An irreparable lost by Comr. Arinze Okolobu

We missed you My Lord Bishop

Valeat Dominus Meus!!!

As we fondly call the Late Arch Bishop Albert Kanene Obiefuna, (My Lord) we children as pupils and Mass Servants can't forget your pious Aaronic lifestyle those days  when Tomapep Tin Tomatoes was in existence.

During your selfless service in the vineyard of Christ in Awka beanyi,  your service brought Divine Tranquillity & Peace in Awka.  Your pastoral engagements in St Patrick Cathedral Awka and the diocese made Pagans and Atheists to give their life to Christ then, i remembered vividly how you visits the Poor in their homes and give them food, how about many broken marriages you resuscitated, how about many indigents you gave scholarship, I can't forget how you kill Cows,  cook Jellof Rice for we Pupils then on every St Patrick Feast days.

I also remembered how you resolved various imbroglio in Awka like, OKUKO ONYE UWA, Land disputes between Communities, Building homes for the Poor, the Girl Child inequality etc. with nostalgia, you were truly a shadow of Jesus Christ while you served as Bishop in Awka.
Some of those you groomed then in the vineyard like Rev Peter Okpalaeke is today a Bishop.

What a legacy as GOD used you to erect Ragina Caeli Hospital, CANA House through CWO,  the foundation of St. Patrick's New Cathedral, Retreat Center Okpuno, various parishes etc. How about Late Rev Fr Aaron Ekwu you used to propagate the Acts of Charity  then, today those legacy you consolidated has lifted the diocese to greater heights irrespective of some Dogmatic challenges facing them today, i know if you were alive today, such misdemeanor must have metamorphosed to a peaceful reunion of the people and the Laity.

This is your 9th year you left this world, may the GOD of Creation, continue to bless you with divine Peace in the bosom of Christ.

We miss you (My Lord) Bishop Obiefuna, you are a Gift from Oraukwu, in Idemmili North to humanity and the Church.

We missed a Bishop, that does not segregate but carries Everyone along.

Reminisce from Awka

The Roman Catholic Church and their trending act worthy of citing: Read below;

The Catholic Church is trending on Twitter and here’s why

There are certain ideas many people have about the Catholic Church, but one of these ideas that are less talked about and not very visible are their numerous acts of kindness and impact on society. 

The Catholic Church, as we know it, is not like some regular churches, with steep protocols and conservative ideas, the Catholic Church has for hundreds of years, been at the forefront in aiding positive causes and issues.

The Federal Government recently announced that the Church (Catholic Mission) is donating all its 425 hospitals and clinics in Nigeria to the government as isolation centers to help in the fight against COVID-19. 

While the church has little or no social presence, a gesture as such can’t go unnoticed.

And of course, a gesture like this will always draw the attention of Nigerians, and while what the church has done is very laudable, many people will still find ways to air their views in contrast to what has been done. Some Twitter users commended the church but expectedly, others still hold contrary opinions to the kind gesture. There are quite a few other Christian groups who have supported the fight against the COVID-19, donating church auditoria, buildings and facilities to aid the government in controlling the spread, while others are against the government on certain terms. A few pastors still think that the best option is to keep churches open so as to “heal the sick.”

While other men of God are helping in the fight against the spread of coronavirus in the country, helping the lives of their members by supporting them financially, other men of God still are of the opinion that the government needs to remove the restriction placed on public gatherings as it affects churches. Other Twitter users are calling on churches who own schools and universities to donate their facilities to the government just like the Catholic Church had done.

Another angle to why the Catholic church is trending on Twitter are the zealots who are of the opinion that the church is a model to many other Christian denominations globally. Yes, the church may have been the first, but just like the Catholic Church, other churches have in one way or another contributed to the affairs of the country. Living up to the standards of true religion according to James 1:27’s definition of what pure religion looks like.

Although the news of the Catholic church’s donation did not come as a shock to many, the way it was perceived by both Catholics and non-Catholics alike is a sign of hope for Nigerians who are hoping for the best out of Nigerians and for Nigerians.

It most importantly also confirms the philosophy that faith-based institutions can not be pushed aside in the quest to build a country of pride that works for everyone.

Evang. Chinedu Obigwe: *Accidental Senator ifeanyi Ubah and his well known habit of ingratitude is a proof of the fact that he is the worst ingrate on this planet earth.*

I have never seen an ingrate like accidental Senator ifeanyi Ubah.

