There has been much controversy recently, surrounding the wedding of one half of the P-Square duo — Peter Okoye to his long time sweetheart, Lola Omotayo.
The couple have been in a relationship for over eight years before they finally tied the knot on Sunday, November 17, 2013.
There has been a lot of talk and whispers about their marriage, the family issues and the fact that Lola is by far older than Peter Okoye has been trending.
But why did she decide to marry someone who’s her junior?
Below is Lola Omotayo’s stand on their age difference: –
Lola, who was a Business Development Director at FKG2m a marketing agency in Lagos, had told the story of how she and Peter met and how the relationship started:
“My agency handles some of British American Tobacco brands and P-Square was doing a show for us at one of our events in Enugu. Though I had met Peter a couple of times before then, at the show there was some chemistry.
He asked for my number and I refused giving 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, said to be in her 30s then and Peter in his 20s, was not disturbed by the age difference. Her reason:
“Like I said, Peter is an old soul and he always tells me that I’m like a 23-year-old. Age is just a number. Right now, you can see it around the world. Demi Moore, Usher and some known people. Even in Nigeria here, they are dating people far older than their age. So, we shouldn’t base it on the age factor. He doesn’t make me feel like he’s younger than me.”
But she didn’t say why she married him. Dry interview
She married him because he generous and confident
@Mr Edith..*wuld som1 of such age nt jump @ even a chimp if it proposes to her..*moreso,she ws rich on her own plus she has a 9c background,so, don’t mistake her motive for marrying him solely for money as she aint a gold digger..#Roger?
I don’t see the ‘why’ in this interview.
Age don’t count wen it comes to true love
May be for money
Please our dear belove people LET LOVE LEAD US…like our brother T.B,JOSHUA use to says.pls make una live this two God has bless i think u should seek for own abeg may God help us in Jesus name Amen..oooohohoh
The summary is that she didn’t force peter to marry her, she even turned him the first time,…and peter insisted by going xtra miles to get d number….
