Be careful of what you live for posterity. If you can't give your best, don't step out because what you recorded is always going to be there for long… - Onyeka Onwenu
" "Be careful of what you live for posterity. If you can't give your best, don't step out because what you recorded is always going to be there for long, so you got to give it the very best. Center your artistry around something that will last with meaning, not just shaking bumbum and it's just the women that are always shaking it, the men don't shake anything. Women are worth more than shaking their bumbum. Enough of the bumbum. Though, everyone is free to be creative, but just know that yours will not last while the other person with meaningful lyrics will remain evergreen.

Additional quotes by Onyeka Onwenu
When people ask me, 'what is it that you have,' I tell them it is contentment. My spirit as a Christian fills me in with contentment. We are here for a purpose. Find that purpose and work towards realizing it. The challenges will come. I mean you can't run away from them. In life there must be issues. It is only when you're six feet deep that you don't get them anymore. If you can put all that together and put your faith and trust in God who sent you here, you're fulfilled.
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.
