Peter Okoye of P'Square and Lola Omotayo's love story is
compelling and amazing. 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.�
Hmmmn, is age really just a number in marriage, especially in
Nigeria?
