In 2007, Onyeka was admitted into the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, to study Anthropology, but he dropped out mid way. However, the 26 year old Nigerian writer and filmmaker has been appointed a visiting lecturer of African Studies at the School of Modern Languages and Cultures, Faculty of Arts, at the University of Hong Kong.
Welcoming him, head of department, Dr. Marketa Moore said:
"Mr. Nwelue, it would be a great honour to have you as a guest lecturer in our Africa foundation course at the Hong Kong University. In this course we have over 40 students (mainly from Hong Kong but also a number of international students). They are very enthusiastic in learning more about Africa and African literature. It would be an excellent opportunity for them to have a chance to meet you and learn about your work."
