There were two little black birds sitting on a wall
One named Peter, the other named Paul
Fly away Peter, fly away PaulâŠ
Dear Peter and Paul,
This is Sally. You may not remember me anymore. I used to be a close friend but these days I am sure I do not cross your mind. However, Iâm not holding it against you and I donât think any of your old friends are, either. We all understand that fame can separate people by thousands of miles. Millions, even.
It is how these things go. No hard feelings. We are actually proud of you guys, and hold dear the memories of the past when you were just next door and we could barge in at any time and spend the day together.
All of that seem just like yesterday. Time has run so fast and we have gone our separate ways, facing our realities and dreams. We were privileged to watch you guys grow from the scratch to become the mega superstars you are now. Everyone knew you guys were going to make it big. You were born to reach the top.
But sadly, you are falling so fast. If anyone ever told us money will come between guys, we would have shut them down, told them they had no idea who Peter and Paul were and what they meant to each other.
We donât have all the details of whatâs happening in Squareville and Iâm sure itâs beyond money but when it comes to the point where brothers engage in a war over superiority and who controls what, then Houston, we have a problem.
I hope you guys do realize that you are not just P-Square or just Peter and Paul Okoye. You are now symbols to many out there, ambassadors to Nigeria and Africa. I still use you as a template for hard work and determination. There is no success story as sweet as yours. And just in case you have forgotten, I will remind you a bit, telling it how I saw it from my own angle.
I canât remember when I first met you guys but I had heard about you from friends in Jos. Somehow the name Smooth Criminals always popped out from someoneâs lips. There was talk about these twins who could dance like Michael Jackson and whose family owned the popular Twins Bakery in town. They said you guys schooled in St. Murumba, an all-boys school just a stone throw from my house. But I never met you guys I went to Gwags (University of Abuja) and joined the entertainment club, Lucianos, founded by Tony Oneya.
Lucianos was the place for talent and cool kids, and when I watched you guys during rehearsals for the first time, oh my God! I was struck! I fell in love with any and everything P-Square from that moment. I wasnât much of a dancer then but I always attended rehearsals just to watch you guys dance. Your attention to perfection always blew my mind. Peter, you were a more intense dancer than Paul who could dance as well but was more into the vocal aspect of music.
You guys always brought down the house at Lucianos shows in school. You made established musicians feel like nothing and added flavor to our raves as a club. You were always motivating and inspiring. I remember when Lucianos had an internal crisis and people were thinking of quitting and you, Paul, stood up and gave a passionate speech about working together as a family and pursuing what we believed in. You were upset that we were falling apart when working together could be so easy.
Is there a way you could bring back that guy and let him speak to you both right now?
Outside school, you guys were even more focused. Being that I was jobless during the holidays and had this huge crush on Peter, I was always at your house. But more than anything, I was drawn there to watch the Smooth Criminals rehearse for performances. My Lord, Peter and Paul, you people drilled your team to precision. Not a hand or foot or head was out of place. You worked until you passed out and then youâd provide food for your friends. Your house, like your darling momâs heart (may she rest in peace) was open to everyone. Sometimes I found it strange if I visited and there was no one around. You guys were generous with your warmth towards others.
Paul, I didnât know you so much because you were a little reserved but there was no telling where you stopped and where Peter started. You two were one and your bond was unbreakable. I remember the studio you guys built for yourselves in your house and all the songs you recorded in it. Peter, you would tell me of your dreams and where you wanted to be in the next ten years. Isnât God amazing? You made it, my friend, and surpassed all those dreams. Why are you letting the dream stealer take it all away from you now?
In those days, funds were not easy to come by and costumes were expensive to put together. But you guys always found a way. You would go to Katako market (a popular second-hand market in Jos) and buy bits and pieces of your costumes; come back home and design them until you got what you wanted.
Peter, remember those days in school when you went to lecture halls in the evenings with your guitar and disturbed people who were reading by serenading them with songs? To anyone who wanted to listen to your songs, you were generous with your CDs much to Paulâs annoyance sometimes, who felt there should be a level of restriction to how you distributed it. Gwags loved you, P-Square. There was hardly a soul that didnât know your songs word for word. Before you shared Dem Don Kolo, Last Night and Igbedu to the world, we rocked those songs until we were tired. Every semester, you brought us something new. Your music was your life then. Is it still your life?
