Popular veteran singer, Onyeka Onwenu, has opened up on her failed marriage and how she single-handedly raised her children.
The 70-year-old music icon who got married to a Yoruba Muslim man in 1984, shared her experience during an interview with media personality
According to her,she said didn’t want to divorce her husband but if she didn’t end their marriage at the time she did, it would have killed her.
Her words:
“I went through it, it was difficult because I really want my marriage to end but I couldn’t didn’t take it anymore, it would have killed me. I always say that is the truth 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 master’s degree. My husband didn’t pay school fees for one day, didn’t buy clothes, didn’t pay for holidays, didn’t give me housekeeping money but he was a nice and kind and generous man and basically, there was control where if you didn’t do the things he wanted, ‘well I’m not going to help you, I’m not going to give you money and I would like to say this to Nigerians, any man who has children, has a family and decides not to take care of them, you’ll have to answer to God.”
Thank you for some other informative website. Where else could I get that kind
of information written in such a perfect means? I have a project that I’m
simply now working on, and I have been on the look out for such information.
