Paul Okoye, of the twin music sensation, P-
Square and his wife, Anita, in a new
interview, share their ador1able love story.

While he calls his wife, “Hani”, she calls him
“Bulus”. They reveal quite a lot in their new
interview though.


Read excerpts below:


How did you meet your wife?

Paul: We met at the University of Abuja. I was
a final year student and she was a freshman. I
had a crush on a certain girl who I was
supposed to meet with. But, when I called her,
she told me she was at a friend’s place and
invited me over. When I got there, I met Anita
who was also visiting and somehow, I
managed to get her telephone number.

Everything changed from that moment.


How did the relationship develop?

Paul: I travelled to Lagos that day and while I
was there, I constantly pestered her with
telephone calls. I paid Anita a visit when I
returned to Abuja, but she did not even let me
into the house. The first Valentine’s Day gift I
ever got her was a movie, which starred
Genevieve Nnaji, because she was and is still
a big fan of hers.


What qualities attracted you to each other?

Anita: I was blown away by his humility,
kindness and genuine character. He is very
funny and there is no airs and graces to him.
He is an amazingly humble, reserved and
compassionate man.

Paul: I have always liked light-skinned girls
but aside from that, I have always desired an
intelligent lady to complement me. She is very
proactive and has the ability to produce
fantastic results from simple ideas.


How long have you known each other?

Paul: We have been together for about 11
years and still counting.
Anita: Paul and I have known each other since
I was 16 years old and we began dating when
I was 18. I am married to my best friend and I
know him much more than he knows himself
and vice versa. It is such a fun-filled marriage
and our son is a big blessing.


How did he propose marriage to you?

Anita: Paul took me to a jewellery store and
asked me to pick any diamond ring of my
choice; there were 10 rings before me. I did,
and right there he dropped on one knee and
popped the question. It was sudden and such
a spontaneous romantic gesture. I was
completely floored and all I could do was cry.


Did you date other ladies before you
proposed to her?

Paul: She is the only woman I have ever loved.
We started off as friends before we became
partners; I don’t consider us to be in a
relationship and that is why I describe her as
my partner and a very important part of my
life.


Did any member of your families oppose
your relationship?

Paul: Not really, but her dad did not show any
enthusiasm the first time I met with him. He
did not say anything relating to my looks but I
knew he was not happy that I had dreadlocks
on and wore earrings. I had already
established a relationship with her mum
because she always visited while Anita was in
school. Today, we have become really close.


Is there anything you wish you did better at
the outset of your relationship?

Paul: I wish I was rich when I was in the
university. She did quite a lot for me while I
was in the university and that is one of the
reasons I do all the things I do for her.


How did you adjust to life as a married
woman?

Anita:There wasn’t much of an adjustment
really. We have always been inseparable and
that helped to solidify our relationship.


Do you have access to each other’s phone
and social media accounts?

Paul: We have our phones and I do not know
what she does on social media. Mistrust is
one the reasons marriages break down. She
answers my telephone only when I ask her to
and not at her discretion.


What would you like to change about your
husband?

Anita: I don’t think there is anything I want to
change about my husband. He is a wonderful
father and husband. No matter the flaws he
has (that is if he has any, as I can’t think of
one), that is what makes him Paul Okoye.


How do you spend time together as a
couple?

Paul: We have regular lunch dates, especially
after church on Sundays. We always spend
time together when I am not in the studio or
on tour. We also like to travel during festive
seasons. Sometimes, my wife and son travel
with my brother’s family, so that Peter and I
can work.


What hobbies do you have in common?

Paul: I sing and she does not. I play musical
instruments and she does not. However, she
has her way with food and cooking. We have
different preferences when it comes to food.

Anita: We are quite an active couple. We love
sports, riding bicycles, beach volleyball,
running around with our son, niece and
nephew and generally just goofing around. We
also love watching CNN, Comedy Central and
crime channels together.


Do you operate a joint bank account?

Paul: We have our separate accounts,
including my son but my wife is aware of very
single transaction that takes place in these
accounts. However, I remit a certain amount to
her every month.


Do you get jealous of her male admirers?

Paul: It is normal. Sometimes, when we go to
the club, some guys try to woo her and I have
a way of warding them off just with a stare.
But that shows she is beautiful. No one will
approach you if you are not beautiful. My wife
has her fans and she knows I have more fans
than she does.


Why do you think most celebrity marriages
break up?

Paul: To understand the reason, you must
understand the woman’s reason for getting
married to a celebrity. People must be aware
of the consequences of getting married to a
celebrity, so they have to face it. Some
celebrity marriages do not last because the
spouses try to take the career away from their
celebrity spouse. There are things I do that get
my wife angry but all I do at times like that is
apologise to her and talk things over. Marriage
is a sacrifice and you have to prepare for it.


What are the major reasons why you both
disagree?

Anita: We have very different views when it
comes to fashion, style and interior decoration.


How do you make up after a
misunderstanding?


Paul: I always apologise first, whether I am
wrong or not. I do not like to keep malice. I
would rather leave the scene of a heated
argument than continue talking and end up
bitter. I would return to talk things over, when
the environment is calm.

Anita: We usually laugh it off, but because I
trained as a lawyer, I always want to make
some very valid points.


What pet names do you call each other?
Anita: It is for our ears only.

Paul: She calls me Bulus and I have asked her
to stop it. I call her Hani‑— a fusion of Honey
and Anita.


How do you manage the fame and attention
that comes with your current status?

Anita: For a very long time, I tried to stay
away from the media. Our engagement and
wedding finally put a face to the name ‘Anita’.
When people ask if I am P-Square’s wife, I just
laugh and tell them I am Paul’s wife. At work,
I’m a regular employee until my husband
decides to surprise me during lunch and my
colleagues go crazy and take several
photographs. So far, I have managed being his
wife very well. I have my little group of friends
and still do everything I did before the P-
Square ‘takeover.’


What does Valentine mean to you and how
do you intend to celebrate the day?

Paul: For us, every day is Valentine’s Day
because we never fail to express our love for
each other every day. Today, I will simply
reassure her of my unflinching love and
support in more ways than one.
