I married a man I fell in love with in 1984,” she said. “We have two children: Tijani and Ibrahim. (Ibrahim later changed the first letter of his name from I to A, and thus became Abraham.) My husband is Yoruba, and was a Muslim when we met.”

The autobiography also documents her life as a musician, activist, wife, mother, and politician as well as her formative contact with feminism and and how her father’s life heavily influenced her decision to join politics is deftly explored.

The author shared how the war — between 1967 to 1970 — affected her life and her family.

Onyeka Onwenu memoir, ‘My Father’s Daughter’, is set to be released on the Ist of October 2020.

She also documents her years in America, the conflicts that were the products of being a migrant, her experience with workplace sexual harassment, and her decision to quit her job at the UN.

“On the marriage front, she explores challenges women face and how she refused to shrink herself to accommodate her husband’s insecurities about her fame,”

Expand Press Limited, her publishers, said while describing the book.“It’s a memoir young persons must read. Women especially will glean numerous lessons from her life experience since successful women in Nigeria rarely share their story in a candid manner.”

“I hope say next presidential election, we go nominate one person to support fully even if na independent candidate. We go run am like we did for Laycon and others, and even set up a go-fund me account to assist his presidential bid,” he wrote

Congratulations are currently reeling in for Nigerian pop star Yemi Alade who has been appointed a Goodwill Ambassador for the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP).

Alade was appointed and unveiled as UNDP’s latest Goodwill Ambassador by UNDP Administrator Achim Steiner on Wednesday, September 23, 2020.

Kicking off her new role as the COVID-19 pandemic surges around the world, the music star will help shine a spotlight on the disproportionate impact of the health and socio-economic crisis on the poorest and most vulnerable people, who are often
women, especially in developing nations.

Yemi Alade

Alade, who has consistently represented Africa and women’s right with her songs, will also promote women’s empowerment and gender equality.

Reacting to the development, the ‘Mama Africa’ crooner said the opportunity would help her draw attention of the public to issues affecting vulnerable women in developing nations like Nigeria.

“Women are among the 4 billion people who are trying to survive COVID-19 without any form of social protection,” Alade said in a video statement.

“I want to lend my voice to these women and other vulnerable people who make up half of the world that’s struggling to make ends meet. They don’t have the luxury of working from home and are putting their health at risk just to put food on the table.

…But as we address poverty and inequality in our COVID-19 recovery plans, we can’t put climate change on the back burner. Climate change and poverty go hand-in-hand, and neither is gender-neutral. Women in developing countries, such as my homeland Nigeria, are disproportionately affected by both.

Alade, 31, joins a roster of UNDP Goodwill Ambassadors, which includes celebrities such as actor Antonio Banderas and footballer Didier Drogba.

Alade has consistently represented Africa and women’s right with her songs.

The United Nations Development Programm is the United Nations’ global development network. Formed in 1965, the organization help countries eliminate poverty and achieve sustainable human development.
