It was a great privilege to be a guest at the ongoing 15th General Synod of the Church of Nigeria, Anglican Communion, holding at Our Saviour’s Anglican Church, Ikenne-Remo, Ogun State.
Beyond the remarkable level of orderliness I observed within the denomination, one of the most touching highlights of the occasion for me was hearing warm and beautiful comments about my late dad and mum from The Most Rev. Dr. Henry Chukwudum Ndukuba, Archbishop, Metropolitan and Primate of the Church of Nigeria.
He spoke about how Papa Tai, Mama Sheila and the Mayflower community came to the aid of him and his family during and after the Nigerian Civil War. These were things I had never known before, and learning about them brought immense joy to my heart.
I would also like to sincerely appreciate The Most Rev. Dr. Henry Chukwudum Ndukuba and the Church of Nigeria, Anglican Communion, for the warmth, hospitality and honour extended to me throughout the occasion.
I am grateful to the Church for creating such an atmosphere of orderliness, fellowship and genuine Christian love, which made the experience truly memorable for me.
Mark Antony said in Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar that the good deeds of men are forgotten and buried with them. That, however, is not the case with Oga Taṣẹrẹ, whose humanitarian deeds continue to live on and resonate across generations.
