She kept her boys away from prying eyes of the public.

The Great Onyeka Owenu. Rip ma'am

The elegant stallion with sonorous voice. A great RIP to an icon we will not forget in a hurry. Rest in the bosson of the LORD. She lived a life worthy of mention, bringing up two sons (men) without any noise.

Do you know by year 2110 everyone on earth will have passed away?, just an infinitesimal period of time compared to human existence.

Just live, enjoy the moments, make peace with humanity…and most importantly, be at peace with yourself…then take the bow 🙇

Her sons are answering their father's name. It could only mean that she was married to their father at some point. Onyeka was a terrific singer, and her song, 'one love' would have won a grammy if it was released by a western musician.

words fail me at this times, i am still in shock

😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

TheChameleon:


Are these the sons of the Yoruba Muslim ?

No wonder Igbo guys love insulting Yorubas.

The ladies seem to find the guys irresistible.

RIP, Onyewu. You had good taste. 👍

Ibrahim (changed his name to Abraham) and Tijani 👍

Are these the sons of the Yoruba Muslim ?

The freely educated one doesn't even know the meaning of stallion.

Now the mysyery husband she had will show up!!!

What a last and farewell performance

An awesome way to be remembered
