OnyekaOnwenu once publicly said about the COSON Chairman, Chief Tony Okoroji,
the celebrated former president of PMAN, respected author, nationalist and one
of Africa’s foremost experts on Intellectual Property rights. This was before
Ms. Onwenu got gripped with hatred and began a defamatory campaign against her
brother and professional colleague.
“He is someone who is
very staunch and when he believes in something he gives it more than one
hundred percent. I don’t really believe that Nigeria has given him his due, not
at all. I believe that he should be given a national honour of the highest
order. I believe that he cares a great deal about Nigeria, has sacrificed for
Nigeria and has been a way pointer for Nigeria in the music industry. In the
area of copyright, he is in the frontline and has made one of the biggest
contributions any individual could make to the copyright regime. We are taking
him for granted. I believe that he has sacrificed his life for the music
industry in Nigeria. We have not given him his dues….People like Tony Okoroji
will spend sleepless nights, sacrifice their families and go and write the
laws, copyright laws that are being recognized to be one of the best in the
world. That says a lot” – OnyekaOnwenu (captured on video)
