Peter Okoye Apologises Over Nigerian Languages Comment, Accuses Paul of Fueling Backlash

Peter Okoye Apologises Over Nigerian Languages Comment, Accuses Paul of Fueling Backlash

Peter Okoye, known as Mr P, has apologised after facing backlash over comments questioning the practical value of Nigerian languages. He said his remarks were misunderstood and were not intended to insult Igbo culture or any Nigerian language. Peter explained that the exchange began after he mentioned that his children speak French during a family trip to Paris. He accepted responsibility for how his words were received, while insisting he never said he hated Igbo language or culture. The singer also accused his twin brother and former P-Square bandmate, Paul Okoye, of using the controversy to damage his reputation. Peter said he is tired of what he described as repeated public attacks and warned that he will now return the same energy he receives.

Do you think the apology clears up what people found offensive in the original comments?

I agree; an apology helps, but it does not automatically address every concern people had.

Language conversations touch identity deeply, so saying the remarks were misunderstood may not settle every concern.

Blaming Paul for fueling the backlash risks distracting from why the comments drew criticism in the first place.

A clearer follow-up should directly affirm respect for Nigerian languages and avoid turning the issue into another family dispute.
