Nigerians on Twitter on Monday celebrated one half of the defunct music group P-Square, Peter Okoye now Mr P, for standing by his wife Lola Omotayo despite allegations she was responsible for the group’s break-up and the continued discord between Peter and Paul Okoye.
They have also compared Peter with Prince Harry who has stood by his wife Meghan Markle despite attacks for renouncing their royal privileges.
It all started when a Twitter user named Fredi tweeted: “Really happy Nigerians are encouraging Harry. But it’s weird cos if a Nigerian man supports his wife like this in Nigeria, e go turn to ‘na Jazz’. Everyone will think the man is mad, just like they have painted @PeterPsquare.”

Peter re-tweeted Fredi’s tweet, adding “Life.”
Peter Okoye wedded Lola in 2013 and four years later the music group collapsed.
Paul who now performs as Rudeboy in a recent interview with PUNCH accused Lola Omotayo of showing him love on social media and wishing him bad privately.
Paul also attacked Lola Omotayo on November 18, 2020, when she celebrated him and his twin brother Peter on social media on their birthday.

I am happy that Peter Okoye is finally getting the recognition he deserves.
That dude sacrificed a lot for his marriage.
Imagine breaking up Africa's biggest music group ever and separating from your twin brother whom you were born together for a woman.
A king I stan.

Peter Okoye (Mr P) did more than Harry to protect his wife.
Fought his family and left them. Quarrelled with his twin. Scattered Psquare, a legacy world-beating successful music group for his wife.
But he was still villainized here by men and women. Is he not a Nigerian man?

If Peter Okoye (Mr P) and Lola Omotayo were the Duke and Duchess of Awka, Peter would have been celebrated for his own decision to protect his wife and cut off his family too. pic.twitter.com/uKHGvQKl5w

When Peter Okoye chose his wife over his family, many of you said the wife was a home wrecker
But now that its Prince Harry choosing his wife over his royal family, you people are calling him a king
It is well
