DEATH REVISITED AS BISHOP EZEOKAFOR BURIES THREE PRIESTS

DEATH REVISITED AS BISHOP EZEOKAFOR BURIES THREE PRIESTS

Opinion
By Valentine Obienyem  AT the most recent burials of priests that I have attended, the homily was delivered by one of the deceased priests’ classmates. This is often done on the reasonable assumption that classmates, having shared many years of formation and priestly life with the deceased, know him intimately and can speak about his character and life from personal experience. Funeral orations by classmates and associates, whether delivered in church or at the graveside, often help, as it did today, to  preserve the personal memories, character and legacy of the deceased. But what happens when three priests are being buried simultaneously, as we witnessed today at St. Patrick’s Cathedral, Awka, with Bishop Paulinus Ezeokafor presiding? Who should deliver the homily? Wh...

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has constituted the APC Presidential Campaign Council, with himself as Chairman, Vice-President Kashim Shettima and APC National Chairman Nentawe Yilwatda as Vice-Chairmen and former Zamfara Governor, Sen.
