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."
