A debate that has lingered since PSquare's messy split has resurfaced again, this time with a man who claims to have watched the twins work up close.
CDO (John O. Ikeotuonye) a Nigerian gospel recording artist, songwriter, executive producer, and convener of thew Church Outside initiative., sat down on the talktruepodcast on Wednesday, August 12, 2026, to settle a question fans have argued over for years: who is the more talented twin?

His verdict was unambiguous. Peter, he said, edges Paul on talent, even if Paul's voice is what most people associate with their sound.
CDO Makes the Case for Peter Okoye
CDO argued that raw vocal ability is only one measure of talent, and by every other measure, Peter dominates. He pointed to Peter's showmanship, stage organisation, choreography, branding instincts, and creative direction as the pillars that built PSquare's reputation across Africa.
According to CDO, Peter ran daily rehearsals lasting between three and six hours whenever the group was in Lagos, personally leading choreography sessions. He also claimed Peter was the driving force behind the group's distinct visual identity, including the iconic jacket-and-headband aesthetic that became synonymous with their performances.
CDO went further, asserting that Peter was the architect behind Psquare, the performance concept that elevated the group above other Nigerian acts of their era. He described it as a product of discipline and deliberate preparation, not chance.

Peter and Paul Okoye are both talented
According to an upcoming singer, Phemz, the duo of Peter and Paul are both talented.
"What makes Psquare, Psquare is because of their combine effort. Peter and Paul talented both as singers and dancers. I don't think it is fair saying one twin is better than the other. At the end of the day they are still brothers," he said.
