Award-winning singer Peter Okoye has reacted to the criticisms he received over change of his birthday date.
Newsunplug reported that the singer, who is no longer on good terms with his twin brother, announced on Twitter that he was officially changing his birthday to separate himself from his twin.
In another tweet, Peter announced that November 30th is his new birthday, not November 18th. The singer said it is a personal decision and he appreciates the public for understanding.
His tweet didn’t sit well with netizens, who dragged him.
Responding to critics on Twitter, he questioned why they were so pained and outraged that he cancelled Christmas. He noted that many are still debating the birthday of Jesus Christ.
Peter further questioned why people were crying more than the bereaved and noted how it is causing more pain to many than Nigeria’s real problems. He made it known that their insults don’t move him.
“Una dey vex like say I cancel Christmas?
Na my birthday date I move… no be your own, why e dey pain you?
Even Jesus Christ December 25th date sef, people still dey debate am
Why cry more than the bereaved? Only in Nigeria.
Funny how my birthday date shift is causing more pain than Nigeria’s real problems
Just for the record: Insult no dey reduce success.
Who don make am, don make am! Know that and know peace”.
