The venue was the conference room of the Minister for Labour at the Federal secretariat Abuja where more than forty musicians, under the banner of Performing Musicians Association of Nigeria(PMAN) held its 2015 reconciliation marathon meeting from 10:56am - 3:58pm that Orits Wiliki told SM that peace has at last returned to PMAN.
What manner of PEACE will the teaming followers of music in Nigeria enjoy; with the walking out of some notable musical national icons such as Zakky Adze, Sunny Ineji, Pretty and later Brown-Bread at exactly 3:38pm and 3;50pm respectively
To King Waleman of the "Zomuje Garin Kano" fame is in tune with Orits Wiliki and also believes that Peace truly has returned to PMAN.
Peace at PMAN will always be good news. Many attempts have been made with little tangible result. Will this effort make the difference? Most of us are really hoping for PMAN to come back as one - there is so much to gain in unity and much to lose in disunity. Some of us are also willing to give a helping hand - if need be - to ensure that peace returns to our dear music industry; an industry that has grown in leaps and bounds but whose splintered image has not engendered corporate benefits.
ReplyDeleteThe trouble has always been people going to the negotiation table with premeditated positions and interests that they are unwilling to shift from; members go to negotiate with an intent to win all arguments. The lack of reasonable compromise has kept PMAN divided and with it, the multiple benefits it could have attracted for its members and Nigeria as a whole.
Will this effort be the real final solution?