And then little by little, you began to get noticed outside Jos and Abuja. I recall that one trip to University of Maiduguri where you had to perform on the same stage with Plantashun Boiz who were a huge deal then. You guys went up first and dazed everyone. Girls were literally weeping as you stood on that stage. I had looked up and stared at 2Face who was sitting at the far end of the spectatorsâ stand and I was sure I saw a look of puzzlement. When they came up for their own performance, the crowd was half-receptive. After they left, chants of âP-Square! P-Square!â rented the air and you had to come back and do it all over again.
Those were days of little beginnings. I am reminding you because thereâs a passage in the scriptures that tells us not to forget them.
In 2002, Owen who was a mutual friend then organized a beauty show sponsored by Coca-Cola and at some point, things were falling apart financially that made him want to quit everything. But you guys walked up to him and told him not to give up, that money should never be a reason to dump his plans, that you were willing to give him the funds he needed even though you had very little. He took your advice and everything fell into place eventually, leading to an awesome show. As usual, you guys brought the house down.
He has never forgotten that day. He spoke to you guys as well, telling you he saw you becoming very famous and wealthy. He urged you never to let anything or anyone tear you apart.
Do you remember his words?
School and life separated me from you guys for a while but we still kept in contact each time we bumped into each other and also back at home. There was gist that Jude was now supporting you. I was happy to hear that at last you were going places. I felt as your eldest brother, he had your best interest at heart.
And then came Benson and Hedges that shot you right into mainstream media and to the rest of Nigeria. It was sad to watch you leave our little sphere but happier we were that you guys were never going to disappoint.
We would hear about you on TV, radio and the internet. Both good and bad but we would hold on to the good because evidence of it was your tangible work that was painting Nigeria in a beautiful light. Just the other day I was fighting some women at the salon who held that you guys had gotten to where you were by using dirty means. Blood money, they said. I was pained, and had to scold women who were old enough to give birth to me. They didnât know the struggle, the agony, the sleepless nights. They knew nothing. But you guys do. Nobody has walked in your shoes to know where it pinches.
You have made us proud, P-Square. I cannot overemphasize this. You have more than done well for yourselves. You achieved that dream, the fame, the name, the money, the acclaim. You guys are a textbook of diligence, focus, drive, strive, talent and love.
Peter, you are the open one. You are sometimes too nice to a fault. Very expressive and emotional, you never see any wrong in your neighbor. Paul, you are focused, driven, no-nonsense. You always curtail Peterâs excesses and he in turn, makes you more humane. Despite the differences, you blended well and brought out ass-kicking music. You woke a lot of young people up, pushed them to pursue their dreams. You brought dance into Nigerian music sphere.
So where did you guys miss it? What went wrong? Can you go back to the scratch, revisit your goals and start all over again? Can you re-invent yourselves? Because maybe that is what you need. Maybe you need a new direction.
Jude, I canât say much for you except you have done so well as a big brother. You stood by them and supported them. You were there the whole nine yards but donât you think itâs time to give them wings to fly? Are you afraid that they will pull down what you have worked so hard for? If thatâs your fear, then Iâm sorry, you donât know your brothers. They will amaze you yet. Just let them breathe out on their own and then be a guide to them. That is what elders do. Your mother was a strong symbol of this. Although a minister in a Catholic charismatic prayer movement, she gave her sons the support they needed in their secular pursuit, cheering them on from the sidelines.
Donât let her prayers go to waste.
I know a lot has changed, guys. You are all grown men; and wives and kids are involved now but you donât want to get grey one day and look back on regret on all this foolishness.
Remember those looking up to you. Remember your fans. Remember your kids. Remember Nigerian music needs you. Remember the days of humble beginnings.
We love you and we donât want you guys to split.
Come back Peter, Come back Paul.

It is now a daily thing for Nigerian celebrities to reply hateful comments directed towards them by their fans.
