Nigerian hip hop duo Skuki real names Tumininu Laolu-Oguniyi and Atewologun Laolu-Ogunniyi (Peeshaun and Vavavoom) are preparing for the lunch of their brand of condoms, called Peeshaun condom.
In a strategic bid to enlarge their entrepreneurial horizons, the two singers are set to launch the condom, a project that UNICEF (according to investigations) is sure interested in by way of partnership.
A source close to the crooners intimated that the condom named Peeshaun is already in the pipeline, undergoing registration, and it will be made public before the close of 2013.
Stories about their foray into condom manufacturing reeled in last year with the Osun-born singers saying, “We’re going into condom production because we believe hugely in family planning. Every day we come across children in the streets hawking when they are supposed to be in school.
“This actually means that if a couple can afford only one loaf of bread which can conveniently take care of two children. If they end up having five, they would have to share one loaf between the five instead of two. With this, we have malnourished children and infants that are not given the best attention that they should have.”
Currently on tour in South Africa, the duo confirmed the partnership with UNICEF, but declined to reveal the specific monetary figure allocated for the project. Although what they did reveal showed that they would be making the production in a Chinese company.
The brothers were both born in the early 1980s in Oyo State. The duo developed an interest in music shortly after they graduated from secondary school They separated to study in different universities – Tumi in Geography/Planning whilst Atewo studied Law.
