Onyeka Onwenu Recounts The Difficulties Faced In Her Marriage by LetDemKnow(m): 8:29pm On Feb 04, 2022


Nigerian veteran singer Onyeka Onwenu has opened up about the difficulties she faced in her failed marriage.

The music star made this known during a chat with Kikilomo Atanda-Owo on her show “Real Talk with Kike.”



She hammered on how much she tried to make her marriage work until she could no longer manage the situation.

““I went through it. It was difficult because I really didn’t want my marriage to end but I could not take it anymore. It would have killed me. I always say and that is the truth,” she said.

She also revealed that she singlehandedly raised her children from nursery school till they bagged their masters degree.

“And it was not good for the children to live in that kind of environment where the mother is depressed, the mother is carrying the weight of the whole family. I raised my children from kindergarten to Masters Degree,” she added.



Onwenu is a Nigerian singer/songwriter, actress, human rights activist, social activist, journalist and politician.

She recently released her book ‘My Father’s Daughter‘ which highlights her successful music career.

My role model in music. I sing like her. I just loved her from my childhood days when my dad used to blast her songs every weekend.

"Morning light"
Ekwe.. and hallelujah chimle. I still listen to them till date.

I also love the song she did with Sunny Ade. "Wait for me".

My dad's favorite songster those days.

Let's hear the man's part of the story..... please take note of the "she feels" in the attached picture... even if she does not carry out the action, the feeling is always there and most times the man feels that feeling she feels. The feeling of "worthlessness"... peace.

The husband must be a wicked,useless, heartless and ruthless man. Ever since she spoke about him, the ejiot has not come out to debunk nor deny the accusations that means the ejiot is as guilty as charged.

She used same scenario to act a sorrowful movie. Who have watched that movie? Idomie generation clear road

Divorce isn't always a good option, especially when life isnt threatened. When we hear the emotional stories of women like her as touching divorce, its also good to hear the husband's side too. Onyeka was always mingling with the big and mighty in her hay days, including IBB. She didn't need to secure any appointment to see them, as popular as she was back then. She was always the talk of the town. Something must have prompted the husband's decision on her marriage.

Marriage is not a do or die affair. If it’s hurting you, depression will set in and your children will be the ones to suffer.