Gone are the days they ignore their haters, these days, they come punch for punch, kick for kick and sometimes kill for kill.
Here’s a look at 10 of the most memorable response a celebrity gave a fan after hateful comments..
Linda Ikejiâs clap back is probably the most popular one to date.
The blogger quickly replied a fan that she is too rich to buy fake after she was told her costly bag were fake.
Lind Ikeji went on to share 20 photos of her new bag..
Continues in the next series of pages..
A Nigerian woman, Sade was recently arrested for disorderly conduct and getting naked in front of police officers.
The woman, Iyana Sade Llanos, 25, who is a dancer was taken into custody after police responded to a call of two women arguing at The Office Gentleman’s Club in Miami, Florida.
Officers arrived at the club to find Llanos outside the strip club screaming profanities.
When the officers confronted her, she began taking off her clothes and continued shouting at them. The officers reportedly told Sade several times to put her clothes back on but she refused. She was said to have smelled of alcohol.
She then began telling the officers: ‘Take me to jail.’ Sade was placed in hand restraints and put in the back of the car, wrapped in a yellow blanket.
While she was en route to jail, she kicked out a police car window and had to be taken to Jackson Memorial Hospital in Miami to be treated for minor injuries, officers said.
Sade will likely be charged with criminal mischief. She will go to jail after she’s released from the hospital.
UK based celebrity photographer and CEO of Events Reloaded Media, Mayor Rotimi Odunayo made this statement over the fallout from the controversial Hermes bag drama involving blogger Linda Ikeji.
In a post on his website, Rotimi said:
“My gold shoe is worth her bag and she can google it on the internet and see the price and the shop I bought it from in the UK. Linda should focus more on helping and supporting Nigerians with her wealth of experience in the industry not showing off with things of life.
“It is high time Linda keeps quiet and focus on her blogging and think of ways to expand in business and support those that needs to be helped in the society. As per the fight with Wizkid? I believe they can settle it in the closet rather than public.”
2016 happens to be a good year for Yoruba actress, Mosun Filani.. Since getting married about 4 years ago, actress Mosun Filani’s movie roles have declined but that has not stopped her from clinching an ambassadorial deal.

As their ambassador, she is in charge of hosting a radio programme sponsored by Sunlight tagged âSisi Oge and friendsâ on selected radio stations weekly.
Dbanj has been called out for not acknowledging and paying for the beat of his latest hit single, âEmergencyâ.
Dbanj who is currently enjoying a moment in the sun after his 2016 debut single âEmergencyâ received great reception, has ignored the young act, P-Loops who produced the song.
Dbanj recently released the video which was shot by Unlimited L.A, on location in Lagos. But at the time of this report, P-Loops is yet to receive compensation or acknowledgment.
âI just wanted to make something that was Afro, full-time Afro Pop. I wanted to sound like the old school Fela kind of thing.
It was coming in my head, and it kept on ringing, and I knew it was what I wanted to do.â P-Loops told Pulse in a phone conversation.
Olu Maintain listened to the beat, and took it to Dâbanj. The beat originally was for Olu Maintain, but while on the Koko Tour stop in Owerri, Imo State (which is coincidentally the home town of the producer), he played it to Dâbanj who loved it and voiced a new song on it.
For P-Loops that was the end of the beat until January 2016 when he heard the song like any other person. He instantly recognized his beat.
No credit was given to the producer, even his vocal signature on the instrumental had been erased.
âI was in shock when I heard the next morning that the song was out. I didnât record with Dâbanj, I think Olu sent the beat to him, and he recorded.
There was no credit at all, no credit on the promo copy, there was no credit online, no credit whatsoever.
âI did try to talk to them, I talked to Olu Maintain in my office. My trademark was removed. The original beat had my trademark.
I talked to them about it, and we were going to have a brief meeting about it, but till now, there has been no creditâ.
Efforts to contact Dbanj and his team on mobile yielded no result, but this wonât be the first time The Entertainer will find himself in muddy waters with producers ever since his split with Don Jazzy.
The management of Nigeriaâs biggest indigenous telecommunication company, Globacom, has refused to renew P-Squareâs contract as the companyâs ambassador.
