I wear face mask sometimes to avoid recognition – Peter Okoye

Mr P has shared the challenges he faces as a celebrity stating that despite praying for fame, he now finds himself avoiding recognition.

In a candid interview with Naija FM, Mr P revealed that he often wears disguises, including facemasks, face caps, and sunglasses, to avoid being spotted when out in public or traveling.

He expressed nostalgia for the simple pleasures of life, like being able to stop at a roadside stall to buy hot akara or enjoying his favorite burger from ABC.

Mr P lamented that his celebrity status often prevents him from experiencing these everyday joys, and he sometimes has to rely on others to run errands for him.

He said: “Before, we used to pray for fame but now when I go out or when I travel I cover my face with a facemask, a face cap and even sunglasses to avoid being spotted.

“Back then we prayed so hard for this game but now at this point in my life where I have been in the industry for three decades I think it’s time to live my life.

“Most of us celebrities have parts of our lives that we don’t enjoy. There are some days that I’d be driving and I’d want to stop at the road side and buy food like hot akara but I’d have to send someone, to avoid being spotted. But by the time the person goes, buys the slats and gets back, it’s no longer hot. I miss being able to eat akara bread and co, ABC, that’s the best burger ever. I still like that life.”
