, and Best Rap in a Pop Album. Additionally, he clinched the title of Best Hip Hop Artist of the Year at the MTV Africa Music Awards. 9ice is renowned for his mastery of the Yoruba language in his music, his profound proverbial and lyrical content, and his unique Afro-style delivery.




Notably, this gracious and unassuming artiste had the honour of performing at the Nelson Mandela 90th Birthday Tribute Concert in London in June 2008.


The gala night will be etched in the memories of the guests as many threw caution to the wind to really have an enjoyable moment of their lives.