While Mike Adenuga recently renewed the contract of its ambassadors, he decided to halt Peter and Paul Okoyeâs endorsements, a situation which means the duo may not remain as the companyâs ambassadors, immediately their current contract expires.
A top manager in GLO, who spoke with Naij.com, on the condition of anonymity disclosed that the decision was imposed due to the show of shame that ensued between the companyâs representatives and Peter, one half of the P-Square twins during the grand finale of the Dance with Peter talent hunt show.
He also admitted that GLO had defaulted on some of its promises made as the sole sponsor of the show but expressed dissatisfaction on how Peter overreacted by insulting our hierarchy in the process.
Reports say that when Mike Adenuga heard of the development, he felt embarrassed and gave the order that Psquare can no longer be his companyâs ambassador.
As at the time of filing this report, efforts to reach P-square to get their reactions on the latest development proved abortive.

Nigerian President, Muhammadu Buhari has tactically rejected an invitation by Saudi Arabia to join the Coalition of Islamic States against Terror.
The president, who is on a week-long visit to Saudi Arabia and Qatar, told his host âand ruler of Saudi Arabia. King Salman Bin Abdul-Aziz, âthat rather than joining the coalition, Nigeria would support the coalition.
âHe spoke at a bilateral meeting between Nigeria and Saudi Arabia in Riyadh hosted by the ruler, King Salman Bin Abdul-Aziz.
The president, who made his first pronouncement on the invitation to join the coalition of Islamic states against terror spearheaded by the Saudis, congratulated the Kingdom on forming the coalition.
He said: âEven if we are not a part of it, we support you. I must thank the Kingdom of SaudiArabia for the recent creation of a coalition to address the menace of international terrorism.
âNigeria will support your efforts in keeping peace and stopping the spread of terror in your region. This is in consonance with our own commitment and on-going efforts in seeking to stamp out Boko Haram terrorists from the West African sub-region and Lake Chad Basin Commission (LCBC).â

Mrs Ramota Kamorudeen, a vegetable seller at Obada market in Iree, Boripe Local Government Area of Osun State, is the mother of Olajumoke Orisagunna, the bread seller in Lagos who recently shot to fame courtesy of ace singer and photographer, T.Y. Bello.
In this interview with Saturday Tribune’s OLUWOLE IGE, Mrs Kamorudeen bares her mind on her daughterâs sudden transformation. Excerpts:
How did you receive the news of your daughter becoming a celebrity overnight?
I was very happy when I heard. It is a thing of joy that my daughter has become an important person in life.
Was there previously a sign or prophecy that Olajumoke would be great in life?
There was no sign and we did not receive any prophecy from a pastor or alfa that she would become famous in the future. What I have always known, however, is that only God has the power to change a personâs status from nothing to something.
I beseeched God to open the door of opportunities for her, let her make it and let anything she laid her hands on in Lagos turn to gold.
I prayed God to make her meet somebody who would help her. Those were my prayers and I thank God that He has answered them.
How would you describe Olajumoke?
She is a lovely child, well-behaved and easygoing. She does not do anything that can bring problem to her or others.
Why did her education stop at the primary school level?
After she left primary school, she told me that she wanted to learn hairdressing, so, we took her to a shop here in Iree where she started to learn the occupation.
That was the reason she did not go beyond primary school. After she completed her apprenticeship a few years ago, we organised a graduation ceremony for her.
Now that Olajumokeâs status has changed, what is your advice for her?
I know that God does things His own way but my advice for her is to allow God to lead her in everything she does and listen to the instructions of people who have helped her to become what she is today.
My prayer is that as God started something great in her life, He would continue to help her so that she would rise and become successful.
Has she called you since her life changed?
Yes, she has called me several times. She even called me the day the good thing happened and explained everything to me.
She told me about how she was discovered by the lady called T. Y. Bello. I was so excited. I danced vigorously to appreciate God for ârememberingâ my daughter.
She has not come back to Iree since that remarkable thing happened to her but we have been communicating on the telephone. We speak on the phone at least six times a day.
How do you see your daughterâs sudden fame?
