one of the trending “CHANGES” is the award winning dual sensation P Sqaure as Peter

headlines.

WAR DRUMS AS PETER OKOYE OF P SQUARE RESPONDS TO GLOBACOM
Award winning dance duo P Square household has been
on fire for a while now which resulted to GLO suspending their contract.
However, Peter Okoye has finally spoken out on the issue as he took to
twitter saying his silence should not be mistaken for weakness. Globacom had
earlier refused to renew P Square’s contract as the company’s ambassador. This
was due to the showdown that took place between Peter Okoye and representatives
of GLO during the grand finale of his popular dance TV show “Dance With Peter”.
According to them, Peter didn’t handle the show well, insisted on things that
were not part of the contract with Glo as the sole sponsor of the show and
overreacted by insulting Glo in the process (unconfirmed inside scoop says it
had to do with a well known African American star who was part of the event).
But the daredevil and unarguably widely loved most
of the P Square duo has bared his mind on social media (though he has long
deleted the tweets) saying he won’t be bullied into submission. Read tweets
below:
Resilient and ever evolving the die-hard entertainer went on to reinstate that his project Dance With Peter still lives on in another tweet:
We have better and exciting DANCE WITH PETER to thrill you dis year. 🙏🏽 Blessed. 😜👊🏼👍🏾— Peter Okoye (@PeterPsquare) 26 February 2016

MAY, 1994, THOUGH HER FATHER IS A NATIVE OF MBAISE, IMO STATE, WHILE HER MOTHER
IS FROM ISHAN, EDO STATE.
HER FATHER, A RETIRED CHARTERED ACCOUNTANT, OWNED
ONE OF THE BIGGEST POULTRY FARMS IN SAPELE. THE LAST CHILD FROM A FAMILY OF SIX,
LUCY WAS NOT OVER-PAMPERED BY HER PARENTS; INSTEAD SHE WAS TAUGHT THE RUDIMENTS
OF HARD WORK AND HOW TO CHASE HER BEAUTIFUL DREAMS, LITTLE WONDER SHE GOT AN
ACADEMIC SCHOLARSHIP WHILE IN PRIMARY FOUR.
LUCY, WHO IS CURRENTLY A FINAL YEAR LAW STUDENT FROM
THE PRESTIGIOUS COVENTRY UNIVERSITY IN THE UNITED KINGDOM, STARTED HER ACADEMIC
JOURNEY IN NIGERIA AT THE FUTURE GENERATION NURSERY AND PRIMARY SCHOOL, SAPELE.
WHILE IN PRIMARY FOUR, THE SCHOOL GAVE HER A SCHOLARSHIP ALL THROUGH HER
SECONDARY SCHOOL LEVEL BECAUSE SHE WAS CONSIDERED TOO BRILLIANT TO BE IN THAT
CLASS. THE SCHOLARSHIP SCHEME TOOK LUCY TO MARIST COMPREHENSIVE ACADEMY, UTURU,
ANAMBRA STATE, A BOARDING SCHOOL OWNED BY THE CATHOLIC MISSIONARY.
BUT AS LUCY GREW, HER PENCHANT FOR SUCCESS AND GREATER
CHALLENGES WAS ALSO GROWING. WHILE IN JSS2, SHE RELOCATED TO THE UK TO CONTINUE

MOELOGO AND DIZZY VC. EARLIER, SHE DELVED INTO MODELLING AND PARTICIPATED IN
THE MISS EAST LONDON BEAUTY PAGEANT IN 2011 AND WON, A FEAT SHE DESCRIBED AS
ONE OF HER GREATEST ACHIEVEMENTS IN LIFE.
UNARGUABLY, LIFE DIDN’T START ON A BED OF ROSES FOR
LUCY, AS SHE HAD TO TIRELESSLY WORK HER WAY TO THE TOP. FROM MONDAYS TO
FRIDAYS, SHE WOULD WORK AS A RECEPTIONIST AT THE DOCTORS, A UK HOSPITAL, AND
THEN RESUMES FOR ANOTHER SUPERMARKET JOB ON SATURDAYS AND SUNDAYS. ASKED HOW
SHE GOT SIGNED TO THE SOAR-AWAY RUDEBOY RECORDZ? LUCY SAID SHE SENT A VIDEO OF
HERSELF SINGING TO PAUL OKOYE, THE HEAD HONCHO OF THE LABEL. LUCKILY FOR HER,
HE WAS IMPRESSED WITH HER SINGING PROWESS, AND THE REST TODAY IS HISTORY.
AS A MATTER OF FACT, LUCY JETTISONED ONE OF HER
CLASSES IN SCHOOL TO PAINSTAKINGLY RECORD THE VIDEO. IT IS DREAMS INDEED COME
TRUE FOR HER. LUCY’S ASPIRATION IS TO BECOME THE BIGGEST FEMALE ARTISTE FROM
AFRICA. SHE WANTS TO EQUAL AND IF POSSIBLE SURPASS THE RECORDS OF BEYONCE AND
RIHANNA. SHE IS QUITE KEEN ON BEING A BLESSING AND SOURCE OF INSPIRATION TO HER
RACE. HER INSPIRATION COMES FROM PERSONAL EXPERIENCES AND EVERYTHING AROUND
HER, INCLUDING GREAT ARTISTES LIKE P-SQUARE, BACKSTREET BOYZ, WESTLIFE, TUFACE,
RIHANNA AND CELINE DION.”

