Nigerian singer and former member of defunct PSquare group, Peter ‘Mr P’ Okoye recently urged Nigerians to live in peace and stop bloodshed, which has claimed many lives.
He made the call amid the ongoing clash between Yorubas and Hausas in Ibadan, which trails a series of ethnic clashes in southern and northern Nigeria.
The musician condemned ethnicity, tribalism and racism which influences the decisions of Nigerians and asked that we all live as one.
He wrote;
I am an Igbo man, married to a Yoruba woman.
”I grew up in the north, schooled in the north, started my career in North. And today i speak Hausa language fluently.
”Please this Ethnicity,Tribalism and Racism has to Stop!!! Haba! What is going on?#StopTheBloodShed”

However, a man reacted to his post and called him out for preaching unity and reconciliation to the nation whereas he is yet to reconcile with his twin brother, Paul Okoye.
The man identified as Afam wrote;
”Lol preaching one Nigeria but you can’t even reconcile with your twin brother. Let’s start with one OKOYE first.”
He added; ”Peter’s relationship with his brothers became toxic, they fought and quietly restructured for peace to reign.
Why can’t we do the same in Nigeria instead of deceiving ourselves? Well, you guys are hypocritical, so I understand.”
