Award-winning Nigerian musical duo, Paul and Peter Okoye of P-Square, have revealed why they gave up on pursuing a career in football.
The twin musical duo said they wanted to be football stars while growing up in Jos, Plateau State, but for some reasons, they ended up as musicians. They disclosed this in a recent interview with CNN.
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.”
