The wife of talent manager Jude Okoye, Ify Okoye, has created a buzz on social media with her emotional birthday tribute to her brother-in-law, Paul Okoye, while noticeably omitting any mention of his twin brother Peter.
Heartfelt Message Creates Family Drama
On November 18, 2025, as the famous Psquare twins celebrated their birthday, Ify took to her Instagram page to share a special message dedicated solely to Paul. In her post, she expressed deep appreciation for Paul's support during her husband Jude's detention period.
Ify revealed how Paul stepped up for her family when Jude was in EFCC custody, describing him as playing the role of a husband during those difficult times. She emotionally recounted how Paul consistently reassured her during lonely nights that everything would be alright.
Family Support During Crisis
The entrepreneur emphasized Paul's unwavering loyalty, noting that he never left Jude's side when others had abandoned him. She praised him for integrating his family with hers and for praying together during challenging moments.
Ify highlighted Paul's patience and availability, mentioning that she could call him at any hour with numerous concerns, and he never complained. She concluded her tribute by describing Paul as an amazing soul whose presence and blessings are invaluable to her family.
Fan Reactions and Observations
The post quickly attracted attention from fans who noticed the absence of any mention of Peter Okoye. Several comments expressed concern about the apparent division within the family.
One user @_callmeprettie commented: "How can you celebrate one twin? I really pity u people in that family." Another observer @hanskidtoyoureyes noted: "Dem con dey wish twins separately lol."
Some fans took sides in the matter, with @naijabusinessfestivalconnects praising Paul: "Paul is a great humble and kindhearted guy. He's family oriented and always there." Meanwhile, @foreverdamiii specifically wished Peter happy birthday in their comment.
The situation becomes more complex considering that Peter Okoye was among the witnesses who testified against Jude in court during his fraud case. Additionally, Paul had unfollowed his twin brother and made posts suggesting Jude was responsible for his legal troubles after Jude's arrest and detention.
The birthday message has revealed ongoing tensions within the Okoye family, particularly following Jude's legal challenges with the EFCC over money laundering allegations involving both naira and dollar transactions.
