Eight years after she started dating half of the twin singing sensation, P-Square, Peter Okoye, and with two kids from the affair, Lola Omotayo finally had the last laugh on Tuesday.
Before the very eyes of those who had been wondering what would become of the relationship, she got engaged to the singer. In the typical P-Square fashion, it was not a quiet one.
Armed with a brand new Range Rover SUV, a bunch of flowers, an engagement ring and a note which simply read, 'Please, say yes', Peter popped the question to his mixed-race lover, thereby shutting up the naysayers who felt the relationship was not marriage-bound.
He then took to his Instagram account to share the news with his numerous followers. Like Siamese twins, the lovers had stuck to each other since 2005 when their paths first crossed, just as P-Square were kicking off their career.
From the word go, it seemed they were incompatible, what with differences in factors like age, pedigree, exposure and educational background working against them? But all through the years, any hint of pain or heartache went virtually undetectable, as publicity-shy Omotayo,who rarely steps out with Peter, always puts up a brave front. She is 40, while Peter is 34.
Not discountenancing the fact that she might have nursed some secret pains, she once spoke about how challenging it was dating a celebrity. "There are things you have to deal with; a lot of women, intruders, fans. You have to appreciate and respect the fans, but you also have some of them who are thinking of other things," Omotayo once said.
A Theatre Arts graduate from San Francisco University, United States of America, Omotayo initially had her eyes on Nollywood. But fate had a different plan. Prior to that time, she had enrolled to study Psychology at the Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile Ife, but later abandoned the idea, opting to study abroad instead.
Upon her return to Nigeria, she ended up in the corporate sector, where she worked with ECONET (now Airtel) as an events manager. She later moved to Daily Times, advertising company, FK:G2 and her father's company, Nosco Oil & Gas. It was during her time at FK:G2 that her paths crossed with a young Peter.
Recounting their love story, Omotayo said she was a hard nut to crack. "Though I had met Peter a couple of times before then, at the show, one of our clients, British American Tobacco (BAT) and P-Square were doing something on Benson I want a life partner."
But just when some folks felt Omotayo's parents were not in support of the affair, her father's presence during her surprise birthday party, organised by Peter last year, shut many lips.
If everything goes on as planned, the lovers will be joining a 2face Idibia, who rose through many doubts and scandals to eventually tie the knot with Anie Macauley. For now, many are watching and waiting with bated breath.
