Kalu also commended Onwenu’s artistry in the movies, saying she is also a delight to watch.

He recalled that apart from her career in the arts, Onwenu also had a career in politics, having served as the chairperson of the Imo State Council for Arts and Culture and Director-General of the National Centre for Women Development.

Kalu expressed joy that Onwenu also got her flowers while on earth as she was honored for her contributions to Nigerian society, including being awarded the National Honors of Member of the Order of the Federal Republic (MFR).
