couple have been in a relationship for over

Sunday, November 17, 2013.
Peter and Lola 3 Why I Married Peter Okoye
Despite The Fact He Is My Junior – Lola
Omotayo
There has been a lot of talk and whispers
about their marriage, the family issues and the
fact that Lola is by far older than Peter Okoye
has been trending. But why did she decide to
marry someone who’s her junior?
Below is Lola Omotayo’s stand on their age
difference… Lola, who was a Business
Development Director at FKG2m a marketing
agency in Lagos, had told the story of how she
and Peter met and how the relationship
started:
“My agency handles some of British American
Tobacco brands and P’Square was doing a
show for us at one of our events in Enugu.
Though I had met Peter a couple of times
before then, at the show there was some
chemistry.
He asked for my number and I refused giving it
to him. I told him ‘if you really want to know
me, you have to find my number’. So he took it
as a task and found my number and the rest is
history.” Lola, said to be in her 30s then and
Peter in his 20s, was not disturbed by the age
difference. Her reason:
“Like I said, Peter is an old soul and he always
tells me that I’m like a 23-year-old. Age is just
a number. Right now, you can see it around
the world. Demi Moore, Usher and some
known people. Even in Nigeria here, they are
dating people far older than their age. So, we
shouldn’t base it on the age factor. He doesn’t
make me feel like he’s younger than me.”
