BROTHERS BUT STRANGERS: MY TAKE ON P SQUARE SEPARATION.



BROTHERS BUT STRANGERS: MY TAKE ON P SQUARE SEPARATION.
C (2018)     CHIBU NDUBUISI           20/02/2018   WEEK 8

  











Peace be upon you.
Why did P Square brothers failed to find their square roots in business after marriages?
Why did they not part ways before their marriages?
Why did the women they married, failed to help cement the business relationship that existed before they came in?
 How can we manage when the “Game is Over”? How can we read the signs that the game is about to be over and make the necessary adjustment?

I will carefully bring out some lyrics by the P Square brothers that got me thinking and made me to keep asking, why the separation?.  The first is from the Album "The Invasion" (2011)  “Me & My Brother" in the track they sang
As you see me and my brother ey (ey)
no be say we do pass oh
no be say we school pass oh
but e be like say na we dem bless pass
As you see me and my brother ey (ey)
no be say we sing pass oh
no be say we dance pass oh
but e be like say na we dem bless pass
What happened my P Square brothers to the blessings?

Listening to another Album "Get Squared" (2005) in the track “Story” they sang
"Twelve years ago when we started dancing
Imitating, miming Michael Jackson
They used to call us Paul and Peter
We realize say P-Square better
When our mates dey bubble, we dey huzzle
To make sure our music go escape
Us from trouble
Then we dey try to understand why
Some people are not the same
From one competition to another
Our mama use to tell us not to bother
Cause we dey play, we dey sing
We dey dance for the same shows
eeh....at the same time".

My P Square brothers why did you stop playing, dancing and singing together? After all these songs of thanksgiving about your successes and the advice from  your late mother, why the separation?

A Poet Daniel Defoe averred that
“Wherever God erects a house of prayer,
The Devil always builds a chapel there,
And 'twill be found upon examination,
The latter has the largest congregation”

After this PSquare separation what is happening to their careers now? I know that it is too early to judge. My humbly plea, is for them to consider coming back even after “Tasting the Money” and “Tasting the Bitterness of Estrangement”. They should not allow “The Devil to build a chapel in their homes”.

My take on this is for Peter and Paul to come back and give us more hit tracks. Kill that pride. Who is without a fault? “NOBODY UGLY” as you sang. Then why act ugly?

This message is not for the P SQUARE brother alone. It is for me, you and those who needs reconciliation.

P SQUARE brothers, PLEASE, MAKE PEACE HAPPEN AGAIN.

Peace be with you.

                                                                                      Rising Africa: A Narrative of Hope                                           07/08/2017 By Chibu Ndubuisi Peace be with you. In the year 2000, The Economist magazine called Africa "the hopeless continent" hence I am presenting a  narrative of hope about  "Our Rising Africa". The story of Africa is not about hunger,poverty, famine,war,  corruption,  tyranny, dictatorship,  terrorism,  child marriage,  genitial mutiliation, unfavourable inheritance laws for women, advance fee fraud, kidnapping,  ineffectual bureaucracy,  failure of leadership, workers not paid their salaries, sexual offences against children, genocide,  poor infrastructures,  diseases etc.i want to present a narrative of work in progress in African countries and how hope is been given back to people who once had "paradise lost". In their book, Execution: the Discipline of Getting Things Done(2002), aut

RESIST ARREST

                                                        RESIST ARREST                                                   CHIBU NDUBUISI 08/2017 Peace be to you. To resist anything requires knowledge and courage not to give in or yield to antics of entanglement. Captivity stifles and limits.  Captivity is not only when you are holed up in a physical place, it is more than that.  Some have developed  life patterns that resist unhealthy, unproductive and needless distractions which stares at us on a daily basis, by the choices they made, they resisted arrest. while some just flow with the current passively and are arrested by ldeas that have fractured the world.  Eighty two(82) Chibok girls were released from captivity by Boko Haram terrorist organisation in a prisoner swap deal yesterday(7/5/2017). The negotiating teams had a noble obligation of  making sure that no matter the provocations, human life matters.   That human life must be protected and provided for at all cost. They

CURSED OR THE CAUSE.A LESSON IN MISCALCULATION AND MISADVENTURE.   (1) C (2018)                     CHIBU NDUBUISI                           02/04/2018     WEEK 14 “Be careful what you pray for because you may get it and regret”              Peace be upon you. As part of the electioneering jingle repertoire of former Governor of Anambra State Peter Obi, who kicked off his campaign by waxing philosophical in 2003, by posing two questions to the electorate, he asked; are we Cursed or are we the Curse in Anambra state? Taking into account the plunder and pillage the state has been subjected to by political gladiators with the connections to abduct a sitting Governor (Chris Ngige) and the support of the central government.   For many months, teachers were not paid their salaries during the era of Mbadiniju, who turned from an elected Governor to elected evangelist; he absconded and displayed negligence of the duty of statecraft of fashioning good policies, to declarin
