Psquare: Instead Of Going Solo, Go Into Retirement. by INDUSTRIALFAN(m): 6:39am On Sep 27, 2017
The reality of the Psquare split has finally dawned on us as Peter has tendered a legal notice through his lawyer Festus Keyamo, asking for a dissolution of the group; claiming a threat to his wife and children’s lives.

Following Peter’s announcement, a lot of questions have began to spring up: can they make it on their own? Can they give us the same Psquare fire and energy as solo artistes?

The answers to these questions are the reason why many fear the idea of a Psquare breakup.

The group can be likened to a machine – every component is required to guarantee the best result. No one of the brothers is less important.

Peter has been the image of the Psquare brand – Peter makes the group interesting to watch. His energy is what rubs off on the entire group.



Over a decade have passed and the group still remains very appealing to the younger generation; all credits to Peter for repeatedly coming through with those exotic dance moves and always keeping the body in shape for the ladies.


According to Peter, he’s also the fisherman – the one who goes out to search for opportunities and new ways to advance the Psquare group.

‘Most of Psquare ideas came from me, like [the] materials we needed to put out for people to see, video, stage performances and all’ – Says Peter during a 2016 interview with NET.

Have you tried to watch a Psquare music video that doesn’t feature Peter? There is no true visual beauty without the presence of Peter.

Paul on the other hand is the vocal powerhouse of the group. The famous Psquare voice we all know and celebrate is the voice of Paul.

Paul does all the dirty jobs in the studio and ensures that fans are continually blessed with great records. Without Paul, there would be no Psquare.



Even though they were both singers and dancers at inception, the brothers have gone on to focus and improve on their respective strengths (Peter – dancing and Paul – singing) thereby making it easy for them to complement each others weaknesses. The quality of Psquare is enjoyed only when Peter and Paul joins forces.

A solo career is going to mean only one thing; mediocrity.

A NET Instagram follower with the username @gudehobieke reacted to the news of the Psquare split saying; ‘Being together and working together is their strength they should better wise up, work in harmony’.

They cannot deliver on the Psquare level as solo act. They (Psquare) are what sets them apart from the crowd. Peter cannot find a songwriter that composes like Paul and Paul cannot find a dancer that looks just like him, serve us with endless energy and dominate the screen like Peter. An attempt to launch solo careers will breed nothing but sub-par contents (musically and visually).

So instead of going solo and denting the standard that they have maintained for over a decade and a half, they should kindly go into retirement. We already have enough Psquare songs to last us for all eternity. That way, all we have of them are happy memories, not biting criticism that is sure to follow this final split of theirs.

This is a very silly advice. Did you know they will still be booked for shows as solo artistes? they'll still bag endorsement deals?, make money on iTunes?, sell album and singles? How will they make this kind of money if they decide to retire?

Most music artistes do not retire, at least not already established ones. They have fans that will forever be loyal to them irrespective of any 'nonsense' they record and call music. Look at the likes of Olamide, wizkid.

Olamide and wizkid were not group sensations. They where solo artists under different Labels. Psquare on d other hand have always been a duo. We have always known them as Peter and Paul and together, they made contents that appealed to people. Nobody is saying they won't do well as solo artists but what this is about is going BELOW what they are known for. There are other ways they can bag awards and make money. The public display of hate for themselves now is disheartening. They could have dissolved the group in a more respectable manner not threatening to kill each other after decades of bathing each other in honey.

Robbie Williams, Beyonce, Michael Jackson, 2face idibia are example of many artistes who went solo after being part of successful groups.

There's nothing as silly as waking up this early to argue about people that do not know about your existence

and not all members of the successful groups that split were successful. Others went down d drain. I would hat to see one of the okoye brothers become irrelevant because of some unknown reason that is not as deep as their relationship.

True, let's just agree that your 'retirement plan' isn't better than going solo.
