“How Tyna Onwudiwe Made Me Who I Am Today” – Charlie Boy Shares Life Experience


“I will never forget Tyna Onwudiwe. While in the village, after my return from overseas, I refused to work although jobs were provided for me. I told my parents that I knew what I wanted.

I wanted to become Charlie Boy. I became Charlie Boy to tell the timid and myopic Nigerians that you have the right to be what you want to be, and that one must not follow only a ‘zombie’ way of thinking and doing things.  Everybody cannot be the same and everybody can’t follow the same way.  You can’t say I am crazy because I wear this, except you too are crazy.

“When in the village for seven years after I returned from America, I insisted that I was going to play music. I told my parents and calmly accepted to go my way when they told me to do so.  It was Tyna who came to rescue me from the village to Lagos. I liked her because she was like a perfect woman.  She encouraged me that I was going to succeed in my venture. There were many people who saw her as a mad woman.  This was the only woman that would spend her last kobo on somebody else. Tyna didn’t want me to waste away in the village, so, she tricked me to Lagos that a recording company was going to wax my music. I was shocked that she had prepared an accommodation for me, with one year rent already paid for. If not for her I would have languished in jail. Man is a God to another man.”

Chei, Tina Onwudiwe, the immortal African Oyinbo. It's been a very long time. The grave has no respect for even legends and beauties. It's a surprise that nobody remembers this exceptional lady today in the craze for Davido, Tuface, Wizkid, Tiwa, Simi and the lot. These new crop musicians aren't doing enough to remember the legacies of their predecessors. They should know that in a decade or two new musicians will come up and they might be eclipsed. The cooking pot for the lizard is the cooking pot for the chameleon. What they do or didnt do today will come back to haunt them. It's called karma. Tina Onwudiwe rest well!!

Some of her "Black on Black" lyrics sang in 1991 are still very true today. How sad.

"How many years that Africa has been free,
take a look around you and see,
Brothers killing brothers,
Children fighting wars,
starvation and poverty are still knocking at our doors,........"

Cancer is a very dangerous thing - It killed both Femi Segun and Tina Onwudiwe. See how they were looking healthy in the NTA morning ride show without knowing that the deadly disease will kill both of them.

First time I saw this woman's music video was sometime in the very early 1990's. Impression i had was of one wild looking woman...who probably smoked heavily, and drank and was very weird. (Funny thoughts of an 11 year old).

I remember when several years later it was announced she had lung cancer...and then she passed on in South Africa. It was mentioned in the obits that she was a non-smoker...

Never judge a book by its cover.

Good to see some of our old stars back in the limelight. I doubt anyone below the age of 35 remembers her now.....
