4 Reasons Why P-Square Should Stick Together

So it’s pretty obvious that there’s a bit of bad blood festering
amongst the Okoye brothers whether we like it or not. We’re not trying
to make a mountain out of a mole hill, but you must admit even brothers
are susceptible to misunderstandings every once in a while.

Let’s leave the past where it belongs… in the past, and talk about
the now. Recently, news surfaced that Peter, the P-Square twin with the
crew-cut was in the process of constructing a bottling and factory
somewhere in Lagos (which if true, is fantastic news). Also, Paul, the
dread-locked twin went on Instagram to share a BTS of his “best 40
P-Square songs” and the brains behind each song’s success. Now you’ll
agree with me that this isn’t such a bad thing, until you see his
captions for the posts;

“…written by me, produced by me and performed by me”, 
“…produced by j.martins, written by me, performed by psquare”

Now, I don’t think Paul was up to anything mischievous, however
P-Square fans took the matter personal and some were of the opinion that
Paul was trying to take all the shine and make Peter appear untalented
(I’m sure this wasn’t his intention). Anyway, as we await Paul’s
remaining Instagram posts and observe his fan’s reaction, here are 4
reasons why we must remind the Okoye brothers to stick together.

   1. Bond of Brotherhood

Doesn’t this just remind you of the lines to MI’s song Brother, where Nosa sang on the hook…

Need I say more? Moreso, they’re not just brothers, they are twins!
Two halves of an egg or something (sorry I didn’t pay attention during
biology). Blood as they say is thicker than water and by the Chinese
concept of Taoism – Yin/Yang – they’re two halves that in togetherness
complete their wholeness. The need to stand as one because one can’t
thrive without the other. It is common knowledge that they both have
unique gifts but it just won’t be the same if one person has to do what
two can do with less stress. As much as Paul can write beautiful songs,
and Peter still has the hot bod with killer moves, neither would have
gotten as far as they are today if they didn’t think to join forces.

   2. The Hits 

PSquare – not Peter, not Paul – PSquare, have been able to churn out a steady stream of hits from Story to Bizzy Body, Senorita to Do Me, Alingo, Personally up till Collabo. We
the fans have danced and sang until our voices became hoarse to the
brothers and what they represented. Now we do not really want to know
who wrote the song, or who choreographed what. It’s not that we don’t
appreciate each one’s input, we just want the total package you both
serve. Having a chain of hits only means they would be in hot demand and
as such, they are in the caliber of artistes like 2face, Asa and D’Banj
who have grossed millions from countless music tours and sold out shows
all over Africa and out. So why would they want to stop now?

   3. The Albums

As the industry progresses, you can be sure that P-Square are ever
ready to evolve with the change and embrace new trends. This has become a
strong feat that has been evidenced in their track record of six albums
to date – each one containing at least  5 hits from an average number
of 12 songs. Believe it (or not), that’s very impressive especially when
you come from an industry like ours where the competition is very
healthy but quite tough and at the same time stifling. P-Square have not
only pulled through but they’ve also held sway. They’re their own order
of artistes often presenting their musical takes, style and flavour in
all their records. I bet you don’t want to know what happens if they’ll
have to go.

   4. The Industry

Let me clarify. The industry certainly depends on P-Square. I mean,
what’s a Nigerian music industry without them? Is it their songs? Oh,
their videos perhaps? It’s just a P-Square thing infact! Every of the
industry’s big act unofficially forms a major backbone of this music
movement that has been built from time immemorial. P-Square in their
fashion has commandeered an army of fans who would suffer should they
think to entertain rash decisions leading to a split. Are they aware the
number of artistes they inspire? Or the one’s who still look up to them
by tailoring their own success after theirs? Would it interest them to
know they’re the longest standing group (of the millennial era though)
who are still kicking ass at their craft? ( Not forgetting Skuki)

All good things definitely come to an end but a split doesn’t make
our good list. Besides, for two guys who attained this order of fame and
have excelled for long while at it, I can’t think of anything at this
point that poses a serious threat to breaking them up. The same way they
overcame storms and tests of the past is the very way they can get
ahead of those in the future – and that is by sticking it out – with
each other. It’ll be very unfair and heartbreaking (for some) if Nigeria
has to lose it’s utterly famous twins. Oh look, that’s another reason there!
