Trends are quick to catch on in Nigeria. Once somebody does a thing and it’s successful or enjoys a favourable response, a lot of people tend to follow suit. It happens in a business environment, religion,even in politics. And the story is not different either in the music industry. Years back, the music business wasn’t as attractive as what it is today. Then, those who were in the indsutry were seen as never-do-well people. This negative perception continued until ‘2face’ emerged on the scene.
That was when a lot of people started showing interest in music. The industry started booming, and many abroad based Nigerian musicians started returning home to identify with the new trend.

Today, the industry has become an all comers affairs with a lot of young people dropping out of school to pursue a career in music.Those who tried to go to school, have since dumped their certificates and embraced music.

When Peter Okoye first impregnated his long standing girl friend, Lola Omotayo, many thought it was a mistake. But then, after few years, another “mail” arrived and Peter was blessed with another baby boy in January 2013, through his Baby Mama, whom he has finally taken home as a wife as she now bears Lola Omotayo-Okoye. *I’m so happy for her*
