### Henry Okoye's Revelations

Henry Okoye, the eldest brother of the defunct music duo P-Square, has made some explosive claims about his family's dynamics. In an interview with social commentator Jos Connection, Henry revealed that their late mum, Josephine Okoye, wanted him, not Jude, to manage the musicians.

P-Square's Early Days

Henry said that when P-Square – comprising Peter and Paul – started their music journey, they were looking for sponsors but couldn't find any. At that time, Jude was not involved in the duo's management. Henry, being the elder brother, took it upon himself to sponsor the duo, even using his car to distribute flyers during their performances. He also took them to meet Benson & Hedges, a prominent music company that eventually became their sponsor.

Family Ties That Bind... and Tear Apart

Henry's sister, Lilian, would often collect the gate fees during their performances, while Henry himself acted as the bodyguard. As the duo started making money, Jude intervened and said he wanted to manage them. However, their mother, Josephine, disagreed with Jude's plans. She had made it clear that Henry, not Jude, should manage the duo.

The Rift That Never Healed

The siblings had promised Henry 20% of their earnings when they started making money, but Jude intervened and dismissed the arrangement. Henry felt betrayed and challenged Jude, pointing out that he wasn't there when they started everything. This tension ultimately led to the duo's split in 2017, with a brief reunion in 2021 that didn't last long.

The Unreconciled Rift

Henry expressed doubts about the possibility of P-Square reuniting, citing Paul's change in behaviour as a major reason. He urged Jude to help restore the family to its former state by settling their disagreements. In a surprising twist, Henry revealed that their eldest brother, Christopher, does not want to be involved in the dispute as he is "born again".
