Lola Omotayo has confirmed that she is indeed pregnant for Peter Okoye of Psquare, one of Nigeria's most popular hip hop group.
She confirmed the pregnancy story in an interview published in this week's edition of Encomium, a leading soft sell magazine in Nigeria.Peter also confirmed the gist too.He, however, said he is not ready for marriage yet.
http://www.niyitabiti.blogspot.com/ gathered that Lola, a staff of top marketing outfit,FK:G2 owned led by Biodun Shobanjo is very happy about the pregnancy and she is ready to go any length to take of it.
As regards marriage,Lola went philosophical.In her words "There is so much that completes a woman and marriage is not it.I've never focused on that.I'm not afraid to be alone.I pray, I am not going to end up alone for the rest of my life,I want a life partner.But the tag,marriage is not something I think is the ultimate.I would take my time rather than rush into marriage only top later discover that it is not what to expect.And Peter as well is dealing with his won career and he wants to focus on that and you know,maybe in a year's time,I'd be ready to get married and if he's not,then we may get to go our seperate ways.The truth of the matter is that mnarriage is not in the picture for me now"
Lola is 35 while Peter is still in his 20s.Lola believes love is the ultimate and not the age difference bewteen them.
They kicked off the relationship about three years ago.Since then, they have been together.Recently, the issue of another girl coming into the picture almost caused them to seperate.Now, Lola believes she has to take charge of her man by making sure she attend functions more often with him these days.
What's up with Lola. With all these talk about her being a big girl and all. What's going on? I am not judging her because pple that live in glass houses do not throw stones. In other words, i would give my sincere comments, which are; first of all, Peter is a young igbo boy, his experience with life, i believe, is much lesser than Lola's. Pls, don't get me wrong, i am not saying that they will not get married in the near future if it is the will of God for them. All i am saying is that being pregnant for him, does it make the state of their relationship any better? Why i am asking these questions is that these guys are role models. I have never met them in real life but i have heard so much about them and i am thinking, "what's going on?" Maybe they should see a counsellor or better still get their immediate families involved other than been featured in the magazines every now and then regarding their relationship issue - anyway, good luck to them in their decision-making.

ReplyDeletehmmmmm...
ReplyDeleteseems to be d trend...
dont blame her tho, at 35,she doesnt have all d time in the world....well,she's a big gal..'can def take care of herself.
niyi, which one u dey? been a while.
where is this Lola Omotayo from? Is she from Ibadan - she seems familiar :)
ReplyDeleteI wish her all the best sha.
Good job, Niyi ....
Great news! I just hope that Munachi girl doesnt break this lovely couple up....
ReplyDeleteoh you see, the article stated that munachi abii, the other girl almost caused them to seperate. I just hope they dont breakup because of some slizy cheao girl!
ReplyDeleteniyi baba, u always give u correct gist!
ReplyDeleteNiyi baba, u always give us cirrect gist
ReplyDeleteLola, I beg take full charge of your man o! These women no dey see money man leave them alone! Rapping Ifunaya with psquare my ass! You see, munachi almost snatched him away.
ReplyDeletehmm! is this the new trend now in naija? Musicians/yung men impregnating girls extra-maritally up and down!
ReplyDeleteThis one she's sayn that in a yr's time she'd be ready 2 marry and if he's not then its over...seems like she's droppn heavy hints for the dude.
Nma
wow wow wow. You really are the true gistmaster. I wish her nothing but the best. I guess its becoming more acceptable to have children out of wedlock or maybe women don't care anymore. I don't know if this is a good or bad trend. But if I get to her age and there is no good prospect insight I prolly do thesame.
ReplyDeleteIm so happy for her!! Im sure shes been waiting for this for a long time. I guess that corrects the breast implants rumor. The reason why her breast looks inflated is cuz she is pregnant. We all know thats one of the first sign of pregnancy. Congratulations girl!!!
