Wife of Nigerian musician, Peter Okoye of P Square fame, Lola Omotayo-Okoye has disclosed that she stood behind her husband at a time that he was not worth much.

According to her, Peter was not an ‘already made guy’ when they met for the first time. Lola said she didn’t allow some of her friends to discourage her on the journey that she made up her mind to embark on with Peter—because she realized that he had a dream.

Lola, who is a mother of two advised young women to aim high—and not allow their past experiences to ruin their life.

“You shouldn’t let your past determine what your destiny will be, we all have our past whether good or bad or makes us unhappy, we all had a life that we lived that we are not happy about,you shouldn’t let it bother you from succeeding.

“People began to like me because I was adding value to their lives. At work I was excellent and so was I in school and that built me as a strong woman and at some point, I sought counseling to get over my molestation issues where I was made to see reasons why I wasn’t at fault cos I was a child then,” she said.

“Today I am accomplished. Look at my husband,” she continued, “when I met him peeps were like what are you doing with him, he has nothing but I stood my ground and choose to stick with him cos he had a dream. He and his twin brother did not let their dream die; they worked hard; look at them today! I stuck by him cos he had focus and drive and today I am happy, I have a good life, we are happy and we have got a beautiful family. No one can make you a loser.”

“You can be whatever woman you want to be but you have to believe in yourself, if they reject you today, it doesn’t mean you should let your dreams die, you have something unique about you.” Lola added.
