Both twins grew up in Catholic teachings in Jos, Plateau State, Nigeria. They attended St. Mulumba secondary school, a local Catholic school.

St. Mulumba Secondary School was the duo’s preferred choice because the school had a music and drama club.

They both took advantage of the music and drama club to perfect their singing and dancing skills, mimicking songs by MC Hammer, Bobby Brown, and Michael Jackson.

Peter and Paul later formed a 5-person acapella group called “MMMPP” (M Clef, Michael, Melvin, Peter, and Paul). MMMPP dropped M Clef, then a quartet, “MMPP”, was later formed, and together they formed the group called “Smooth Criminals” in 1997.

Their unique singing pattern and energetic dance style made them household names in the city of Jos, where they performed at school functions and other occasions.

PSquare Bio – Relationship Life of Peter Okoye:

For starters, Peter Okoye’s love story is centred around one lady. No other person than Lola.

The relationship between Peter and Lola started many years ago, even before Peter became a celebrity.

Indeed, It takes extra courage for a man to walk up to a lady like Lola. Peter proved himself a man, following a brief story by Lola herself. This is Lola’s account of how they met.

In her words; …“My agency handles some British-American Tobacco brands, and P’Square was doing a show for us at one of our events in Enugu.

Though I had briefly met Peter a couple of times before then, at the show, there was some chemistry. He asked for my number, and I refused to give it to him.

I told him, ‘if you really want to know me, you have to find my number’. So he took it as a task and found my number, and the rest is history.”

Lola is seven years older than Peter Okoye, though both lovers are never disturbed by their age difference. As Lola puts it; “Peter is an old soul, and he often tells me, he sees a 23-year-old lady in me. Indeed, age is just a number”.

The proposal:

Peter, on a Tuesday, shocked many of his fans when he finally proposed to Lola Omotayo, his longtime girlfriend, with a diamond ring and a brand new white Range Rover Vogue he bought for 15 million naira.

Lola, who said ‘Yes’ to the proposal, reportedly was close to tears when the musician slipped the diamond engagement ring onto her finger and handed the car keys to her.

Speaking on why he decided to propose to Lola, Peter said: “it is something I had always wanted to do, and I knew I would definitely do this to Lola one day, but I needed to wait for the right time. Honestly, she deserves even more from me.” he said.

Their traditional wedding was probably the party of the year. Peter Okoye’s wedding was attended by the most prestigious guests in the country.

At the time of writing this Bio, Mr. and Mrs. Peter Okoye are blessed with two kids, Cameron and Aliona Okoye, pictured below.

Peter, in a Punch interview, said: “For us, every day is Valentine’s Day because we never fail to express our love for each other every day.”

PSquare Relationship Life of Paul Okoye:

It was a friend-became-lover story for Paul and Anita, who appears to be his first love. Anita was a freshman while Paul was in his final year when they met at the University of Abuja, Nigeria.

Paul started crushing on Anita, and a little later, they became friends. It was all casual at first. Anita was just 16 years old at the time, so Paul stayed responsible and formal until Anita hit adulthood.

As Anita clocked 18 years old, they both officially started dating. From all available information, Anita is Paul’s first love.

The ride wasn’t so smooth for Paul at the early stage. His first visit to Anita was not fun. Anita didn’t allow him into the house.

The lover-boy didn’t give up but had to up his game. He bought her the first Valentine’s Day gift- a movie that starred Genevieve Nnaji, because Anita was a big fan of Genevieve.

THE ENGAGEMENT:

They started loving each other, and on this blissful day, Paul took Anita to a jewellery store and asked her to pick any diamond ring of her choice; there were ten rings before her.

She made her choice, and right there, Paul dropped to one knee and popped the question, ‘will you marry me? Wow! What a sudden and spontaneous romantic gesture.

Anita was completely floored; all she could do was cry, and her answer is shown in the photo below.

Paul Okoye and Anita Okoye had their traditional wedding ceremony in 2014 and have legalized their union at the Ikoyi Registry.

In an interview with Naija.com, Anita Okoye testified, “My marriage has been very interesting”.

Having been blessed with their first son, Andre, and a set of twins, Nadia and Nathan, their marriage is indeed interesting.

PSquare Biography – Breakup:

They say “20 children do not play together for 20 years,” but Peter and Paul are not just friends but identical twin brothers. Notwithstanding, it appears like the ‘play’ between Peter and Paul has ended. Has it?

Vanguard Report confirms that a letter was sent to PSquare’s lawyer, Festus Keyamo (SAN) by one-half of the twins, Peter, demanding the termination of their agreement as a group.

Social media has been on fire since PSquare fans started smelling breakup. Questions have been asked, seeing different comments and posts from Peter and Paul.

In an interview with Guardian Life, Peter, to a question about the PSquare break up, answers: “I no longer do family business. It is not healthy.”

Likewise, Paul wrote on Instagram not quite, saying, “Only a woman can come where there’s peace and destroy it”. Please, which woman is he talking about? Well, let’s not make it a debate but join forces and pray for Peter & Paul.
