Open Letter To D'banj From A Fan (a Must Read For D'banj And Don Jazzy Fans) by imsuboi(m): 8:21am On Jun 19, 2013
Dear Oyebanjo, Dapo Daniel AKA D’Banj,I am seated
at a local restaurant here at the university town of
Nsukka, in Enugu State, Nigeria, drinking a bottle of
Fayrouz and listening to the sound of the generator,
which is the only source of electricity around here.I
have watched your latest music video. I went through
the rigour last night. It is the video of the song
entitled “Don’t Tell Me Nonsense” and it was awfully
disgusting, the song, I mean. Kaffy and the rest of the
dancers didn’t disappoint in the video.
This is bad, I know, using awful and disgusting, in same
sentence. But that is what I feel about what I saw.
Brother, D’Banj, a lot has changed since you left your
brother and hustle partner, Ajereh, Michael Collins
AKA Don Jazzy. Truth. Your songs have been nothing
but trash. I wonder if anyone has said anything nice to
you since you started making songs outside Don Jazzy.
If they have, it must have been for that singular hit
song entitled ‘Oliver Twist.’ Kai! That song swept
through Nigeria and the rest of the world. You would
not believe that the ordinary child on the streets of
Nsukka knows the lyrics of that song and the dance
steps too.
In Nigeria, there are plenty factors that weigh us
down. One is our inability to manage our weaknesses. I
see you have been buying yourself expensive
jewelleries. The other day, I saw on a blog that you
wear a wristwatch worth my entire family and maybe
inheritance. I commend your taste. You are a lucky and
hardworking man. You deserve it, besides; ‘Oliver
Twist’ made marks. It took the Nigerian music to a
height that had never been seen in recent times. Its
toping charts, downloads, Youtube views and itunes
purchases are amongst the few things I can mention.
Dear, D’Banj, Don Jazzy may not be an ideal partner, I
bet you, no one is an ideal partner! Perfect couples
quarrel and make up. It is the joy of having such union.
I believe misunderstanding is part of us, as humans. I
will run to the zoo the day I see a union that agrees
on almost everything.Back to your music, I feel Don
Jazzy was made to make good music with you. He may
not only be your producer, but whatever input, from
advice, to production, will go a long way. Besides, he
has been miserable too, without you. I have seen his
eyes in music videos. There is one he did with Tiwa
Savage. Ah, Tiwa. She looked dazzling, while Don
Jazzy looked wanting and dispirited. Tiwa may have a
perfect voice but Don Jazzy has not been able to
achieve what he did with you. The other boys, K-
Switch, Wande Coal and the goody bag crooner,
D’Prince are unfortunate learners.
They must be stark illiterates to have taken sides
when you guys parted. I understand their ignorance.
But my concern here is, if you wish to stay relevant in
the sight of Nigerians, making good music, and not
caressing a stripper on stage on your birthday, then
you have to make amends with Don Jazzy and
understand that people argue because they are
beneficial to themselves. Only dummies agree on
everything.
I think tribalism had a lot to play in your split. It is a
sad reality, if I am right. Tribalism will eventually
destroy Nigeria. Our young people think they belong
to a superior tribe and so make silly comments which
sometimes bring about misconception and then crisis. I
once had a boss, who is Igbo, who felt my tribe’s men
were lazy, just because she came to my state and saw
a job and was privileged to be a high ranking staff. I
have had people who think those from the north
should be gatekeepers and cobblers. Someone called
me a militant once in Abuja, at the Sheraton, when he
discovered I was from the Niger-Delta. I forgave his
gross stupidity. I think we should drink a cup of water
when ignorant people say rubbish about our
personalities or flaws and relate it to tribe.
You are a great young man, D’Banj. Few people have
attained the height you have. I am encouraged to
pursue what I am currently pursuing because I know I
will triumph. Your likes and that of 2Face Idibia,
despite your weaknesses are heroes. And you must
recall that Kanye West met you because he had heard
good stuff from you. When nothing good manifests, he
may be forced to give you a new job description at
Good Music, which may be mopping of the floor of the
studio. This evil will not befall you. If you believe it,
type amen.
D’Banj, pride is the worst enemy of any man who
wishes to last longer anywhere. A drop of arrogance
may work, but pride is detrimental. You were called
the ‘entertainer’ because you offered entertainment.
Today, Inyanya, Kcee, Flavour, Wizkid and Davido are
doing better. Imagine Burna-Boy, chai, that boy has
some senses oh. His music, even when he is talking
nonsense makes you want to sit and listen or dance to
it, as the case may be. The only person that is yet to
outshine you is my dearest sister, Tontolet Dike. That
girl needs Jesus.

I have to go back to my drink. I paid for it and it is
almost missing me. I enjoy your struggle or hustle, as
you may choose to call it. I wish to hear something
profound from you. While awaiting that miracle that
only you can perform, I wish you the very best of life.

Nice write-up and seriously,I admire your writing techniques.Though it was a bit lenghty but it was worth reading.Nothing more to say than to wish that oneday,these talented guys would come together and make good songs for the listening pleasure of their fans.An adage says 20 children children cant be friends for 20 years.This adage has come to fulfilment in this case.At some point,one has to move ahead.I think Dbanj and Don Jazzy still needs each other.It remain to be seen if they will ever come together again.Above all,I wish them luck.

I wonder why people are mumu and people keeps encouraging them to be mumu forever?
Dear Mr writer, haven't you heard that DonJazzy produced most of Dbanj songs in his recently released album?
Do you want Dbanj to serve forever?
His second album will be more better and Don Jazzy's Children will grow bigger too.
Mind you that Iyanya, Davido, Wizi and Burma can't be compared with Dbanj in terms of entertainer.. Get a life...
