Social media commentator Martins Vincent Otse, widely known as VeryDarkMan, has warned Nigerians against rushing to judgment in the renewed public dispute involving singer Peter Okoye and his elder brother, Jude Okoye.
Speaking during a live session broadcast online, Otse argued that many citizens were allowing emotion to override objectivity by backing Peter Okoye without first hearing from the other parties involved. He specifically noted that Paul Okoye and Jude Okoye had yet to present their accounts publicly.
“Nigerians are so emotional. This is why Mohbad will never get justice. Everybody is supporting Peter, but they have yet to hear from Paul and Jude,” Otse said, drawing a parallel to the protracted quest for accountability in the death of singer Ilerioluwa Aloba, known professionally as Mohbad.
Otse maintained that public opinion should not be formed on a single narrative. He urged the public to reserve conclusions until all individuals connected to the disagreement have spoken.
The remarks arrive amid revived scrutiny of the long-standing rift within the Okoye family, formerly known as the music duo P-Square. Interest surged following the release of the eighth installment of Peter Okoye’s “Mr P” unveiling series, which reignited discussion around the brothers’ fractured relationship.
Reaction across social platforms has been divided. Some users endorsed Otse’s call for due process and a fair hearing for all sides. Others contended that Peter Okoye’s allegations warrant serious consideration and should not be dismissed outright.
The Okoye brothers’ estrangement has played out publicly for years, marked by periodic reconciliations and fresh fallouts. The current exchange has again placed family dynamics, business entanglements, and public loyalty under intense digital scrutiny.
Observers note that the commentator’s intervention highlights a broader pattern in Nigerian digital discourse, where high-profile disputes often trigger immediate polarization before facts are fully established. As the situation develops, attention will likely remain fixed on whether the other parties respond and whether the public adopts a more measured approach to evaluating competing claims.