He derives pleasure from betraying people and showing them his habit of ingratitude.

Infact, accidental Senator ifeanyi Ubah is the proverbial animal that you will do favour for and he will run inside the bush with the favour done for him without appreciating what your kind gesture.

I can State without mincing words that Governor Obiano as a banker  helped accidental Senator ifeanyi Ubah to secure his first business loan from bank.

 But as at today, he is busy deceiving the gullible minded with the cock and bull story of how he made Obiano re-election possible.

If accidental Senator ifeanyi Ubah has conscience, he will openly confess that he is owing Governor Obiano the debt of gratitude in the morning , in the afternoon and in the evening.


 The truth is that accidental Senator ifeanyi Ubah saving grace is that Governor Obiano is not the type that likes dignifying rotten characters like him with response for all his concocted tissue of lies.

If there is any other thing worst than ingrate that thing is ifeanyi Ubah for you.

He is not only an ingrate, he is also deceitful.

 Cosmas Mmaduka popularly known as Coscharis gave a clearer picture of the personality called ifeanyi Ubah in his account of what actually transpired between them.

According to Cosmas Mmaduka, when ifeanyi Ubah pleaded him to save his business, he gave him the impression that other big players in the Oil industry are not happy with the success he is making in the business and that they ganged up against him to destroy his business.

 Cosmas Mmaduka seeing him as an igbo man and his fellow Nnewi Kinsman was moved in his heart to help him not knowing that the man crawling to get his help will later turn to a tiger.

 Cosmas Mmaduka assisted him to secure huge loan running into billions from Access bank and as soon as this was done , he turned into a tiger.

The truth is that accidental Senator ifeanyi Ubah is a Wolf in sheep clothing.

 When you talk about ingrates in Anambra State, accidental Senator ifeanyi Ubah is the number 1 ingrate in Anambra and Nigeria at large.

 My reason for saying that is because no other businessman in Nigeria is associated with the kind of horrible story we are hearing about accidental Senator ifeanyi Ubah.

Being an ingrate is a way of life for him.

 Help accidental Senator ifeanyi Ubah today and he will stab you at the back tomorrow.

 If you go to Ozubulu where he built ifeanyi Ubah stadium, the people of Ozubulu are crying of betrayal.

They accused him of reneging on the agreement they reached with that made them tobgive him their land.

 Gabriel Chukwuma popularly known as Gabros is also telling the same story and crying of being betrayed by the same accidental Senator ifeanyi Ubah.

With all these horrible and heartbreaking story of ifeanyi Ubah backstabbing attitude, you don't need a fortune teller to tell you that he is a devil incarnate that is on evil mission.

Anybody campaigning for ifeanyi Ubah ill conceived governorship ambition is foolishly selling a bad product to ndi Anambra and the product is already rejected.

Entrusting the future of ndi Anambra into the hands of accidental Senator ifeanyi Ubah is tantamount to selling them into slavery and mortgaging their future.

His understanding of governance is the more you look the less you see and that is what he wants to do in Anambra, God forbid bad thing.

Ndi Anambra need somebody that will be humane at heart like Governor Obiano to succeed him in office and not a heartless ifeanyi Ubah that derives joy in putting his fellow human beings in painful condition.

 When we talk of ifeanyi Ubah, we are talking of a character that will borrow 1billion naira from you and when you come to demand for the payment of the 1billion naira debt, he will dip hands into the money to buy you Champagne wine and when you are leaving his house , he will also give you 1million naira to fuel your convoy but will not pay you that 1billion naira he borrowed from you.

This is for you to see how wicked and heartless he is.

He is surviving on borrowing and cannot do without borrowing.

The worst part of it is that he can no longer borrow from banks and that is why he is now faking it to deceive people.

Everything concerning accidental Senator ifeanyi Ubah lifestyle is fake.

If he is not faking it, he will put a stop to his flamboyant lifestyle and concentrate on the payment of his debt to AMCON.

The most painful aspect of accidental Senator ifeanyi Ubah story is that his workers are now suffering for his carelessness and inability to manage his business well.

 He is owing them for months and till date he has not paid them.

 Put yourself in the shoe of those workers and tell me how you will feel.

The last thing ndi Anambra will do is to fall for the deceptive antics of accidental Senator ifeanyi Ubah because they know that allowing him to deceive them is tantamount to commission of political suicide.

Daalu nu.