God has done something so wonderful in my life that I cannot express how joyous I am. My daughter has made me proud. God has set her feet on the path of greatness.
What is your plan now? Do you intend to go and meet your daughter in Lagos?
I want her to settle down first. I will go and meet her in Lagos later. She told me that they would soon travel.
What about her husband, Sunday Orisagunna?
Her husband has gone to meet her since the time she was discovered by T. Y. Bello. One of Jumokeâs children is with her and the other one is here in Iree.
How did you receive the news of Olajumokeâs fortune with her pictures in newspapers and on social media?
She is my sonâs wife but I treat her as my own daughter. I felt very happy when I heard the good news.
Since your son, Sunday, married Olajumoke, how would you describe her attitude?
She has always exhibited a good character. My son met and impregnated her when she was learning hairdressing. My son had phoned me from Lagos and said that if I heard that he impregnated a girl, it was true and he was ready to marry her.
In the evening of that day, somebody brought Jumoke and mentioned Sunday as the one who put her in the family way. I said there was no problem and asked her to come and stay with me. Some weeks later, she brought her luggage and began living with me here.
I soon went to meet her parents and told them that we had accepted her as our wife and daughter. Since she gave birth, I have been taking care of her. Sometime last year, she told me that she was going to Lagos to work and I gave her my blessing.
She dropped her firstborn for her mother but when the child was sick, my in-law brought her to me, saying that she said he wanted to see her father (Sunday), who was then in Osogbo, where he was learning to make aluminium doors and windows.
Sunday came to Iree for the weekend and we took the child to the hospital and thereafter, she was okay. But when Jumoke heard that her child was sick, she said she wanted to come and take her to Lagos and I said there was no need for that. Not quite long afterwards, she came to Iree and started staying here.
However, in January, this year, she told me that she was going back to Lagos and I asked about her decision to return to Lagos.
This time, she took her two children to Lagos but I was not comfortable with it and I gave her husband money to go and bring back the first child so that she could continue her education in Iree. I didnât want anything to disrupt her education because it might be difficult to find a school for her in Lagos.
She later brought the child back to Iree. About a week after, she went back to Lagos and the next thing we heard in the news is that she has become a model. We did not really take the news seriously at first.
Her husband called and told me that he wanted to travel to Lagos because some people took the picture of Jumoke and they were looking for her and eventually found her at the bakery where she usually bought bread in large quantities.
He said they asked him to come to Lagos over the matter. I gave him the transport fare and he left for Lagos. When he got to Lagos, Sunday called me and said that it was good news and we were all happy.
What is your advice for Olajumoke now?
This is a thing of joy for me and Jumokeâs parents. For us in the Orisagunna family, we see it as a big success.
Jumoke and her husband, my son, should continue to pray and thank God and realise that it is God who has brought them this far in life.
Recall Last week, Charly Boy wrote an open letter to Julius Agwu accusing him of turning his Abuja comedy show ‘Life As I See It’ into a church crusade ground.
The Area Fada said Julius’ show bored him to tears because the comedian spent more time preaching than making people laugh.
Julius Agwu has responded to Charly Boy’s article with this hilarious meme.
Fans are already coming for Ice Prince, accusing the Choc City rapper of bleaching, but his girlfriend Miama Nkewa has refused to stand back and watch him take all the heat.
It all started yesterday when the rapper shared a new photo of himself and fans hopped on the post to point out how his knuckles are darker.
While many targeted only Iceprince and asked why he would want to alter his complexion, a fan âSom Somâ expressed disgust at the thought of the âFeelingsâ rapper touching his girlfriend Maima with those hands. Maima, upset by the rude words decided to clap back at Som Som.
See the exchange:
Sunday Orisagunaâs life has always been tough and challenging. He came to Lagos in 2009 to wash cars, for four years, after his father died.
He again came back to Lagos to ride âokadaâ for another three years. Sunday and Olajumoke have two daughters, Grace (5) and Precious (16 months).
Jumoke met her husband, Sunday, Orisaguna, an aluminum doors and windows installer while she was training as a âhair dresserâ in Ire. He visited often and the trainees liked him because heâs funny.
