A TikTok user identifying as @iryytruetalk, who claims to be Lola Okoye's closest friend from secondary school, has publicly defended her character amid the ongoing feud between Peter Okoye and his brothers, Paul and Jude.
A Voice from the Past
The woman, who says she has known Lola for decades, shared a passionate first-hand account of Lola's true nature, insisting that the recent accolades do not fully capture her goodness.
"There's nothing anybody is saying now that can compare to half of what Lola is," she said in the video, which has since gone viral.
Memories of Kindness and Cleanliness
The friend described Lola as one of the most admired girls in school, noting that her beauty often drew attention. But beyond her appearance, she highlighted Lola's kindness and cleanliness.
She recalled how students would gather around Lola's corner in the boarding house, where her mother would send food for everyone to share. Lola was also known for constantly sweeping her surroundings without complaint, whether in secondary school or later at Obafemi Awolowo University.
"She would be talking and sweeping at the same time. That was just who she was," the friend said.
No Grudges, No Revenge
The former schoolmate also claimed Lola never held grudges or sought revenge. She attended Lola and Peter's wedding and remembered seeing a calm and supportive woman despite challenges surrounding the ceremony.
"The best thing that happened to Peter is Lola," she declared.
Public Reaction
The video sparked reactions from social media users. @lunasoothing commented: "This is why I love when real friends speak up. Good souls always link up. Age is just a number fr."
@itzthelly added: "I like when friends testify. Good people will always find themselves. Age is just a number… this is for those saying she is older than him. Age in marriage is a construct of the society."
Peter Okoye's Claims
The defense comes as Peter Okoye alleged that P-Square's reunion with his twin brother Rudeboy slowed his social media growth. He explained that before the comeback, his accounts were gaining up to 100,000 new followers daily, but after the reunion, his growth dropped drastically.
