He said:
“I can’t explain it. You know if they give you the news of a loved one, that you know has to do with your life, and also your work, and she’s not just an ordinary woman, she’s someone who will sit down with you and she used to say ‘can I chip in some advice?’ and the advice is always very correct.”Speaking further, King Sunny Ade shared a bit about his working relationship with the deceased. He noted that Onwenu usually chipped in more work than him when they had a project together.
In his words:
“When it comes to music that two people have to do together, she used to do more than I do. She would just tap me and say ‘Sunny, don’t worry, let’s take it this way, and it’s always good.”“There are many things that will always remind me of her. The few I can say now is like when it comes to a request from far away that has to do with music, she’s the first person to say, ‘this thing, we must do it, Sunny, let’s do it. You know this work we want to do is not only for two of us, not only for the nation, but for the whole world.”See the emotional video below:
