P-Square Celebrate Birthday with Orphans

Multi award winning twin brothers, Peter and Paul Okoye of the P-Square fame added another year on Wednesday November 18th. Unlike last year that a party was held for them at an urbane club in Lagos , they decided to celebrate this year’s in an orphanage home in Lagos .
The day actually served as a special day for the brothers because it gave them the opportunity to reflect on their lives whilst appreciating God for where he has brought them so far. Right from the days they slept in Howie T’ DJ store, renting their own apartment in Ilupeju, Lagos , Moving to another apartment in Omole Phase 1 and about completing their own house in the same Omole Estate.
The brothers have no doubt come a long way. The manifestation of what they are today started at St. Murumba College in Jos. They started as dancers with the group Smooth Criminals and they mainly danced and mimed to M.C Hammer, Michael Jackson and Bobby Brown’s songs. The group existed for five years before breaking up leaving Peter, Paul, Michael and Melvin. The four of them later formed another group known as MMPP. The group broke up after few years of existence and Peter and Paul stuck together. Today, the rest is history.
The group marked their birthday with the orphans at the Little Saints Orphanage in Akowonjo, Egbeda - Lagos . They really had a good time with the children.
According to the brothers, the reason why they decided to celebrate their birthday at the orphanage was that they couldn’t have thought of a better way of celebrating it. “We couldn’t think of a better way o celebrate than with these children who have been deprived of the love and warmth they could have received at a point in time but for fate. They see us only on TV, but we would like to connect with these kids one way or the other. We’ve had too many birthday parties in the past and so thought to do something different. It was after much thinking we decided there was no better way to celebrate our birthday but to give back to the society. We are here to have fun and relate with the children, so for us, it’s not just about music and making money, it’s showing the other side of us which shows we really care for those around us even the less privileged”.
