While we were all worried and praying
against rumours of infighting and
break up in the P Square camp, some
other people were laughing at he
gullibility of Nigerians.
Speaking in this chat with Icon Weekly
magazine, P-Square’s Publicist, Bayo
Adetu opens up on what really
transpired..
Read excerpts from the interview
below…
Greetings, Bayo, we heard that the
Okoye brotherS have finally reconciled,
can you give us an insight on what
really happened?
After a long laugh… My brother, I’m
telling you this as a friend, there was
no fight at all. The whole thing started
after Jude tweeted some days back and
bloggers feasted on it and gave it
several interpretations which never
existed, and that was how we got here.
Are you saying there wasn’t a fight at
all, how then did Peter and Paul keep
releasing comments through their
Facebook accounts?
My guy, I can authoritatively tell you
that neither of the P-Square brothers,
nor even Jude operate their Facebook
accounts anymore. Whatever Facebook
posted was from an impersonator,
pretending to be anyone of them. P-
Sqaure is active on twitter, not on
facebook, so you see, the whole thing
was founded on lies.
If what you are saying is true, why did
they all tweet a reconciliatory tweet
this morning indicating that they have
mended fences?
There’s one thing you should know, P-
Square are not politicians, neither are
they businessmen to be worried about
what one useless blogger or the other
has to say about them.
In this game, bad publicity is good
publicity. When we read those funny
posts, we decided to play along with
the general public and what they were
meant to believe.
Yesterday, Thursday, April 24, 2014
was Jude Okoye’s birthday and he also
used the opportunity to propose to his
girlfriend while we laughed at the
stupidity of some Nigerian bloggers.
We later decided to further play into
their hands by reaching a consensus to
tweet what they have termed the
‘reconciliation tweet’.
However as a journalist, I am pained
that trained journalists allow
themselves to be remoted by Linda
Ikeji, a mere blogger without any
professional training to stall them from
investigating serious news material
like this. These days, immediately
Linda posts anything on her blog,
journalists just go there and copy and
paste the story without any checks and
balances, it is outrightly wrong, I’m
really upset about this.
She called me after posting the story
and I just decided to ignore her calls,
because I didn’t think we had anything
more to say when the milk has been
spilt.
I have taken my time to explain to you
this way because, you are a friend and
did not join the bandwagon.
As for those bloggers out there, I
allowed them to write whatever they
like; after all, they are consuming their
Internet data, not mine.
