Onyeka Onwenu sues Iroking over unauthorized sale and exploitation of her music.

Veteran singer, Onyeka Onwenu, has filed a suit seeking N205 million in damages against music distribution platform, Iroking.

The singer had released a broadcast to the public on Sunday, January 14, 2018, in which she announced her plans to take the music distributors to court. She’s done it now.

IROKING is a free Nigerian music streaming service offering streaming of selected music from a range of African labels and artists. Its website platform was launched in December 2011 by iROKO Partners.

Known fondly as ‘the elegant stallion’ in Nigeria, Onwenu has also explained in detail, the reason why she is taking legal action against the company. 

According to Onyeka Onwenu, she is suing against the massive violation of her musical copyright dues and the illegal exploitation of her intellectual property.

Onyeka Onwenu began her music career in 1981 while still working with the NTA, releasing the album "For the Love of You". 

Originally a secular artist, she now sings mainly gospel music, and continues to write and sing about issues such as health (HIV/AIDS), peace and mutual coexistence, respect for 
women rights and the plight of children. 

Onyeka Onwenu's latest song titled, "Inspiration for Change," focuses on the need for an attitudinal turn around in Nigeria.
