One Nigerian Comedian Will Soon Experience The Naija Version Of The Oscars – Paul Okoye

Popular singer, Paul Okoye has come out to predict that Nigerian celebrities will soon copy Will Smith’s action against Chris Rock.

He recently had his say via his social media page, and Nigerians have been reacting.

According to him, he believes Nigerian comedians will calm down when they start getting the same reaction Chris Rock got for telling a joke he felt was harmless.

Paul added that the comedian better take the hint, else they will be used as the Naija version of the Oscars.

WOW.

P-Square is a Nigerian duo of identical twin brothers Peter Okoye and Paul Okoye. They produced and released their albums through Square Records. In December 2011, they signed a record deal with Akon’s Konvict Muzik label. In May 2012, they signed a record distribution deal with Universal Music’s South African branch.

On 25 September 2017, numerous media outlets reported that the group disbanded. Reports about a breakup surfaced after Peter reportedly sent a termination letter to the group’s lawyer. Prior to this report, the duo disbanded in 2016, supposedly over a disagreement about the role of their manager.

P-Square began in St. Murumba secondary school, a small Catholic school in Jos, Plateau State Nigeria. Peter and Paul joined their school music and drama club where they began singing, dancing, and mimicking songs by MC Hammer, Bobby Brown and Michael Jackson.

In 2001, “P-Square” won the “Grab Da Mic” competition, and hence Benson & Hedges sponsored their debut album, titled Last Nite, which was released under Timbuk2 music label. P-Square was also nominated as “Most Promising African Group” in the Kora Awards three months after the release of their debut album. They eventually won the 2003 Amen Award for “Best R&B Group”.
