‘Gongo a So’ singer, 9ice, has explained how he became a traditionalist.
He says he is neither a Muslim nor Christian, stressing that an incident made him become an Ifa devotee.
In an interview on actress Nancy Isime’s show, 9ice recalled how he was saved by a traditionalist when he got poisoned in 2010.
“I’m not a Christian or a Muslim, I’m a Babalawo. I’m an African. I’m a traditionalist. The first time I experienced ifa was when I was vomiting blood. Someone referred me to ifa. I just wished that I had known ifa at the beginning. Fela used to go to Ogun and people were mocking him, but now, I understand,” he declares.
