On T. Y. Danjuma’s Statement

T. Y. Danjuma’s statement opens up the Biafra conversation and the action taken by the gallant and fearless General Chukwuemeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu in defense of his people. Danjuma was on the other side, and now, he seems to have regained his sight to see what Ojukwu saw in the 1960s. Folks, share your thoughts. - CAO

On the Death of Canon Timothy Brosnan

On the Death of Rev. Canon Timothy Brosnan.

What a loss! Canon Brosnan was a faithful servant of God who loved and cared for the Church via his ministry and charisma. I relieved him of the pastoral duty at St. Gerard Parish, Bellshill, Scotland (Catholic Diocese of Motherwell) as a Summer Supply Priest during my postgraduate studies at the Catholic University of Louvain, Belgium in 2006. He was a humble priest who lived exemplary life. Now that he has left us, it is our duty to love him, keep his legacy, and also remember him in our prayers. I miss him and so shall parishioners miss him, including Martin Rea and Family. May Canon (Msgr.) Brosnan rest in peace! Kanon (Mons.) Brosnan, zuo ike na ndokwa!! Padre Brosnan, adieu!!!

On the Death of Ekwulumili Six Siblings

The death of Ekwulumili Six Siblings has shown the mystery of life -- that six siblings could die in one day. It leaves much conversation on the nature of such death. The law enforcement agencies and community leaders should liaise in a synergy to get at the roots of such death. One of the ways to arrive at such collaboration is by having autopsy report from medical authorities and also convening a body of inquiry into remote and proximate factors leading to the so-called meals that brought about the death of these six siblings. Conspiracy theory at this time is like putting the cart before the horse. If adequate inquiry was made, great opportunities beckon on having reliable, factual and truthful results. Again, a pastoral approach to the situation is a valid means to helping the parents of these deceased six children. The death of Ekwulumili Six Siblings is a national disaster and the government of the day should see is so by all the deserved attention. Our hearts and prayers go out to the parents of the deceased children whose lives were cut short by such untimely death. May they rest in peace, Amen.

Prayer for the Departed

I thank God in all my remembrance of you,
Always in every prayer of mine for you,
Thankful for your faith, hope and love.

I am sure that God who began a good work in you,
Has brought it to a completion,
All to his glory and praise.

While you were here with us,
You loved God and resigned to his will,
Even in all situations.

You proved yourself a good Christian,
Now that you have gone back to God,
Your legacies are here with us.

Legacies of good faith and good action,
Good faith and good action are your legacies,
And now, a worthy Celebration of you.

Jee nke oma! Fare thee well!! Adieu!!!
