Onyeka Onwenu passes on

Have you heard the news? The elegant stallion is dead. She crooned a song of unity titled: One love. She first came to limelight with her reportage on the despoiled environment in the Niger Delta due to reckless oil drilling activities by the IOCs in the late 70s. She was also an ardent advocate for good governance in Nigeria.

I met her once at the Abuja Airport. I came to understand why people called her the elegant stallion. She was tall, beautiful and brilliant. May the Hand of God be upon her children and the rest of her family for good, for peace and comfort at a time like this.

One thought on “Onyeka Onwenu passes on

  1. Nigeria has lost a great Amazon. She will for ever be remembered for her good songs. We take solace in the fact that she died rather peacefully and without prolonged illness. She sang her last in a party where she slumped and later died. May God rest her soul. She has done her best while on earth. Rest in peace our dear Onyeka