ReplyDeletethot she's not too keen on getting married...so y is she saying maybe they will go thier separate ways if shes ready for marriage in a yrs time and he's not....well sha...good luck to them!
ReplyDeletehmmn! thanks niyi...... don't really have much to say but i do not like the idea of getting pregnant for a guy outside of wedlock... but since she said she doesn't mind ending up alone(and probably raising the kid alone)... am guessing she is prepared for the worst, by that i mean everything that may happen afterwards...... besides she seems like a big gurl that gat things going on good for her......Nywayz, best of luck to them both
ReplyDeleteoh my goodness! when i read these interviews i shrug and my skin crawls into a fetal position.
ReplyDeletecongrats 2 them tho.
what's really up with women?
ReplyDeleteafter all d shakara...(cos lola def looks like someone whose had her fair share of men and "toasters")....to have a kid outside wedlock for someone abt 8 yrs younger?(singer or not! i dont really care...)
and to have to drop hints dat he better marry u or else??
how much worse does it get.....
women!maximise your moments oo....
nothing lasts forever!
cant resist saying this..
....reminds me of nike oshinowo and the already married baba she now calls her husband!
ANON-11;45 pm..
ReplyDeletewow--your comment gave me the shivers ooo..na tru you talk oh...so many of we women just po pose oshi for even eligible guys in our "younger" days and then when the time passes truth is more often than not we start to settle for "he is shaaa okay now abi?" kinda guys...
LORD HELP US ALL---
as for lola--and me i just don't understand anymore what is going on.i just sensed there was something off in her eyes in that picture--
hmm--i wish her all the best sha--.
ED
As a self-educated psychologist, may I mention, that if you look closely at Loa & Peter's picture u can see that her eyes are saddened....she maybe sending a message to us; she loves this guy but is not happy with the way things are; notice the way she tilts her head on his shoulder while he looks on....she was sending the message to other ladies that " this is my zone, please leave him for me"
ReplyDeleteor maybe she was just tired due tot he pregnancy......bottomline is that there's a message in her eyes.
Amebo
nna men, telleth me abouts it...lol
ReplyDeletemost of u guys are right on d money.
wat d hell?? lola was obviously LYING in that interview. she didnt want 2 seem desperate so she had 2 try 2 do big girl thing and play it off while also DROPPING HINTS THAT SHE DOES WANT 2 GET MARRIED.
call me old fashioned but i would rather not be a baby mama cos sad 2 say it but most stories like this always end up so. why can we have children but not get married?? look at the case of Kim Porter and Diddy. whenever i see that woman, i feel as tho she has self esteem issues 4 REAL! diddy is goin 2 end up marrying a gold digger while u...well u just end up being the BABY MAMA. unfortunately peter is sounding alot like Diddy. Lola does that ring a bell?
Ladies put ur feet on d ground. love with all ur heart but with all your head as well. Demand marriage if u feel u deserve it jare or chew on those birth control pills like candy and protect urselves (4get the dont u trust me BULLSHIT?") atleast until he starts speaking & showing signs of marriage.
just my 2cents sha.
hell 4 all we know she probably just needed a sperm donor but i doubt it. they've been dating 4 a while now.
i still think Psquare is lying abt their age
ReplyDeleteget it sista. babe wants to have a child before its too late. if u're 35 and u're not married u must have that sorta belief about marriage so free the babe .it aint easy get ur kid leave the boy and do ur thang u're late already
ReplyDeletelol I WISH I had a boobs, anyways oh my goodness this news is getting so much attention. WOW!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Amebo's comment here. The girl is both sad and having pregnancy related stress.
ReplyDeleteIf peter doesnt want to marry her, then there's little she can do about that. Is Munachi also pregnant for him?
Lola is probably blaming herself for ever getting involved with this guy.
