But I get a clear view of her trademark tattoos. Elaborate, colourful images extend all the way up both arms. Closer inspection reveals characters and scenes from the Bible.

"I've got images from the entire liturgical year," she says, pointing to her left arm. "There's the Angel Gabriel, Elizabeth and Zacharias for Advent, the creche scene for Christmas, Jesus in the desert for Lent, Good Friday and the crucifixion, the angel and the women at the empty tomb for Easter and Mary and the Apostles with flames on their heads for Pentecost."

You and your brother started P-Square during an era when pop culture wasn’t so popular in Nigeria. How did you pull through to create the phenomenon that you are?

For us, it was all about the love of music. Music was something we loved doing. All we wanted was not just for people to listen to P-Square, but for people to start listening to Nigerian music too. And we did this by incorporating it with what the Western world was doing.

It is often said that touching the lives of children and shaping them accordingly for good is no doubt the way to go in creating a future of bliss and rapid growth for the benefit of all.
