Veteran actress and singer Onyeka Onwenu on Saturday marked her 70th birthday.
The Conspiracy actress uploaded a photo of her birthday cake on Instagram.
Thanking God for another year, she wrote: “To God I give all the glory for my life, family friends and associates. May God bless us and keep us. Be blessed.”
Fellow veteran Clarion Chukwura celebrated Onyeka in an Instagram post.
“Happy 70th birthday, elegant stallion and music legend of our time. Sis Onyeka Onwenu. Age with greater grace. We love you,” she wrote.
Onwenu began her music career in 1981 while still working with the Nigerian Television Authority (NTA), releasing the album For the Love of You, a pop album which featured an orchestral cover of Johnny Nash’s ‘Hold Me Tight’, and her second album Endless Life was produced by Sonny Okosun. Both records were released on the EMI label.
She has starred in several movies like Womens’ Cot, Every Single Day, The Tyrant, Chain Reactions, Omalinze, Half of a Yellow Sun, Lionheart, Muna, and others.
