Letter to PSquare on Breakup Using Their Song Titles

Posted: 24 Apr 2014 12:40 PM PDT

Dear PSquare, I want to ask *WHY E BE SAY* una. wan split after all these years? Coz. u guys seem to have forgotten that there is *NO ONE LIKE YOU* in Africa, and u also forgot that God use *IFUNANYA* to make it to be a *POSSIBILITY* for u guys to be *UNLIMITED* today.

I feel so bad over your latest *STORY* coz *I LOVE YOU* and i urge u to deal with your present situation *PERSONALLY* and do not let your *BEAUTIFUL ONYINYE's* to make you split. Don't forget that they are only there to *CHOP YOUR MONEY*. I know that *E NO EASY* but u guys should try not to get involve in any *BIZZY BODY* because it will only lead to more *DANGER* in your career, and your fans will no longer be able to dance *ALINGO* again.

Take a look at how BRACKET is living their life *YORI YORI*. So u may call on LKT to come *FOLLOW FOLLOW* settle the problems u guys are having, coz e get as e dey *DO ME* anytime i hear that u guys want to *BREAK IT*.

I also heard that you brought *OGA POLICE* in to the matter.i want u guyz to be *MORE THAN A FRIEND*. to avoid any *TEMPTATION* which will lead to *GAME OVER*. try to use the formula of *IFUNANYA* we are hoping to hear your *TESTIMONY* soon!

Your in Christ Hon,GCE,PHCN,OND,Msc Ybanks!!

Dear Myne, I am a victim of sexual abuse, the thing is I can't seem to get over it even if I have moved on with my life. The thought that someone took advantage of me torments me. Each time I think of it I feel like doing something BAD to that guy. I feel like looking for him an hurting him. I feel real bad, don't know what to do, please I need your advice.

Free Date Idea This Weekend - Book Reading With Author Ayo Sogunro

You may recognise Ayo Sogunro's name from the rebuttal to the article by Sani Abacha's son trying to justify his late father's award at the Nigeria Centenary. Then Ayo also protested for the release of @ciaxon, the guy who tweeted pictures of the attempted Boko Haram jail break at SS Headquarters, Aso Rock.

Yes, Ayo is an activist like that, and his books are part of his activism. You can hear him read from his first, The Wonderful Life of Senator Boniface—and other Sorry Tales, this Saturday at Terra Kulture in Lagos.

About the book;

"The Wonderful Life of Senator Boniface—and other Sorry Tales" is a collection of twelve, short stories of a contemporary nature which explore several facets of human nature in general and Nigerian modern life in particular. The stories are written on two levels: (i) a literal and direct story directed at entertaining the everyday reader; and (ii) a symbolic philosophy intended to stimulate intellectual thought.

Though diverse in plot, the stories are collectively woven around a centralised theme featuring twin ideas of death as a final resolution of life's problems and human behaviour under unexpected changes in circumstances.

Each story is also preceded by an original poem which attempts to sum up the theme in the subsequent story. The stories and the verses are complementary and are meant to be taken together.

Sorry Tales was given a Honourable Mention at the 2013 London Book Festival, and has been listed as one of the top 15 Nigerian Books of 2013 by the Channels TV Book Club