Eventually, he told Jumoke that he fancied her, and would like to make her his wife. She told him she would think about it, and it took her 6 months to agree.
How do you feel today?
I am very happy. I never expected it. I didnât know things will turn around for us this soon. I wasnât expecting it. I cannot express how I feel today.
I didnât know we can get to where we are today. From the time I was born till now. It is overwhelming. I didnât ever envisage such a great thing. I didnât know we can ever get here.
What actually happened, why did your wife come over to Lagos and you didnât come with her?
I live in Ire, Osun state. We were living together there before she came over to Lagos. Ire Poly went on strike early in the year.
Because of that, things were a bit slow. There were no sales. I am an artisan. I make aluminum doors and windows. She is a hairdresser.
Students patronized her a lot, but once there is strike, sales will be on a low scale. She decided to come over to Lagos and find something doing. She didnât have it in mind to do a particular business.
She just said when she comes over, she will get any profitable venture she can engage in. it was when she got to Lagos she called to tell me that she was selling bread. She left our first child, Grace at home.
She said the small one will not stay because she is a baby. We communicated very well. There is no problem. We agreed she should come over.
How have you been coping without her and taking care of your daughter?
My daughter is with my mom. She is the one taking care of the girl. It has not been too difficult to cope as such because of that.
Now that she is in Lagos, are you also coming over?
Yes, that is what we are praying for. We need to relocate. We need accommodation and every other thing. Lagos is not an easy place.
We didnât know we would get a house. We donât know how far it is from the house and her work place. You have to consider the traffic and everything. Unless one has a personal car we can use to drive her to work so that she wouldnât be late for work.
I will go back home to bring my other daughter so that we can all come over to Lagos.
Do you like the work your wife is doing?
Yes, I like it. I am really excited about it.
Do you feel threatened that she is now famous and has gone ahead of you?
I am not afraid because when we had nothing, she was always there. If I said I needed this, she would give me. I am not afraid.
If she is rich today, we both own it. I trust her for that. She has been a very good wife. I believe she will continue to be good.
How long have you been married?
We have been married for six years.
How did your path and hers cross?
She came to greet her grandma in my area some years back. She came from Lagos. She went to her motherâs younger sister, who introduced her to hairdressing.
I used to go to where she was learning hairdressing to toast her but she insisted that she came to learn hairdressing and not to befriend a man.
I used to go there often and after six months, she said yes, that was how it all started.
Mother of one, BeyoncĂ©âs âFormation World Tourâ kicks off in April â but could that be the same month when her long-awaited new album drops also?
According to HitsDailyDouble, the answer is âyes.â
via HDD:
Beyoncé is close to making a new worldwide, multi-album deal with Sony Music, and the final release under the current deal is now set for April.
The site also notes that the Beyoncé / Jay Z joint album is still happening this year too.
Thereâs really no point in trying to guess a BeyoncĂ© album release date. For all we know, it could drop anytime.

A couple of hours ago SDK exclusively reported that the 8-year marriage of ace comedian and entertainer AY Makun to his interior decorator wife, Mabel Makun was over.
OAP Daddy Freeze has also waded into the drama.
I sincerely hope and pray that what I am hearing is false. You guys are my favorite couple. AY is my brother and Mabel is my sister. I remember being angry with Mabel for eating my bush meat once and she made it up by cooking the most delicious owo soup with starch for me and as for AY he is one of my best friends in the industry.
He is a brother in every way. He is kind hearted, loving, caring, intelligent and well mannered. You guys are not good together, you are GREAT together in fact FABULOUS TOGETHER and you both know it. THE DEVIL KNOW THIS FACT AND WOULD WORK HARD TO BRING DISHARMONY. Please donât give him the chance. Mabel the keys to your home are in your hand and I am sure of your love for this genius. I also know AY loves you. Gisting less than 3 weeks ago he told me he loves you 120% and I teased him endlessly over this, calling him Mr Loverman in Shabbas voice. I love you guys and know we will smile at the end of this alleged storm. â€#AyMabelForLife
AY and his wife got married in 2008 and they have a daughter together.