The PROBLEM with us Nigerians is that we are so, so JUDGEMENTAL. Anywhere else in the world, this wouldn't be a big deal. They have been dating for almost 3yrs!!! Why would she not be pregnant. So what if she is 'Aristo'. The bottom line here is that she met someone who genuinely liked her. So called 'Aristo' men toasted her and dated her but they probably did not treat her right. Most women are very simple when it comes to love. Or should that be most women that are non-Nigerian. It is Nigerian men and women that have complexes about status, material wealth, so called exposure, tribes, etc that stops them from socialising, mingling and doing things they actually like. I have been in Nigeria for two years now and I realise that Nigerians are the shallowest and most judgemental people in the world. They don't do what they believe in, they only do what they think will impress other people, prove to other people they are better and wealthier. So Lola found someone she liked, she stuck with him and now she's pregnant. Nigerians put too much emphasis on marriage, like women are not human or worthwile unless they are married. Meanwhile 99.99% of married Nigerian men are all cheating on their wives.
ReplyDeleteTo the last anon: you are so right! In nigeria as a woman, its school and then marriage afterwards. Most Nigerians are so backwards when it comes to having kids outside marriage. Situations happens. I myself have one parent from Nigeria and the other European both now seperated. I am perfectly happy with a good career and I have the best of both worlds. Nigerians need to start living in the real day to day world accepting the fact that things dont always stay the way they expect it to be. Women dont need to stay in abusive marriages or unhappy ones because life is too short! Marriage is not always the ultimate. When its right, its sweet, when its not get out of it fast because there is only one life to live!
ReplyDeleteI think the problem here is that most people in Nigeria try to live what pleases others and not themselves. Most marriages in Nigeria are very abusive and unhappy. Yet, they live together. I think that people should start living in the real world of today and stop purnishing themselves emotionaly. I am also half black and white and my parents seperated and the situation is perfect with us but Nigerians seems to have a problem when I tell them that my parents are sperated and live in different countries
ReplyDeleteLola is a half cast and obviously, she is exposed and understands more cultures and more worlds out there. She is independent and dont have a narrow mind!
ReplyDeleteI am not saying having children outside of marriage is wrong or right. Circumstances happens in life. I thnk these people should come and live in London to see how many mothers who have millions of children outside marriage. Some do it because they choose to, some do it because they dint plan to, some do it because the men have left them for other women.
ReplyDeleteAnonymous 10.07pm..you said it all. You basically summed up my thoughts..WTH! nigerians!!
ReplyDeleteI no know why this bobbo see fit to lie O. I went to school with Peter and can confirm that he has not been in his 20's since a decade ago. Lola be a sissy next to him omoge only has 2 years on him O
ReplyDelete"Do me... i do you, God no go vex."
ReplyDeleteabeg it seems like women past the age of 34 and are still not married change the story to "i have never been one for marriage, or am not afraid to be alone or i dont want to rush into things"....i think its rather distasteful as it shows that nigerians whom i once admired are becoming more western. since when did we start saying we are looking for life partners instead of husbands......AGE....

ReplyDeleteThis is for Lola. just saw this site today and i just heard abt all this. never even knew peter was dating.
ReplyDeletenyways wat i wanted to say is dat she should be careful of wat she wishes for. the truth is deep down, every woman wants to get married and once u are getting older u start getting disturbed wen nothin is happenin.
she might not want to say out her mind cos she doesnt want to look desperate to peter or people but the truth is no one knows wat u go thru in ur life or relationship xcept u. she might want to look strong to her man dat she is okay with the idea of waiting and not ready but my dear, im not saying things would end up bad but in this situation she needs to think of dat possibility. Being a single mum at 35! its hard to find a man who is ready to commit to marriage. it happens but its very very rare. following him to every event is not the solution. the simple solution is communication. she should sit her man down and talk to him about wat she wants out of this relationship. if its marriage she should be honest abt it to him. 3 years is not 3 days.
Congratulation on their bundle of joy. wish them all the happiness in the world.
Lola i like ur words u talk like a real lady has 2, gudluck both of ya nd nice boobs
