Independence Day: Anglican Bishop's pray for Nigeria

May God grant us the grace to move closer to Him, the wisdom to respect each other and live in peace and harmony. May we experience unity, equity, justice and fairness. 
—Archbishop Emmanuel Chukwuma, of Enugu Anglican Diocese.

 May God bless Nigeria more than the worldly expectations. May the enemies of this blessed nation hear about the miracles which God will perform. We shall live long to see the fall of all those who plan to destroy its glory. —Bishop (Dr) J.A. Ajetunmobi, Anglican Diocese of Ibadan-South.

 I decree that the purpose of God shall stand in Nigeria and every form of insecurity shall be brought to an end. God will abort every evil conceived in the womb of darkness concerning Nigeria’s security. —Reverend Andrew Olajide, St. Peter’s Anglican Church.


Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, I pray that you would bless us with your spirit of unity in our nation. Fill us with Your spirit of love and unity.
—Reverend Adeboye Noah Oyelere, St. Paul’s Anglican Church, Odo-Ona, Ibadan.

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 ...

Bishop of the Diocese of Evo, Church of Nigeria (Anglican Communion), Rt. Rev. Innocent Ordu. The Bishop of the Diocese of Evo, Church of Nigeria (Anglican Communion), Rt. Rev. Innocent Ord u, has restated that the Church of Nigeria condemns same sex marriage, homosexuality and lesbianism.
