the message of the album while speaking at the commencement of the
tour, which has taken her to radio stations including Eko FM and Rhythm
in Lagos, and Kapital FM, Brilla, Aso FM, and Raypower in Abuja. She
noted, in an interaction with presenters at the two radio stations,
that Nigerians have the capacity to make the country a beautiful place
to live in.

‘Inspiration for Change.’

Ms Onwenu later
said she was very happy about the responses to her promotional tour so
far. She said of the stopovers at the two stations, “I was blown away
with what happened in the studio. We all danced to the song. It was
highlife at its best and modernised with rap and scintillating horns.”

She reiterated her
social message, encapsulated in ‘Nigeria@50’, a song she’s rendering
specially to commemorate the country’s golden jubilee.

“It seemed like all
our discussions about change in Nigeria – the need to support Nigerian
government and people in bringing about this change, all the optimism
about the greatness of Nigeria in spite of our self-inflicted wounds –
had whipped up a certain patriotism and pride in our country, Nigeria.
I am convinced that Nigerians are ready for this expected change. I am
excited,” she said.

Onwenu urged her fans and all Nigerians to be part of the wind of change.

“We are a beautiful people. We are blessed. We will change for the better, and we will make it,” she declared.
