A showbiz insider who claims to have watched PSquare twins work up close has declared Peter Okoye the more talented twin, sparking fresh reactions in the long-running debate. CDO, a singer and former British American Tobacco staff member who once worked with Peter's wife Lola, made the assertion during an appearance on the talktruepodcast on Wednesday, August 12, 2026.
CDO's Verdict on the Okoye Twins
CDO's verdict was unambiguous: Peter edges Paul on talent, even if Paul's voice is what most people associate with their sound. He argued that raw vocal ability is only one measure of talent, and by every other measure, Peter dominates. He pointed to Peter's showmanship, stage organisation, choreography, branding instincts, and creative direction as the pillars that built PSquare's reputation across Africa.
According to CDO, Peter ran daily rehearsals lasting between three and six hours whenever the group was in Lagos, personally leading choreography sessions. He also claimed Peter was the driving force behind the group's distinct visual identity, including the iconic jacket-and-headband aesthetic that became synonymous with their performances.
The Architect Behind PSquare's Success
CDO went further, asserting that Peter was the architect behind PSquare, the performance concept that elevated the group above other Nigerian acts of their era. He described it as a product of discipline and deliberate preparation, not chance.
The clip quickly drew strong opinions from followers on Instagram. @mandydanielz wrote: "the dancing, the dressing, the headband swag the stage presence that was PSQUARE and it was Peter." @goldenbrenda1 said: "Peter decided to dance as a team sport not dat Paul sings any better. Peter is more advantaged becos he pack all the talent for body. Triple threat Peter na joke to Una? Don't play!?"
Fans Divided and Calls for Reunion
@nellykna pushed back: "Is not Peter sir, it is both of them." @paulin.tarpeh appealed for reconciliation: "God created them as a team with unique talents to explore as a team so both of them need to work as a team to make it happen…. Come back together God never make mistakes pls come back together with both talents plssss….. I am a Twinny too seeing them fighting breaks me a lot." @daisy191755 kept it simple: "Thanks you @peterpsquare."
