Peter Okoye’s fee to perform at any event
runs into millions of naira. Incidentally, for a paltry sum of N8, 000,
the second half of the P Square group performed for a huge crowd during
his wedding.
Comedian, Gbenga Adeyinka, was in his elements and he was the person who caused Peter to perform for that amount.
Adeyinka reminded the audience how the
twin brothers came to Lagos in a night bus and how they used to perform
for N7, 500. He then offered Peter N8, 000 and asked him to perform.
Adeyinka said, “Back then when P-square
came to Lagos, they were paid N7, 500 to perform and both of them would
not only sing but also break dance and sweat profusely for N7, 500. This
is N8, 000, Peter should come and perform for us. He should dance
harder because the N7, 500 was for the two of them but this N8, 000 is
just for Peter.”
The groom didn’t hesitate, he took up the challenge and he did it well to the amazement of the crowd that attended his wedding.
Forgetting that he just arrived from
Ghana where he went for a show, the singer performed his Personally hit
track and his dancers even joined him on the stage.
Gbenga Adeyinka wasn’t done. The next on his ‘hit’ list was the Kukere master, Inyanya.
The singer who has raked in well over N100m in just a few months had to perform for a ridiculous amount of N1, 000!
Adeyinka said, “When Inyanya started
singing even before Project Fame, I don’t even need to ask him how much
he used to collect. I know it was not more than N750. Here is N1, 000,
come and perform for me especially that Kukere song you do and whine
your waist,”
Footballer, Emmanuel Adebayor was also
put on the hot seat by the comedy merchant. The comedian first wanted
him to joggle a ball but since none was near, he was made to speak
Yoruba and dance. He opted to dance the skelewu dance which he pulled
off to an extent.