Telecommunication Company
Globacom has dropped brothers, Peter and Paul Okoye of famed group P Sqaure as
its brand ambassador.
According to reports, the
pair who not long ago was in the news for in-house/family squabbles were dropped
following the way Peter handled an issue that occurred during the grand
finale of his dance competition/project, ‘Dance With Peter’.
Peter and one of the
telecom’s representatives had been involved in a issue that the singer/dancer
handled unprofessionally resulting in their termination as brand ambassador.
The sources also revealed
that truly, the company had defaulted in some of the promises made, but that
did not give Peter the right to insult them. This led the no-nonsense CEO of
Globacom Chief Mike Adenuga who is also known not to condole artistes
exuberances (it would be recalled D’Banj also met same fate years back when he
was initially dropped) to ask the duo’s contract not to be renewed.
As at the time of this
report, no comment has been gotten from P Square.

SPECIAL FEATURE: P-Square Launches The Alingos Animated Series
Peter Okoye just released these photos on his
instagram page. Says The Alingos cartoon series, which is centred around the
singing brothers, will hit on our TV screens soon. Peter said they have been
working on the project for five years.
Over the past few months, the multiple award-winning
duo of Peter and Paul Okoye, famously known as P-Square, have relentlessly been
working on a ground-breaking and unprecedented family-oriented animated series
entitled “The Alingos.” The project is an innovation from the stables of
P-Classic Entertainment.
P-Classic Entertainment is an entertainment company
founded and controlled by the P-Square brothers and headed by Peter Okoye. The
outfit is aimed at producing television contents, animation, discovering and
grooming young musicians, and providing an array of entertainment to Nigeria,
Africa and the world at large.
In their usual style of raising the bar in the
entertainment scene, the duo is taking it a notch higher. The Alingos was inspired by the need to
create a unique content for children and fill the vacuum in the media sphere
for this demographic. Adults would also find the animated series appealing. The
Alingos will be the first high quality animated series from Nigeria to fit
local television while intelligently crafted to serve international audience as
well. It will initially run as a weekly web series and then on TV.
This family animated series is just one of many
surprises the duo have stocked in their goody bags to revolutionise the
entertainment industry. It’s no news that P-Square has become synonymous with
top class standards, reflective in the quality of their song-writing, dance and
music videos.
To herald the launch of The Alingos, the brothers
are releasing a teaser – an animated music video for their hit single
‘Unlimited’. It is the first high quality animated video in Nigeria and by
extension the whole of Africa. This animated music video is 100% Nigerian; no
foreign inputs and is created in High Definition with superior picture and
sound quality, as expected from the duo. The production quality compares to
anywhere in the world.
The public and fans of P-Square will get to watch the
‘Unlimited’ animated video as well as The Alingos (when it hits the screens) by
first downloading the P-Square app (P2) due for release next week.
The P-Square app is another novel and exceptional
concept from the creative minds of the twin brothers, to connect and interact
with their numerous fans and followers all around the world. Definitely, this
app will transform the fan community and pioneer a new trend in the
entertainment scene.
The app will contain an archive of exclusive
pictures of P-Square, gallery of latest musical videos including all the videos
from past albums, compilation of all P-Square’s songs, behind-the-scene videos,
awards and concerts videos, concert tickets, events and tour dates as well as
their flagship project The Alingos series. The app also integrates popular
social media networks – facebook, twitter, youtube etc. into one space and
serves as a platform to bring P-Square closer to their fans.
Fans and the public will have endless access to all
these materials and more awesome content from P-Square in the future by
downloading the P-Square app for free on andriod, iOS and windows devices.
P-Square continues to be trailblazers in the music
and entertainment scene in Nigeria and the whole of Africa.

SPECIAL FEATURE: P SQUARE APOLOGIZE FOR POOR PERFOMANCE AT THE GLO CAF AWARDS
Award winning artistes/dancing maestros P Square had an embarrassing performance at the just concluded Glo CAF Award ceremony which took place at the Eko Hotel, Lagos a fortnight ago with other top acts like D'Banj and Lagbaja performed too. The sound production was so wacky as the duo got on stage to give their performance.
The twins had to be called up to the stage a second time for another
performance. This did not go down well with fans, as they took to twitter to
rant and mock the twins on their performance. You can read here NMM
This got to the notice of the twins and Peter Okoye took to his twitter
handle to apologize to their fans, said:
YES! Heard the sound was bad from the broadcast. Sory not our fault. Show must go on. Peace!

NEWS ALERT: P SQUARE MIGHT HAVE A JOINT WHITE WEDDING
Paul Okoye says he could not have held his
traditional wedding on the same day as his brother Peter.
The P Square act told HipTV there are cultural
differences that must be obeyed. Since his fiancee Anita Isama is from Kogi and
Peter’s partner is Yoruba, Paul stated that there was no way the traditional
marriages could have been held together in the same place or the same day.
‘So
because im dey marry Yoruba woman, wey dem go do am here, if my own na from
Kogi, all of us go do am for Lagos? Make una chill. That’s why it’s a
traditional marriage. You do it in a girl’s home. When I go do my own, I will
do it in her home’, he said.
Meanwhile watch the video of Peter Okoye (P Square) and wife Lola Omotayo.
