Nigerian music sensation Mr P, Peter Okoye of P-Square, has generated online debate after releasing a video from his recent trip to Jos, Plateau State, his native home.

According to a trending video, Mr P popped out of his car's sunroof and waved to passers-by on the streets of Jos.
However, the residents went about their everyday lives as usual. There were no screaming fans or visible excitement on the streets.
Many people have linked the video to what might have happened several years ago.
Many saw this as a stark contrast to over a decade earlier, when P-Square could not enter any large Nigerian city without inciting turmoil, excitement, and massive fan gatherings.
The video has already gone viral, with thousands of Nigerians responding, some expressing empathy, others highlighting the value of humility and appreciating each season of life.
