Many have continued to compare the marriage of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle to that of Peter Okoye and Lola Omotayo-Okoye, even labeling the latter couple as the “Duke and Duchess of Awka” because of the similarities both marriages share. These similarities are found in the couple’s age differences, their different ethnicities, and lots more. Despite growing criticisms against their union, Peter and his now-wife — Lola — stood by each other, and today, their marriage has been able to withstand the test of time.

Peter And Lola Started As Friends
Finding your partner can sometimes be challenging, but the astonishing thing about it is that your partner can come into Your life in different ways: at work, on a dating app, through mutual friends, and so on. Sometimes, your perfect match may be a person you’ve already known for years. Peter and Lola are one couple that has once again reminded us all that friends falling for each other could be magical.

They had always known each other for a very long time before they met in person. When Peter was one-half of the P-Square duo with his brother Paul Okoye, they often contacted Lola as she and her agency organize shows that had P-Square in attendance.

Peter was introduced to Lola by his friend and former manager, but before their eventual meeting, Lola was already a stunt fan of the P-Square group, thanks to P-Square’s manager who offered her one of the singers’ CD. From getting addicted to the duo, she grew some form of likeness for them, not knowing she would settle for one of them.
