Peter Okoye: Why Nigerians Are Comparing Singer With Prince Harry

Peter Okoye (Mr P) of the defunct music group P-Square is trending on Twitter as Nigerians remember him for taking his wife's side over his family, the same thing Prince Harry is doing with his wife Meghan Markle.

Music fans are yet to get over the dissolution of P-Square and for years, have continued to call on the twin brothers, Rude Boy (Paul Okoye) and Mr. P (Peter Okoye) to get back together and thrill fans once again.

According to widespread reports at the time, part of the reason for the fight among the star siblings was Mr. P's wife, Lola.

Mr. P had defied his family and taken his wife's side, and that had been the end of the acclaimed duo that shook the entire African continent.

Now, Nigerians on Twitter remember Peter Okoye's actions years ago; how he did something similar by choosing his spouse over his family and didn't get the accolades currently being showered on Prince Harry.

See some of their reactions below:

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.

We need to get colonization off our brains and support our own. Peter Okoye has done more of what prince Harry did. He deserves to be praised not humiliated.

Peter okoye fought for the love of his life, stood by her when the whole family was against her, disowned his family and left with his wife to find peace... If thats not love i dont know what it is.. Nigerians said he was under spell (JUJU) but when it got to Harry it was love. pic.twitter.com/EjBlbwhqg6
