{{The brothers Peter and Paul Okoye and their other siblings lost their mother Josephine Okoye who was in her 60\u2019s on Wednesday, 11th July 2012 due to some prolonged heart illness.}}<\/p>\n
Close friends to the Okoye family say that Josephine Okoye was first admitted in St. Nicholas Hospital in Lagos but her health state wasn\u2019t improving. <\/p>\n
She was then taken to India where she released her last breath five hours after her heart surgery in Apollo hospital (India).<\/p>\n
Josephine\u2019s death was a shock to many; friends and fans to the P Square and family sent condolences and sympathy messages to the Okoyes.<\/p>\n
Their mother was a good parent and their biggest fan. She almost never missed their shows until late 2011 where she started feeling weak due to her illness. <\/p>\n
\u201cYou know that she was a prayer warrior, so I don\u2019t need to tell you how she stood by us spiritually. Besides she was the only one that believed in us when we decided to make a career out of music. I can remember that she used to sneak out at night then to attend shows without the consent of our father who insisted that we must quit music to face our education\u201d peter recounts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
