Full post after cut ........................
One of the twins of duo popularly known as P-square, Paul Okoye took to his Facebook page yesterday to express his concern over the ongoing face-off between him and his twin brother. He wrote on his page, “After the storm comes the calm. Hoping for better days ahead as one family. God’s intervention." Also, popular R ‘n B musician, Djinee, while reacting to the alleged breakup, expressed optimism that their differences would be resolved as soon as possible.He said: “If these rumours are true, I will see it as a typical African family feud. I pray they resolve their differences as soon as possible. People shouldn’t make things worse by peddling unfounded rumors.”
P-Square's Peter Okoye’s wife, Lola Okoye fired back at those accusing of being responsible for the duo fight, saying “I think silence is the best answer.” Toni Payne, has taken side with the wives, saying people have wrongly blamed them for being the cause of the breakup. Writing on her Twitter, Toni Payne said, fans have been unfair to the wives of the pop twins. She wrote: “Call me a feminist, but I will always stand in solidarity with any woman that is being wrongly accused. That will not change anytime soon.“I had to fight for my freedom. I fell into depression and lost half my body weight. They wanted to kill me; they don’t care about the damage they do to you.”
With arguments almost always frequent in the duo’s lives, there have been increased call for the rumour mill to leave their wives, Lola and Anita, out of the fracas. Precedents Paul and Peter have indicated in several interviews in the past that arguments have always been part of their lives. The twins argue every time an album is close; with intense debates on which song goes in or out. They faced similar problem in 2005 with their Get Squared album and in 2007 with the highly successful Game Over album. Danger, 2009 and Invasion, 2011 were not different.This latest disagreement had intensified as the years rolled by with their individual talents of singing and dancing further pulling them apart.
Peter wants to be identified as a singer as much as a dancer. Jude, their elder brother, has however repeatedly dropped songs Peter has performed from making the final cut because he feels Paul’s songs would do better in the market. Inside sources said this is the major reason Peter wants to opt out as he can no longer stand being just the ‘dancer’ in the group.Appeasement Sources also said that Peter had so protested that the videos of Alingo and Personally were shot to appease him. In the videos, Peter is featured prominently as both a singer and dancer. Vanguard further learnt that Jude had planned to revert to the status-quo in their coming album with Paul doing the songs. The decision put Peter in riot mode; forcing the group to stall the release of their sixth studio album whose fate is hanging in the balance.
