My dear brothers and sisters, I thank you for attending today's (Sunday, February 25, 2018) maiden and inuagural meeting of the NNEWI CATHOLIC DIOCESAN STUDENTS (NCDS), Uniport Chapter, at the Chaplaincy Hall of the Chapel of the Annunciation Catholic Chaplaincy, University of Port Harcourt, Rivers, Nigeria.

Through the NCDS, it is my hope of anchoring on the Christian faith and morals in helping all the members to attain their greater heights in self-renewal, academic excellence, spiritual rejuvenation, and enlightened self-reliance. It is our collective hope that the protem executive and all the members will be committed to achieving the aims and objectives of the NCDS.

On the Laudable Resignation of Bishop Peter Ebere Okpaleke as Bishop of Ahiara (Nigeria)

His Excellency Most Rev. Dr. Peter Ebere Okpaleke, the former Bishop of the Catholic Diocese of Ahiara (Nigeria) remains a model of holiness, obedience and humility. On many instances he was lauded by His Holiness Pope Francis for being an illustrious son of the Church. Bishop Okpaleke is a consummate administrator and a great shepherd in the mould of Our Lord Jesus Christ. Again, his inspiring homilies, counsels, and accomplishments have changed many lives and brought them back to the Lord’s fold. 

Bishop Okpaleke has manifested an exemplary pattern of life especially his matured and spirit-filled approach to the man-made crisis in the Catholic Diocese of Ahiara (Nigeria). Therefore, I join millions of well-meaning Catholics and non-Catholics in congratulating him on his laudable resignation from the pastoral duty as the Bishop of the Catholic Diocese of Ahiara (Nigeria).

Millions of testimonies abound of his sincere thoughts and proactive plans in serving God, the Church, and mankind as a humble and unassuming priest of God. We await God’s next assignment for him even as we continue to pray for his wellbeing and pastoral ministry. We thank God and may his name be glorified both now and forever, Amen.

On Ekwulumili and Leadership

Leadership is a spiritual vocation and it is not dependent upon what one has done or not done. Ekwulumili (EKM) major problem is assumption of leadership position based on economic or political resources. Leadership ought to emanate from popular acclamation gleaned from quality of character tested by ethics and values. The love of EKM begins with being proud of EKM, being available to EKM and sowing seeds of love and altruism in EKM. Everybody needs a soul searching for finding ways to move EKM forward especially strengthening cultural, constitutional and political beacons of our land. Again, prayer and good works will salvage EKM and present it as a town everyone will be proud of and work for its total transformation. I love and pray for EKM.
