Interdenominational Commendation Service For Late Dr Alex Ekwueme

Image
Eulogies  poured in at the commendation service organised in honour of the former vice president, late Dr Alex Ekwueme, at the Michael Okpara Square, Enugu. At the service, the Archbishop of Enugu Ecclesiastical Province and Bishop of Anglican Diocese of Enugu, the Most Rev Dr. Emmanuel Chukwuma, who preached the sermon, hit hard on Nigerian politicians, accusing them of being self-centred. This, he said, negated the kind of politics the late    Ekwueme played while he was alive. Bishop Chukwuma told the legion of politicians who were present at the service that they were playing politics of personal aggrandisement, adding, “Recycling yourselves in politics is a disgrace.” The cleric chided the politicians who he said as soon as they ride on the mandate of the people to power they would turn their backs against them. Chukwuma whose message at the sermon was “How prepared are you?” said the problem with politicians is that most of them do not have other caree...

*THINGS THAT CAUSE REGRET AT OLD AGE*

When younger we make various choices without the future in mind. Sometimes those choices bite us in our mid-life.

Things might get worse between you two; then depression, physical abuse, affairs, pain, shame, court cases, bitterness will define your mid-life years all because you chose the wrong one. Things will get worse when children are involved. Make the right choice of a spouse when you are young. 2. *The opportunities you did not seize* When you are younger many doors will open, you will get many chances. Many young people let these opportun...
