Bet, millions of Nigerians don’t know that Nigerian music stars, Paul and Peter Okoye of the popular music group, P-Square were once footballers.
We can tell you for free that Peter a.k.a Mr.P played with former Nigerian Super Eagles’ midfield maestro and captain, Mikel Obi in Pepsi Academy.
The music duo made the revelation in an interview recently.
Paul said; “We played football. Peter played with Mikel Obi in Pepsi Academy. I was a keeper, but I gave up because I could tell age was coming.”
“But then Nigeria won this football, Atlanta Olympic 96′ I think. And when they won the competition, we saw what the then-president gave the footballers; we dropped our mics and went back to soccer.”
In addition, Peter said; “But remember, at the same time we were having this situation whereby I was playing for Pepsi Academy. So, if we were trying to wear boots, and I’m like, ‘I’m gonna remain local. Entertainment is about to take me international’.”
“God has a reason like, if I was playing football today, five years ago, I would have retired. But today, we are still doing music.”
