Additional quotes by Onyeka Onwenu

She knew that I had followed the family tradition by going to school, she encouraged me to not forget the artistic side of it. There was a rule in my house that when you had done your Masters, and only after that, get your education first.

NTA used 'Iyi Ogogo' to open and close their station for eight years, but they didn't pay me a kobo. They didn't even ask my permission. When I asked, they barred me from being shown on NTA and I went on hunger strike. They felt they were doing me a favour by using my music. Ben Bruce said 'Don't touch that lady. I don't want to see her face, I don't want to hear her music on my station'. And I said no, it wasn't his station, that NTA belonged to the nation. This was in 2000.
