It could have been worse. Peter Okoye is a hero.
After revolting against the order of things at Squareville and driving his siblings towards the breakup of the decade long music entity, Psquare, he has debuted his real name.
Peter Okoye, the sexy, dancing, eye-catching, dashing, often suave, elegant, hot, and charismatic half of Psquare is now named Mr. P.
Yeah. You heard that right. Peter Okoye is now Mr P for all intent and purposes, this bad guy with all his machismo and fineboyism, were he to go solo, will be called Mr P. And that’s a fine name.
The people on twitter will hate to agree with me. At the moment, they think it is bonkers. In fact, left alone, people on twitter would have Peter sentenced to the firing squad.
But we at Pulse Music are not that mean. In fact, we are Peter’s only buddies, and we have chosen to provide everyone with reasons why that name, Mr P, is pure genius.
First: Here’s the True Meaning of Mr P
Mr P is short for Mr Peanuts. Peter Okoye has had a craving for Peanut all his life, and has stacks of them in every room in his house. So much was his love for peanuts that he got into talks three years ago with a prominent northern ruler (name withheld for security reasons), and submitted a proposal to fully bring back the groundnut pyramids. Mr P just happens to rhyme with Peter, his christened name.
Please find below the five alternative names the singer should have gone for.
Mr Pedro
This means Peter in Spanish, and it would add some exotic Latina air to his brand. Don Pedro de Okohandro Gomez. This sounds just nice.
Pitrus Mushica
If ever botany was your thing, then you would love your favorite singer to sound like something from a dusty textbook. Never mind that this name will most definitely end his solo career. It just sounds so nice and very…academic.
P-Money
You know how the men from Ariaria market loves to attach their name to the papers? Peter Okoye can dig into his friends from that part of the country, and become P-Money. He would rebrand to become a man of stupendous means, spray cash at every performance, and smoke the most expensive fat cigars.
Also, there’s a high possibility that he would be best friends with E-Money.
P-Love
For all the ladies who would love a good time with Peter Okoye, this name is sure to endear him to your heart. With such a genius seductive name, he would only sing R&B love songs, become the symbol of national fornication and roll with all the bad boys of Hollywood. This is his ticket to international fame right here.
Young P
If Peter Okoye were a rapper, then he would definitely be called Young P. He would become the new 50 Cent of Nigeria, declare ownership of Lagos Island, and threaten Ambode himself. He would appear on twitter (a platform which he is already familiar with), and threaten Don Jazzy’s life.
