Nigerian Singer, Peter Okoye Shuts Down Possibility Of P-Square Ever Reuniting

Image
  One half of the now-defunct music duo P-Square, Peter Okoye, popularly known as Mr P, has firmly dismissed any possibility of the group reuniting. P-Square, which consisted of twin brothers Peter and Paul Okoye, rose to fame as one of Africa’s most successful music acts, celebrated for their electrifying stage performances, synchronized dance routines, and a string of hit songs that dominated the airwaves for years. The duo first split in 2017 following internal disagreements that played out publicly, much to the disappointment of fans. After a prolonged period of tension and widely reported family disputes, the brothers reconciled in 2021, sparking excitement and hope for a lasting reunion. However, the renewed partnership proved short-lived, as they reportedly fell out again in 2024 and have since returned to pursuing separate careers as solo artistes.

“Stop Doing DNA Tests, It’s Against Igbo Culture” — Odumeje

Image
Controversial Nigerian Pastor, Chukwuemeka Cyril Ohanaemere, popularly known as Odumeje or Indaboski Bahose has sparked widespread reactions online after sharing his views on DNA testing and paternity verification. In a recent statement, Odumeje argued that conducting DNA tests goes against traditional Igbo cultural beliefs. He emphasized that any child born within a marriage should automatically be recognized as the husband’s, framing such acceptance as a key aspect of marital and cultural integrity. The cleric further questioned the reliability of DNA testing in Nigeria, claiming that local laboratories cannot always be fully trusted to provide accurate results. According to him, this uncertainty raises doubts about the validity of paternity tests conducted in the country. Odumeje’s comments have reignited debates on social media, with some supporting his stance on cultural norms, while others argue that modern science should take precedence when questions of paternity arise.
