Nigerians Applaud Banky W for Fighting for Peace Within P-Square

Nigerians Applaud Banky W for Fighting for Peace Within P-Square

Nigerians are applauding Banky W for taking time to speak to the Okoye brothers who have sworn they will keep dragging their family name in the mud.

Yesterday, the EME boss who has just returned to Nigerian after undergoing surgery in the United States took to his Instagram to bother himself with the troubles with the P-Square twins.

The EME boss revealed how much he missed Nigerian food and the shocker he got when he walked into his favourite restaurant in Lagos.

“I asked for beans and plantain… the waiter said I could have one or the other, but not the two at the same time. I was confused,” he said, adding, “I decided to go for Jollof rice and chicken. Same story. Pounded yam and Egusi??? No, sorry, it’s either pounded yam OR Egusi.. not both together.”

He continued, adding, “I was actually at a loss for words. This didn’t make sense to me, at all. The waiter then tried to explain.. using words like “change”, “growth” and “trying a new direction”. But I didn’t and still don’t understand. Why change what was already perfect? In the past few days I’d try plantain one day, and then beans another. Etc. And they did taste good. But they were perfect together. Absolutely perfect. The best of the best of African cuisine.”

Banky W tagged the Okoye brothers–Peter, Paul and their manager brother, Jude–to the post to make his point, and his analogy moved many Nigerians because folks are applauding him for fighting for peace among brothers who have sworn they want none.

Peter Okoye now uses the stage name Mr P, and is churning out music, while his brother Paul now goes by King Rudy. Though their new songs are catchy, many fans have noted that something is missing in each video; there is almost general dissatisfaction as viewers keep waiting for the other twin to make an appearance in their respective videos.

And that is Banky W’s point: they may be making catchy tunes individually but to really win back lost fans, they must come together.

See his note:

Which do you prefer? I just got back to Nigeria recently, after the better part of 4 months away. Naturally, one of the things I missed the most while being away was the food. So I tried going to one of my favourite African restaurants to order some. Everything seemed normal until I tried to place an order. I asked for beans and plantain… the waiter said I could have one or the other, but not the two at the same time. I was confused. I decided to go for Jollof rice and chicken. Same story. Pounded yam and Egusi??? No, sorry, it’s either pounded yam OR Egusi.. not both together. I was actually at a loss for words. This didn’t make sense to me, at all. The waiter then tried to explain.. using words like “change”, “growth” and “trying a new direction”. But I didn’t and still don’t understand. Why change what was already perfect? He explained that any option I chose would still taste good. So, because hunger was killing me, I tried it. In the past few days I’d try plantain one day, and then beans another. Etc. And they did taste good. But they were perfect together. Absolutely perfect. The best of the best of African cuisine. It’s unfortunate that sometimes, with growth, change and whatever-other-word U wanna use… we end up losing sight of where and how we started, and altering what was a perfectly working combination. It makes me sad. But such is life I guess. For now, I will have to make do with either beans OR plantain, and either Jollof OR chicken, at different times. It isn’t quite the same though, so here’s hoping one day someone will realize that U should never have to choose between two good things, when both, together, make a perfect combination. I miss beans & dodo at my favourite restaurant. Sigh. In other news, happy birthday @peterpsquare & @rudeboypsquare. Shoutout to the chef @judeengees. I love you all. 😊🤗 #thebankstatements #foodforthought #yalldothedishes
