A woman identified as Oyigidu has publicly voiced strong criticisms against Peter Okoye, a prominent member of the defunct P-Square music duo, primarily focusing on his marital relationship with his wife, Lola Omotayo-Okoye, and its perceived impact on the internal dynamics of the Okoye family. According to Oyigidu, Peter Okoye’s handling of Lola’s pregnancy announcement was a pivotal moment that exacerbated existing tensions and contributed significantly to the rift that has plagued the P-Square family.Oyigidu specifically alleged that Peter Okoye’s decision to keep Lola’s pregnancy private from his immediate family, including his twin brother Paul Okoye and their mother, was a deeply disrespectful act.
She emphasized that Peter was 27 years old at the time, an age generally considered mature enough to communicate significant life events to one’s family. “Peter Of P-Square Is Very Disrespectful, And The Beginning Of The Problem That Started In Their Family. It All Started When Lola Was Pregnant. He Didn’t Tell Anyone, Not Even His Twin Brother, Whom He Claimed To Love So Much. Not Even His Mother,” Oyigidu stated, highlighting the perceived betrayal of familial bonds.Further elaborating on her critique, Oyigidu questioned the timing of Peter Okoye’s public announcement of Lola’s pregnancy. She argued that revealing the news on the same day P-Square was scheduled to receive a prestigious award was an insensitive choice that likely alienated his family members.
“And What Is The First Thing You Will Do As a 27-Year-Old Who Just Impregnated His Girlfriend, Who Was Nine Years Older Than Him? You Announced It On The Day P-Square Was Receiving An Award, And You Expected Your Brothers Not To Walk Away?” she rhetorically asked, suggesting that this timing deliberately overshadowed the family’s collective achievement and signaled a prioritizing of his personal life over the group’s success.Beyond the pregnancy announcement, Oyigidu also leveled accusations that Lola Omotayo-Okoye has exerted undue influence over Peter Okoye since the inception of their relationship. Oyigidu posited that this alleged controlling behavior from Lola was instrumental in damaging Peter’s relationship with his own family. “It Was Obvious Lola Was Controlling You From The Beginning, And That Destroyed Your Relationship With Your Family,” she asserted, drawing a direct line between Lola’s alleged influence and the familial discord.These pronouncements have ignited a fervent debate on the social media platform X (formerly Twitter), with a multitude of users expressing skepticism and questioning Oyigidu’s authority to comment on what they consider a private family matter. Many users challenged the validity of her account and the appropriateness of her public commentary.
For instance, @GhostOfberlin_ sarcastically remarked on the expectation of transparency in personal matters, while @Aladetoyinboma1 questioned the necessity of informing extended family about a fiancé’s pregnancy. @Oluwasheyi45 voiced frustration, asking, “Why be say people wey no dey Okoye family dey come claim say Dem sabi everything wey happen for the family?? Can this weyrey just shut up??” Some users, like @jukwese23, even speculated about the true definition of family membership, suggesting that the late mother of the Okoye brothers would have been the definitive arbiter. Other comments, such as @mt4igs’ “Is it your pregnancy? Abi this one is mad ni” and @mahkieee’s query about informing brothers specifically, underscored the sentiment that the matter was overly personal for public scrutiny.However, not all reactions were dismissive. @Bobby_V_17 offered a counter-narrative, suggesting that Peter Okoye had indeed informed his family prior to the public announcement, implying that the award ceremony itself was not the first time they learned of Lola’s pregnancy.
This perspective suggests a potential misinterpretation or selective reporting of events. In contrast, @chike486 offered a more nuanced view, suggesting that at 27 years old, Peter Okoye might not have possessed the full maturity expected in Nigerian societal contexts, implying that expectations of him might have been unrealistic. Meanwhile, @datondoboy directly challenged the foundation of Oyigidu’s claims, questioning her direct knowledge of the events and suggesting a possible underlying agenda: “Did Peter tell you they weren’t aware before he said it to the public… na back of phone she watch… agenda must agenda”.
