Veteran female celebrities at war

Veteran female celebrities in Nigeria, Onyeka Onwenu and Patience Ozokwor are currently on a war path following the battle over the Jonathan Goodluck's presidential campaign funds for artists.

Allegations of the veteran celebrities not on speaking terms and shunning each other at public functions had been renting the air since the women tried outwitting themselves in getting the better part of the outgoing president's heart.

According to a report in This Day, Onwenu, an established singer, broadcaster, actor and Director General, National Women Centre had made it her business to ensure that majority of creative practitioners and supporters channel their request to see Jonathan and/or participate in his campaign through her but Ozokwor would not wait for her to call the shots.

Ozokwor, who was also honoured with MFR by the president, had found a way of getting into the Villa and meeting with the president without the assistance of Onwenu's ministry or person and this was said to have not gone down well with the singer.

Interestingly, the two were spotted at the Africa Magic Igbo launch in Enugu and both celebrities gave a performance to thrill the guests at the launch.

While Ozokwor had a performance with John Okafor aka Mr Ibu, Onwenu had her performance alongside Chidinma Ekile.
