I think someone has just gone into his dictionary and discovered what the term stallion means.
Ekenyerengozi Michael Chima wants the press and Nigerians to start referring to Onyeka Onwenu as an Elegant Diva or Songstress and not Elegant Stallion, saying a stallion means a male horse. I am sure Onyeka Onwenu is educated enough to know what the actual word stallion means.She is also savvy enough to understand that she is not referred to as a stallion in literary terms.She got the name in her younger days because she was an epitome
of elegance and sexual fantasy to most men.Why is Ekenyerengozi Michael Chima taking panadol for another woman's headache? In trying to be nice to Miss Onwenu,he has inadvertently called her a person who is not smart enough to know the meaning of her nick name.Trust me Miss Onyeka Onwenu knows what she is and what that term stood for! Where was he the 30 years or so Onyeka had been called an Elegant Stallion?
Here’s what he wrote;
For decades since our days at the Nigeria Television Authority (NTA) to date, I have been hearing and reading members of the Nigerian press and entertainment industry calling Nigerian music diva Onyeka Onwenu, the "Elegant Stallion" and she always seemed to have agreed and nodded in approval.
How could she accept such an insult when she knows what a stallion is? A Stallion is a male horse that has not been gelded (castrated). Stallion is also a male who is able to conduct sexual intercourse for hours on end. Calling any woman a stallion, elegant or not is an insult and not a compliment.
A prominent Nigerian actor made the same mistake live on stage at the much publicized Showbiz Interactive with former President Goodluck Jonathan on March 15, 2015 at the Eko Hotel & Suites on Victoria Island, Lagos. And she still did not correct him.
The erroneous description is now in her biographical profiles in the encyclopedia and Wikipedia!
Please, Onyeka Onwenu is not an elegant stallion. You can call her elegant diva or elegant songstress.
By Ekenyerengozi Michael Chima
My conclusion...
Now what he could have said was,the term Elegant Stallion was appropriate to Onyeka as a younger woman,but now we should elevate her to something else.That i can deal with.But not come here and try to educate us because you have just discovered what the term stallion means and insult all our intelligence!
Here's to Miss Onyeka Onwenu,our for ever elegant stallion!
