Popular musicians, Paul and Peter Okoye of P-Square have made a revelation.

The twin singers 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.”

“But remember, at the same time we were having this situation whereby I was playing for Pepsi Academy.”

“So, if we were trying to wear boots, and I’m like, ‘I’m gonna remain local. Entertainment is about to take me international’.”

“God has a reason like, if I was playing football today, five years ago, I would have retired. But today, we are still doing music.”
