Xpensive toy he bought was a new Gulf stream (private jet) worth 35million dollars"

Am not beefn or hating these guys, bt I jst feel I shuld clear d air out cos some miopic fanatics

I honestly didn't want to comment until I read the above. These are all lies. Their contract with glo is not 240mil and they didn't sell any 10 million copies. Please stop pushing lies around. Even Akon himself has not sold up to 2million copies in any album worldwide not to talk of 2 unknown Nigerian boys. They were not even in the list of first 10 most popular African artists published by CNN. There are very few people in the world that sell above 5million copies. Its amazing how Africans lie and deceive. This is the reason Africa is backward. False life and fake lives. You don't even see mega rock stars displaying their wealth. Bill gates and Warren buffet live simple lives while these poor Africans go around claiming they have money. Result of poverty mentality and illiteracy. When you are truly rich, you don't flaunt it, you become humble.

And just to add that an artist makes 5 naira per CD sold in Nigeria, not 100 naira. And PSquare songs are not in stores in Europe or America. They are mostly sold by Nigerians abroad. Same with most Nigerian artists. Only Fela, Asa, Nneka and some few others have their music in regular stores.

Chinom: I'm not here to dispute whether they bought the jet or not. But i can tell you now that if they bought that jet, it's not going to be for personal use only. No Igbo boy will waste money just like that. Besides they have an older brother who oversees the business angle. If they put that jet on lease or charter,Lagos to Enugu, Lagos - Owerri, Lagos-Asaba and Lagos - Abuja, they will never lack customers. Knowing my Igbo people, they will have it fully booked all year round especially if they make the fees affordable.
I would charter it for like N100 or N150k to Enugu. From the pic,it's a small jet.

mbhs139: This guys should learn from daniel amokachi.

He used to have a private jet too when things were going good for him, but today nko ....?

2sexy:
That's the mistakes many people fail to realise. When the money is there, they spend lavishly without planning for the future.

They fail to note that their time will surely end.

Take a look at 2face, the moment he reached stardom, na furky furky and impreg-nation. I sorry for that guy because history never fails to repeat itself. I am also sorry for his wife anny because decade of years down the road, those children of 2face littered here and there will surely create wahala, and if money finish that time nko, 2face may end up being frustrated.

Michael Jackson, W. Houston, etc never knew they will end that way, did they?

I also learnt from my late mother not to ever throw your future away when the going is good. When Teslim Balogun stadium was being built by Transproject, a Bulgarian company, my mother was the major supplier of all the building materials back then and as a result money was floating. She was hardly around. They started the foundation of that stadium but she didn't invest and many years down the road, we faced the consequences.

People should control money and not the other way round.

dripstoil:

The fact that your mum got it wrong doesn't mean everyone will get theirs wrong.

P-Square's investments is far more than what you can imagine. If you understand
The Anambrarians, you'll know that if they buy one jet, they actually have money for ten.

I was in In Ghana when the news broke out and Ghanaians where practically jubilating. Back here is Niraland, everyone seems to be sad as if their money was stolen.

P-Square is by far the busiest African musician and one of the busiest in the world, they travel almost every day.

If I tell you that this guys make more money than TUFACE, DBANJ, and Bank W put together wouldn't you argue it? But that's the fact!

They are the biggest musician out of Africa death or alive, they deserve it!!!

pro01: But for real, P Square are my boys in whom I'm well pleased, and this has nothing to do with us being from the same state. They've worked hard and made a success of their career so far. That is highly commendable. Unfortunately, however, they act too immature and silly with an alarming regularity. Some of these tweets and cheap lies in the name of 'hype' are downright i.d.i.o.t.i c. The other time, they claimed their nice duplex (some oafs call it 'mansion') in Omole Estate was worth N300m (what a laugh). Later they claimed to have bought a property in Banana Island. They also claimed to have bought a Lamborghini. Now they're putting up a senseless tweet proclaiming "baba God don settle us, we're jetting privately". How childish and obtuse can they possibly get?

