Twitter users weren’t having it when a lady identified as @tharealmaj says misogyny is the reason Fela is more celebrated than Onyeka Onwenu.

“It’s misogyny that allows y’all to celebrate Fela more than Onyeka Onwenu,” she tweeted.

However, as seen in the reactions to the post, many seems to disagree with her opinion. Others implied that her tweet was for attention.

See A User’s Reaction:

“Simply put, he has music that crossed the borders of Nigeria and he has a better story.

“Not everything is misogyny. His life, challenges, activism, all made him a legend even while alive.

“Even Onyeka wouldn’t consider herself Fela. She couldn’t sacrifice the things he did!”

When onyeka is arrested over 200 times, her mother thrown down stairs, beating on stage on several occasions, performed with broken bones and still called them out and got beaten again, etc, we wl have this debate. Until then stay muted✊

LMAO.
Epic fail.
Misogyny is not a word to throw around just because a man is getting more acclaim in a particular field than a woman. And of all the people, FELA? Smh.
Eeeishhh, you people would soon make that word as good as useless.
Rest.
Reboot.
Retweet.
