Today, November 18, 2015 marks the 34th birthday of pop duo, Peter and Paul Okoye popularly known as P-Square.

The story of P-Square began in St. Murumba secondary school, a small Catholic school in Jos, Nigeria. The twins were part of their school music and drama club where they began singing, dancing, and miming songs by MC Hammer, Bobby Brown and Michael Jackson.
Subsequently Peter and Paul formed their own group, called ‘Double P’, ‘P&P’, and ‘Da Pees’, until they eventually settled for ‘P Square’.
In 2001, ‘P-Square’ won the ‘Grab Da Mic’ competition, and hence Benson & Hedges sponsored their debut album ‘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, and in 2003, they won the Amen Award for ‘Best R&B Group’.
In April 2010, P-Square was named the Artist of the Year at the Kora Awards in Ouagadougou, Burkina-Faso; an award that comes with a prize money of $1 million.
Fast forward to November 2013, Peter Okoye got engaged and married his longtime girlfriend, Titilola Omotayo, while Paul Okoye got married to Anita Isama in March 2014.
