This is very sad, an elegant and intelligent woman. I remember when I was in Maryland and used stroll past her house near Ayola White. King Sunny Ade was a regular visitor then. RIP to her

Another IPOB woman has dropped death ....

She was a legend to her IPOB people in the east ...thank to Lagos whete she came and make name for herself ...all these people from.the eastern know that Yoruba people has been behind their success story ....if you doubt me....Tell me one musician in ths east who never come to Lagos before he or she makes names for herself...yet , the hatred of these people persist towards Yoruba people....

In the 90s She collaborated with Sunny Ade. ( Yoruba Musician for her to remain in vogue ....yet King Sunny Ade is still in vogue till date but her own fame has fizzle in the air ....
More importantly, she like Yoruba THING
Mumu man

Apart from her collabo with your so called Sunny Ade I don't even know any song lyrics by the aforementioned Sunny Ade so keep quiet.

The Lagos you are talking about is not even where you are from, why don't you use your Ogbomosho you are from and give example.

That's why all of una jam-packed for Lagos and refused to go back to your pit toilet osun and Ogun to build houses.

Always bragging about a state you are not from. The real lagosians don't even talk about Lagos like you mentally deranged F..O..O..L..S.

the country has gone through a lot since tinubu came in.I think he is a bad omen
Obirodent miscreant spotted, always blaming others for their own miseries. Loser!
If nothing meaningful in your empty skull, sympathise with the dead and move on.
Re: Onyeka Onwenu Dies At 72 by Prenonjebose: 7:31am On Jul 31, 2024
So sad. She was an elegant woman with a beautiful smile. Highly talented. Very urban with delicate features. Her voice was very melodious. She performed for many years entertaining State House dignitaries including foreign heads of state, Nigerian heads of state and presidents. She was the star attraction in those state dinners.
Nothing lasts forever. Everyone's time would be up one day. RIP Onyeka Onwenu.

Madawolohun o,
Let them say,
Jeje life na im we want.

Ehen, that song! There was a time that I was searching for it and I think I found it.

Many people don't know that that's where it all began. Let's see if I can find it. I want it to be the first song I post.
naptu2:
OH MY GOD, JUST LISTEN TO THAT BASSLINE!

I have always been crazy about the bassline at the beginning of the song.

Bro despite Onyeka is a kinsmen or kinswomen to me by descent I strongly agreed with your submission and this is why I will never hate the Yorubas. Bro I'm not an ingrate or a bastard, my dad told us after the civil war it was only the Yoruba people that opened their land and accepted the Igbos with love no other region did so and for this singular act I wwil forever love Yoruba people. FACT!!!

In addition, I was born to igbo family in Ondo state in Akure Army Barrack where my dad served as a millitry officer, grew up there then Ibadan then Lagos then Enugu back to Lagos then Kaduna and so on as millitary son and till date I have never experience any hatred from Yoruba nor Hausa neither Edo or Ijaw, I have so many friends we grew together pls tell me why should I suddenly hate Yoruba who have done nothing wrong to me Just because I want to please Kanu or obi idiot? Sorry I will never ever hate Yoruba. My people hate me for this my tough stand and I don't give a
f u c k bro, I love my friends with passion regardless their tribe or region, they are my friends and family.

Onyeka REST IN PEACE! I love you so much ma.

Haters of humanity if my post annoys you kindly kill yourself because I know they will soon be here to attack me, I give no f u c k.

Re: Onyeka Onwenu Dies At 72 by themanderon: 7:52am On Jul 31, 2024
Woooow ...Na waoooo. The south east has lost a lot of prominent and well-loved people over the past few days. Iwuanyanwu, Ifeanyi Ubah and now the evergreen Onyeka.
Rip to the songstress.
