Over so soon? Adara (Eva -and all of us, shall be fine).)

Hi people! It's me again... Hope you had an amazing day yesterday and your morning is going great so far. I tried to amid deadlines and a whole lot of other things. But like I always say, Oluwa is involved *in Kswich's voice*.
Shortly after my last post on how excited I was that Eva is a Trybe girl , It hit me that they had swiftly terminated her contract in less than six months. It left me speechless, as per Schweppes??

And as far as their press statement reason is concerned, I just think they were not satisfied with the fact that she probably wasn't having as many studio sessions as they would have liked, not having served crowd movers as as result. (As a law student, your first acquired skill is to sift through flowery language and get out the damn point yo! :p)

She already did everything. Champagne baths and everything else I thought of doing...Except leave a record label that apparently suited her in every sense of the word and joining one of the oldest yet most fleeting Nigerian and African labels out there the hallowed Trybe Records.

I was first going to have a nice rant about the whole thing. But thanks to the brother, I had a good convo about it, cleared my head and thought about the following

• The transience of life, opportunity.
• How quick it is to agree to something which seems nice.
• The Constancy of change.
• The fact that in every craft, especially in music, good does not always mean the best for YOUR growth- as an artiste. (To other readers, adaptation to your job, profession, course, friendships, relationships, etc will not be a bad idea.)
• All that glitters...

1. Opportunity comes but once and time does not wait. Do what you can when the time presents itself. We only wait to bury someone and even then, time does not stand still for those who will.
2. For most of us, the bigger piece of meat is always the most desirable until we bite into a bone. Be watchful. It isn't just when going into a business that we must do this but in relationships, friendships, jobs even in answering questions. Watch, listen to those who have been there first. Hear not only what is said but incline your ear to what is not said for in unspoken words lie the secrets of life.
3. The only thing that is constant in life is change. The fact that certain people may not be by our side may just mean that they were not meant to continue with us on our journey. Regret Nothing.
4. The fact that certain people, groups or firms may seem good for our growth in whatever it is that we do (music as an example) does not mean that they are the right people for the craft that we have. We must find ourselves and make sure no one can make us change more than is healthy for what we do.
5. IS NOT GOLD.

We all learn from our mistakes and I have no doubt at all that Eva Elohor Alordiah the amazingly talented young woman we have all come to love and respect will be absolutely fine after this. Who knows she may even be Sasha's muse and will add to the Femcee/eclectic designer's Adara Chorus.
After all, we can (all) do it (better ) with one more try.


Thank you 'Dre'.

Yours,
