This woman right here lived a very good and impactful life till the very end. We shouldn't mourn her but instead celebrate a life well lived. I'm grateful to have read your book " My Father's Daughter " while you were here. Thank you for sharing your beautiful life with us. Rest in Power Onyeka Onwenu
Upon hearing the shocking news of her passing, I came here to pay my last respects to this icon of hope, and trailblazer, who helped form my taste for African music. Rest in peace Ms. Onwenu. You were a true legend.🕊️.
Yes you are right. When nta 2 channel 5 (Your reach out station) was the number one station in Lagos and Nigeria. Through channel 5, we were able to watch Robinhood, superforce, bright spark, Voltron, Sledge hammer, chucklehound, rentaghost, Jimbo and worldwide wrestling, I just wonder what people outside of Lagos at that time were watching.
Onyeka was an accomplished Nigerian in all her specializations:, journalism, music, film, activism, and public service, to mention the obvious. A woman who was proud of her heritage and an inexhaustible gift of nature. Growing up, I would sprint to the television or increase the volume of the stereo whenever her songs were being played. Even till the very last moments, she exuded grace, splendor, camaraderie, and vivacity. Sometimes we don't celebrate our heroes and heroines enough until their absence suffices. Find rest in the afterlife as your legacy endures, Ma'am. One love...
Onyeka Onwenu was my crush as a teenager -- I was madly in love with her. She is still a class act, an Igbo's daughter to the utmost. May she continue to live for us, her people.
Funny enough modern Nigerian musicians have nothing to offer compare to Legends her and her contemporaries. To me what they sing is all trash for the waste bin
Oh my God,...how did we get here in Nigeria? Nigeria was so sweet as a little girl, back then, i always run back home to watch this on national tv most sundays but today, our national stations are dead, even the digital television have nothing to offer.....I truly miss my childhood and all it's fun.
The modulation at 2:19 was just so perfect. The instrumentalists were way ahead of their era. I've always loved that modulation and looked forward to it every time I listen to this timeless classic. keep resting in peace mama. ✝️ 🕊
A young Onyeka Owenu was incredibly beautiful though, with a smile as sly as a fox, exuding so much positive energy as she sings. A Nigerian jewel she is.
I came here to pay my last respect to you. You were an activist, a beautiful soul, an exceptional artiste, and a woman who love and fought for the freedom of the people. I love you, rest in peace Icon.
😭All nigerians should listen to this song again. These were the times life was fair in this country. In this tumoltuous time in our history the true patriotism within our genes is reverberated again. We've let greed consume our heart. How do we move forward as a nation when the burden of greed and decadence has engulfed our entire psychology and culture😞😟 ##endbadgovernance #nigeriaisoncpr
I will always remember how happy my mom used to be while singing This song historical fiction.. I'll never forget you. Thank you so much for putting an unending smile on my mom's face ❤
Oh God... We have lost the values of our culture. Watching this song again after two decades made me recognize the heritage we lost to the Western culture. Onyeka sang english language in a igbo costume. The blend is so kool. Live long Queen !!!!!
RIP Legend, thank you for blessing my childhood great songs like this, I am Yoruba but I know this lyrics word for word, even though I don't know what it means
came after the news of her passing. Is like she wrote and sang this song for her transition and tribute. "i am missing you, ...i am leaving.... why don't you stay...this moment you are happy, the next minute you are so sad" "Onyeka....". what a sweet sad song. A happy celebration song yet a sad reflectory(reflectiion) song. She even asked " do love me?". I love you and i want you to stay but God wants you. Noow am missing you, crying! "Iyele!"
Nostalgia at its peak!!!! Anytime I think of Onyeka Onwenu, this is the song that always come to mind thanks to NTA 2 Channel 5. Iyogogo has this very deep, emotional feel that I cant explain till date.. Rest well Queen, thanks for the childhood memories.😢🕊️
I danced to this song in my primary school...those days where we could afford everything... Eating three square meal was not a big deal ..where as children we could visit your neighbours and friends, okay with their children and listen to folktales...Good old days indeed....Im just so nostalgic
RIP. Ms Onyeka. No forty something year old person that lived in Lagos that does not like this song regardless of tribe because of NTA 2 Channel. I miss my childhood
Elegant stallion, Iconic songster; Astute human rights activist; If boldness, courage and grace was a woman. They said it's a man's world but you came, reigned and carved your niche. Thank you for blazing the trail.. One love..🎉 Rest in power queen❤
I’m Lucky to be among the generations that listened and heard her Music radiating from the Radio and Television booming with fun-fare and pleasant memories
Who else is here watching the video of one her iconic songs this 2024 after hearing the sad news about her passing. All I know is that she lives on through her iconic songs, legends don't die, they are immortal 🙏🙏❤👍.
I felt like a child listening to this song. This is indeed a classic. I remembered my late dad always playing this song when i was a child. God bless you ma.
Loolo Onyeka...Thank you for all that you have done in the lives of many through your music. You are certainly one of the people that inspire me and make me proud to be IGBO...God bless from Australia
If I recall correctly, there was a time they played this song a lot after school hours on channel 5 Lagos, and I never got tired watching it. How I miss those good old days as a kid. Those of us who appreciate your gift, passion, and the heart you poured into everything you did will truly miss you. Sad the country is so far from the “one love” and “peace” you sang about 😢. May your memory be blessed. We love you 💙
Wow! Growing up in Festac in the 8os and early 90s, was amazing. This song defines everything. NTA Channel 5, VI was everything. Where id we . Voltron, SESEME STREET, Ovide and the Gang, Danger Mouse, Atom Ant, Doctor Who, etc was everything. God, where did we get it wrong Nigeria???? How can we get that .societal stability and sanity???? I saw FESTAC as London back in the 80s and 90s. Where did we get it wrong as a Nation?????????
Her style so much reminds me of the GREAT MARIAM MAKEBA.. I grew up listening to her LOVE N’ WAN TI TI. song..Even when we started making fun of people who were infatuated with each other, we sang this song just to poke fun at them.. May you rest in peace MA.
This is one of my favourite songs of this great stallion and nightingale.....I have not been myself after getting the sad news of her demise. Adieu great Amazon. I love you 😍 ❤
I have came to know her for the first time after the announcement of her passing and immediately done my research. She was indeed a remarkable woman. May her soul rest in peace.❤️🥰

My husband just said the same thing😢
Exactly what I said 😢 I WISH THE HANDS OF TIME CAN BE TAKEN 20 YEARS BACK
Old memories
Nostalgia 😢
Funny enough modern Nigerian musicians have nothing to offer compare to Legends her and her contemporaries. To me what they sing is all trash for the waste bin
I must marry an elegant classy lady like her
ME TOO