Husband forced to trek to the hospital carrying his sick wife as lockdown leads to a scarcity of public transportation (video)

A Good Samaritan who saw a husband carrying his sick wife as he trekked the long distance to the hospital due to the lockdown in the state was moved to help transport the couple to the hospital.

Due to the lockdown, there were no cars on the road and the husband had no choice but to carry his weak wife while trekking.

The Good Samaritan said the outcome might have been fatal if she had not come along to help them get to the hospital.

We’re under pressure to announce false COVID-19 cases — Kogi

The Kogi State Commissioner for Health, Dr Saka Haruna, has said the state is under pressure to declare that it has COVID-19 cases where there is none.

The commissioner made the claims in a statement on Thursday.

He, however, said the state would not succumb to the pressure.

The statement followed a report, which claimed that four persons suspected to be COVID-19 patients had died at the Federal Medical Centre, Lokoja in the last one week.

He said that as the state commissioner for health, a member of the Governing Board of the FMC Lokoja, and also the incident manager for COVID-19 in the state, he had yet to be informed of any claimed cases.

“There is also a representative of the FMC Lokoja in the state’s squadron against COVID-19 /Lassa fever and never for once was any such case raised in our meetings.

The commissioner alleged that the aim of those putting pressure on the state was to politicise the situation as they are not happy that the current administration has been scored high by local and international observers on health care.

He added, “First and foremost, it is imperative that the public realise that there is no state government that can deliberately put her people in harm’s way for whatever political reason and the current administration has been scored high by local and international observers on health. We have and will continue to put the health of our people as first priority.

“We have been in an annual fight against Lassa fever as the state is located in the Lassa fever belt, recording several cases with regrettable losses. 

We were first to establish a Biosafety Laboratory for Lassa fever in Nigeria and this year alone we have confirmed 30 cases of Lassa fever that was duly announced. To accuse the state of a cover-up of COVID-19 cases is mischievous and at best politically inclined.”

Women are the greatest enemy to themselves... Read below:

Stop fighting the men, women are each other’s greatest enemies – Writer Grace

A Nigerian lady with the handle @Grace_undiluted on Twitter has claimed that women are their own enemies not the men.

To support her claim, the lady used the popular mother/daughter-in-law relationship as an example to explain how women are often the ones who try to tear each other down.

“A woman’s greatest enemy is not a man, not the devil, not poverty. The enemy of a woman is a woman. Have you ever seen a father in law dragging the front seat of his son’s car with his daughter-inlaw? No, it’s always the mother in law who is also a wife and a daughter inlaw and definitely won’t accept the same treatment from her own mother inlaw. she is a woman. “, she said.

“The side chick that is sleeping around with married men, knowing fully well that it is capable of destroying another woman’s home is a woman. If a marriage fails, the majority of people that will blame the wife, call her names for not keeping her home are women.”, she continued.

The lady went on to accuse women of being responsible for pushing negative standards in the society.

“The people pushing negative societal standards on women are women. If a man cheats, the people who blame the wife for not cooking great meals for him, respecting him, being sexually available for him at all times. Therefore blaming her for the misdeed of the man are women.”, she said.

She concluded her write up by advising women to stop fighting men as women are the ones pulling each other down.

“Stop fighting the men, women are the ones who are busy pulling each other down every day. Address the issue from the inside and teach women to support each other rather than tear each other down. Fix a sisters crown today.”, she wrote.

IDF NGO National President: Chief Col. A.C Mezue layed out ways for effective act of admins. Food for thought as reported by information manager: Prince Jonathan Izuchukwu who is the National Admin Secretary

*CHART GROUP RISK PREVENTION REPORT*

Few days ago, a chart group admin number was hacked, and the hackers removed the admin and made himself admin, thereby holding the group hostage, and individuals began to vamoos themselves from the group and the group chart collapsed alongside the hacker.

I then went on risk assessment of all the group chart I belong and I discovered that, some group has just *ONE*admin* this put the chart group in danger.

*Recommendations*

1. This chart group should have minimum of two admins

2. The additional admins must follow the two step security applications to avert being hacked

3. In the case where one admin is bieng hacked, the second admin should  remove the hacker immediately

4. To successfully achieve number 3 above, admins must always be on alert and ensure thier datas are on 24/7 with sufficient data plan subscriptions .

5. That number 1-4 innovations would  spread and avoid our risk and possibly counter any threat from criminal elements.

6. That the existing admin remains the lead Admin
