Ndi Igbo Will Never Accept Defeat - Veteran Singer, Onyeka Onwenu Speaks Out

 

While speaking at the launch of “The Land of my Birth,” a book written by Abraham Nnadi in Lagos recently, veteran singer and woman activist, Onyeka Onwenu, has called upon the Igbo race never to accept defeat of any kind as they remain survivals during and after the civil war, adding that they should rather rise up and move forward.

 

According to Vanguard, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), stalwart and actress  said that apart from the book provoking a nostalgia feeling for those of them who witnessed the war, the book was of particular interest to Ndigbo. 

 

She said: “Land of my Birth is a book that provokes nostalgia feelings. As a people, we read about ourselves, what we went through during the civil war and thereafter. 

 

The former Executive Director, National Centre for Women Development also called for a female president in Nigeria. She said women if given the opportunity can heal and nurture the world.
