| PETER AND LOLA. |
Q: What are the challenges?
Having a relationship with a musician is one of the most
challenging situations to be in. There are things you have to deal with; a lot
of women, intruders, fans. You have to appreciate and respect the fans, but you
also have some of them who are thinking of other things. I think it’s one of
the most challenging relationships one can have.
You won’t even spend much time with your partner
because he’s on the road most of the time doing shows and concerts; even during
holidays like Christmas, Easter and New Year, they are not around. So I’m not
really enjoying that part. But I thank God that we are managing it very well.
Q: What attracted you to Peter Okoye?
Peter has drive. He has vision and pursues it. He doesn’t
let anybody distract him from that vision and that I saw in him, which a lot of
people didn’t see. Some people were like, ‘what are you doing with a musician?
Are you crazy?’ but I saw something very different and unique about Peter.
I saw the
goals he set for himself and how he accomplished those goals step by step, and
I was very impressed with that. I also saw that he wasn’t a selfish person.
He was a generous person from the outset, even though he
didn’t have much then, he was always generous. I like a man who is generous,
not for the financial reason, but also to see how he can add value to other
people’s lives; that is very important to me. He is also a good listener; he
listens to people, listens to me…those are the things that attracted me to
Peter. He’s an amazing guy.
