I remain inconsolable as Nigeria’s talented songstress, irresistible ” Onyeka” departs this sinful world leaving behind for us all the twin messages of love and forgiveness.
Onyeka was hugely talented and impactful. Perhaps, one of her enduring legacies for Nigeria and humanity is her hit song ” One love keep us together”
The song has made such a phenomenal impact on me so much that my class 81 of Ansar-Ud-Deen College Offa has adopted the mantra “One love” as its official motto.
The effect that the class now carry on as one indivisible family united by one love. This is the legacy of the great departed Onyeka in our popular consciousness.
It is the legacy worth recommending for the rest of Nigeria as we mourn this great Nigerian who was an all round talent – singer, journalist, writer and patriot extraordinaire.
To Onyeka, Nigeria was home. She was at home in every part of the country and loved / appreciated across the six geo- political zones without discrimination
