" "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.

Additional quotes by Onyeka Onwenu
I have great admiration for market women. The incredible thing that we don't know is that they are holding up a large sector of the economy of this country. These women that sell tomatoes, pepper, onions; that is how they raise their children. That is how they train their children up to university level. That is how they hold their families together.
