Akure: 100 DAYS OF BUHARI PRESIDENCY: PRIMATE URGES PATIENCE, UNDERSTANDING

Nigerians have been urged to be patient with the new administration of President Muhammadu Buhari. The Archbishop, Metropolitan and Primate of All Nigeria Anglican Communion, His Grace, the Most Rev, Nicholas Okoh gave the charge on arrival in Akure the Ondo State capital for the second edition of the Anglican Communion Standing Committee Meeting for year 2015.

The Primate said One Hundred days are too short a time to assess the performance of a new government desirous of curbing corruption and all forms in indiscipline in the polity.

He expressed optimism that the Buhari Administration would move Nigeria forward hence the need for prayers and patience of all Nigerians.

The Primate hinted that the meeting would also decide on filling vacant positions in the house of Bishops in some of Dioceses.

On hand to welcome the Primate and his wife, Mrs. Nkasiobi Okoh to the Diocese of Akure, Anglican Communion were the Bishop of Akure Diocese, Rt Rev. Simeon Borokini with his wife; the Provost of the Cathedral Church of St David, Ijomu, Akure, the Very Revd.

The Most. Rev. Professor Adebayo Dada Akinde is a good example of the truism that God

The spiritual head of the Diocese of Lagos Mainland, Church of Nigeria (Anglican Communion), the Most. Rev. Professor Adebayo Dada Akinde is a good example of the truism that God invariably has His way in the affairs of men. What God ordains for each of his children ultimately supersedes all human calculations and disposition. In time, each man and woman whom God created for a specific role must succumb to that, willy-nilly. God rules in the affairs of men and those who understand this truism are the happier for it. Bishop Akinde evidently is. For a man who had distinguished himself so eminently in academics, not many had imagined for him a full time commitment to the service of God. If anyone had told him some 35 years ago that he would some day be the pioneer bishop of the Diocese of Lagos Mainland, he would probably have dismissed it as an empty joke. Having pioneered many projects in the academia, he thought he had had enough of pioneering work. Born in Kaduna, northwest of N...

COMMENDATION SERVICE FOR SIR PAULINUS UMEOKORO AT ST BARNABAS CHURCH OMAGBA, PH 2 ONITSHA, PONTIFICATED BY RT REV DR OWEN C. NWOKOLO...

"...he fought a good fight & finished his race...timely, not untimely...." Rest in peace, "daddy d daddy"!!! Tribute1 From Canon Izu Obiekwe ~ The Only Sir Paulinus of St Barnabas! For the first time and incidentally at the occurrence of Sir Umeokoro's death, we thought of the literal meaning of "Umeokoro" as implying "strength, stamina, vigor, vitality of the youth", and he hailed from "Obodoukwu" which literally implies "the land of the great". Obviously, for those who knew Sir Paulinus closely, these names played out in his life and character . On our arrival at St Barnabas Parish Omagba Ph 2, Onitsha, as the Vicar in 2008, we met the handsome Sir Paulinus and beautiful Lady Patricia Umeokoro, and both were looking fair in complexion, always walking along and seating down conferring together, in perfect love and unity. Before and as at early 2008, Sir Paulinus was used to seating at the back pews/seats ...
