What Joe Igbokwe said about P-Square’s second fallout
Joe Igbokwe had earlier responded to the fallout between the Psquare duo via an Instagram post, sharing his thoughts about the feud.
He said it was hard to comprehend why twin brothers can’t resolve their issues and love each other genuinely. According to him, it was shameful that they find it difficult to manage the situation.
“So shameful that twin brothers Paul and Peter cannot work together, cannot love one another, cannot trust each other…they could not manage their internal contradictions. Even their wives could not help matters.
What about their parents?…This is a shame. It pains me to no end. Now, are there not elders in the family? This is success without brains. Education without character. Make shame catch us small na.”
