I’m consistent.
I’m disciplined.
I’m becoming better daily.
I trust God’s timing.
I believe in the process.
I’m allowed to grow at my own pace.
This account is a reminder to keep showing up ✨⚽️❤️
Some seasons test us in ways words cannot fully express. Through it all, we lean on God’s unfailing love and mercy, one day at a time. May Heaven continue to keep us all until we meet at Jesus’ feet. Amen. 🙏🏾
Media Framing of Crime Along Ethnic Lines: Divisive.
As an Igbo man, I have endured stereotypes, judgment, and labelling solely based on my ethnic origins. This is not an isolated Igbo experience. Most Nigerians have, at some point, been reduced to their ethnicity rather than recognised for their true character.
I understand the pain of the ordinary Fulani man today, often unfairly judged by the actions of criminals he does not support, has never met, and who are not representative of his people.
Even in America, such unjust labelling fueled the civil rights movement and prompted Martin Luther King Jr. to declare that people should be judged by the content of their character, not the colour of their skin.
Every Nigerian ethnic group is known for its unique traditions, occupations, skills, and strengths. Crime, however, has no ethnicity. A thief is a thief. A terrorist is a terrorist. A kidnapper is a kidnapper. They are bad actors, not representatives of any people. They must be identified, arrested, and punished according to the law.
We must decisively abandon the dangerous practice of blaming entire ethnic groups for the actions of a few criminals. It is unjust, it breeds hatred, and it damages our national unity.
Let us proudly celebrate our diverse cultures, talents, and contributions, rather than falling prey to stereotypes and prejudices that politicians and divisive interests exploit for their gain.
A new Nigeria must emerge—one where no citizen is condemned because of tribe, religion, or birthplace. We can cherish our cultural roots while standing united by justice, mutual respect, and hope for a better future. We are capable of this.
A new Nigeria is within our reach. -PO
During the ordination of 18 new priests for Opus Dei last Saturday at the Basilica of St. Eugene in Rome, the choir sang the Igbo offertory hymn - “Anyi ario gi”
Their performance reflects weeks of rehearsals, and they did a great job.
Among the 18 new priests from 12 countries, 4 hail from Nigeria.
Prayer to Saint Rita for Impossible Cases
O powerful Saint Rita, rightly called the Saint of the Impossible, I come to you with confidence in my great need.
You know well my trials, for your own life was filled with many heartaches. Help me now, I beg you, and speak for me before the throne of God.
Obtain for me the favor I so urgently desire:(Mention your specific request here)
Help me to bear my crosses with patience, to forgive those who hurt me, and to trust always in God's holy will.
Amen.
