Peter Okoye of the defunct Psquare said he now earns more as a solo artiste than he used to as a member of the popular group.

According to him, the solo journey has been a blessing.

Peter Okoye, aka Mr P, stated this in a Facebook post on Monday while reacting to an Instagram post in which his embattled brother and former manager, Jude ‘Engees’ Okoye purportedly called him “broke”.

Peter has been locked in a bitter feud with his twin brother, Paul and their elder brother and former manager, Jude, who is currently being prosecuted by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

Jude wrote, “They all have one thing in common: They were big, influential and successful when I was shouldering them with my platform until they got greedy and wanted to eat alone and so left.

“They never complained afterwards. Rather they bragged about their ‘new found freedom’ and ‘making it all on their own’. Years down the line they fell off the wagon and became broke and instead of accepting responsibility and accountability for their choices, they are pointing fingers at the same person they left for their ‘freedom’.”

Sharing a screenshot of Jude’s post, Peter said, “Calling me broke or wishing I was broke has been your wish. These are the exact same words you told the EFCC officials. And you ended up getting locked up in prison.

“Of course, you have to come up with another narrative. You were shouldering who?

“Agbaya, you were employed as a manager, and you got sacked the same as the other 2 managers before you. Period!

“I understand this may not sit well with some people, but truth be told, aside from my businesses, what I now earn on my own as a solo artiste today is more than what I used to earn after splitting three ways as PSQUARE plus the so-called manager.

“I am talking about both shows and endorsements. It really makes me question what’s the point of sharing with people who stole from you, betrayed you, and still discriminate against your efforts!?

“This solo journey has been a blessing—more rewarding and profitable, both financially and personally, no doubt.

“And it has also brought peace of mind. And if you don’t relate or it doesn’t make sense to you, no worries—it’s not meant to. But I am grateful.”

Peter added that he would not be civil in the face of blatant disrespect.

He stated, “I have stopped playing nice and being the matured one while getting disrespected!

“I started treating people exactly how they treat me. Respect me, I respect you! Ignore me, I ignore you! Cross me, I cut you off, simple.

“Life isn’t about begging people for fair treatment! It’s about matching energy; it is what it is.”

After Peter filed a complaint, the EFCC is prosecuting Jude for alleged theft and money laundering, involving sums of $1,019,762.87, £34,537.59, and ₦1.38 billion.

The charges include the unlawful conversion of music royalties and the acquisition of a property worth ₦850 million, allegedly linked to proceeds of unlawful acts, with offences said to have occurred between 2016 and 2023.

Social media commentator Verydarkman has shared his thoughts on the ongoing online discussions involving singer Chike and Sandra Edoho, the ex-wife of media personality Frank Edoho.

In a video circulating online, Verydarkman spoke about the temptations that can come with fame and popularity, noting that celebrities often attract attention from different kinds of people.

He stated that he personally avoids getting involved with married women because of the complications and consequences such relationships can bring.

Alleged extra marital affair: Court orders VeryDarkMan to pay Mr Jollof’s wife N30m for defamation

A Delta State Federal High Court sitting in Effurun has ordered popular Nigerian social media personality, VeryDarkMan, to pay N30 million in damages to comedian Mr Jollof’s wife, Mrs Esinjemiyotan Uruneyonjuyei Atsepoyi.

It all started in September 2024 when VeryDarkMan, during his online altercation with Mr Jollof, accused his wife of committing adultery with politicians and Yahoo boys to help her husband secure a political appointment in Delta State.

In response, Mr Jollof, who described VeryDarkMan as a product of a broken home, said he was not well trained.

Reacting to the allegations against her, Mr Jollof’s wife, Esinjemiyotan Uruneyonjuyei Atsepoyi, filed a N500 million defamation lawsuit against VeryDarkMan.

However, in a court document signed by Hon. Justice R. Harriman on May 13, 2026, and obtained by DAILY POST, the court ordered VeryDarkMan, who was unable to provide evidence to back his claim, to pay N30 million for defamation.

The judge also gave VeryDarkMan a 14-day ultimatum to publish an apology to Esinjemiyotan Uruneyonjuyei Atsepoyi in two national dailies and across all his social media handles, containing a retraction of the defamatory words.

In his ruling, Justice Harriman said: “I therefore have no hesitation in holding that the words complained of are defamatory in their natural and ordinary meaning and are actionable per se.

“I find that the Claimant is entitled to general and aggravated damages and an injunction. See DIAMOND BANK v. OKPALA (2016) LPELR-41573(CA) and OBOK & ORS v. AGBOR & ORS (2016) LPELR-41219(CA). Given the wide dissemination of the defamatory material, a retraction and apology are appropriate to restore the Claimant’s reputation.

“Judgment is hereby entered in favour of the Claimant against the defendant as follows: It is declared that the words published by the Defendant concerning the Claimant are defamatory.

“N20,000,000.00 (Twenty Million Naira) as general damages; N10,000,000.00 (Ten Million Naira) as aggravated damages. The Defendant is hereby directed to publish an apology to the Claimant in two national dailies and all his social media handles containing a retraction of the defamatory words contained in the Defendant’s online publication of 15th, 16th, and in the early hours of 19th September, 2024, within 14 days of this judgment.

“The Defendant, by himself, his agents, and/or privies, is hereby restrained from further making any defamatory publication against the Claimant,” the court ordered.
