In the dawn of Nigeria’s rising sun
A voice was born its journey begun
Onyeka Onwenu, a name that rings
With grace and power, her heart sings
Through the echoes of freedom's call
She stood tall, breaking every wall
In music, she found her soulful art
A melody of hope, a beating heart.
Her songs a tapestry of Nigeria’s soul
Told stories of love and the struggle to be whole
She sang of peace, unity, and more
Her voice a balm for wounds of war.
From "One Love" to "You and I"
Her lyrics touched both earth and sky
A beacon of strength in every chord
Her music a prayer her pen a sword.
Beyond the stage her light did spread
In film and TV where stories are fed
A screen goddess she played her part
With dignity and a generous heart.
Her activism a fierce flame
Fighting for justice never seeking fame
For women, for children she raised her voice
A tireless warrior making the choice.
Onyeka, a leader in council and song
Her journey continues ever so strong
A trailblazer in every sphere
Her legacy, cherished, far and near.
Through the passage of time her light endures
A symbol of Nigeria vibrant and pure
Onyeka Onwenu a name of pride
In her life and times we all confide.