They do not own a private jet, and they CANNOT afford one - in case they were having such daydreams. Simple. You'd have to be a multi-billionaire businessman or politician (e.g the likes of Tinubu and Andy Uba) to afford even an average private jet in Nigeria simply because the overall costs of owning and maintaining a jet are killing. Without meaning to sound derogatory, I have to say that in the context of private jet ownership, P Square are rats. Their entire net worth cannot pay for the maintenance of Sayyu Dantata's Gulfstream G550 Business Jet in one calender year. Sorry to say.

Do you know how much even a modest 8 seater Lear jet costs?
Do you know how much it costs to acquire and maintain a hangar at the airport(s) for a private jet?
Do you know how much it takes to hire experienced pilots and crew for a private jet?
Do you know how much it costs to pay flight engineers and maintenance staff?
Do you know the astronomical costs of aviation fuel?
Do you know how much private jet owners pay in insurance, administrative and regulatory fees?
SMH

Seriously, I appreciate the fact that a forum like this is an all-comers affair where every ignorant loafer is allowed to contribute, but I can't help but feel alarmed by the embarrassing level of cluelessness many folks display here.

CHESSBOARD:

Stop being miopic, their Glo contract alone was 250 million Naira. their remix with Akon has sold over 10 million copies worldwide, xly that by just 100 Naira per copy thats 1 billion Naira, The only Nigerian Hiphop artists to pull over 10000 ppl in UK, My brother if u r Made you are made.

alekleke: D'BANJ IS AFRICAN KING. D'BANJ v. P SQUARE debate should be discussed with supporting evidence and the sources of the information stated.Unfortunately,all the above statistic about record sales and YOu tube views have no source at all or were misquoted.They are all lies. Check out the following facts from most reliable facts and sources:

1. D´Banj owes the record of Most Selling Artist in Africa 2006,2007 and 2008. SOURCE:Google Search the following topic "JJC(ABDUL BELLO)-WIKIPEDIA ON D'BANJ".The fact is from Wikipedia- World's Most Reliable source.

2.D'banj' Oliver Twist is the most viewed on You tube.The data above is a wrong way of calculating the most viewed.The data only takes one video into consideration.P Square had two of same videos on "Chop My Money",D'banj on the other hand has many videos/audios and dancing competition where Oliver Twist was not only played as a music but also with people creating different dance styles as a dance competition.

SUMMARY TOTAL OF YOU TUBE VIEW:

D'BAnj has combined 25 Million official video/audio/dancing competition/Lyrics on OLIVER TWIST.Pls make sure you have your calculator with you.You will get it correct if you know how to navigate through but which ever way or method you use,it will be greater than P Square Highest title track of CHOP MY MONEY
P Square Chop My Money roughly is 15 Million total.Although his beautiful Oyinye and DO me also had enough view to place 2nd and 4th respectively but were not enough to oust D'banj Overall view together with interviews,etc
Both are great but D'Banj is likely to retain the most selling artist in Africa for Oliver Twist for 2011,2012 if not 2013 in addition.

3. D'banj is the 1st Nigerian to hit the UK's top ten chart and possibly the 1st African to do so.P Square is no where near this mark.
4.D'banj has the most international appearance earning dollars/Pounce especially in UK.No African artist was ever engaged as D'banj is.Pls no comparism as at now.Pls confirm these sources.He is therefore likely to be the Richest in Africa.
D'BANJ IS AFRICA'S KING.

ebamma: una think say private jet na beans,a light jet will cost u within 3mili to 8mili dollars ,and 3 mili dollars is about 450 million naira,even na only their songs them dey sell 4 alaba,dat kin money no dey dia bank account.

brown3: if omokachi could aford a private jet when he was earning below 10k pounds a week, why wount psquare that re earning #15m and above in a week aford it.
