CHIBU NDUBUISI'S DIARY.

            Thank You Sir Kelvin Alisigwe.                          By Chibu  Ndubuisi.  17/12/2021 “You change the world not by the example of power but by the power of example” Joe Biden I want to thank you for being the reason why my children Chinakasimobi (Kassy) and Chukwuzirimuuzoya (chizirim) will keep believing in miracles. I want to thank you for bringing immeasurable joy to the children and the parents. You have no idea what these little demonstration and gestures of love are doing to these children. From chauffer driving them home after Morning Mass to inviting them in a personal capacity to your Son’s Priestly Ordination and now this Christmas gesture to them through my wife. It was Rabbi Israel Salanter who noted that “someone’s else material needs are my spiritual responsibility”. I thank you for the material needs you have provided to Kassy and Chizirim at this p...

*I am humbled by this piece and hereby recommend it for a slow reading* ====== A man’s character is his fate.  Heraclitus Thomas Jefferson, the third President of the United States (US), said: “Nothing can stop the man with the *right mental attitude* from achieving his goal; nothing on earth can help the man with the *wrong mental attitude*” As a clergyman, I have watched pitiably how people self-sabotage themselves by seeking spiritual solutions to character-deficit issues.  They look around at everybody as suspects for their predicaments when their greatest demons lurks within them - their character. What we often call our destiny is truly our character, and since that character can change, then destiny can be altered. *Character is destiny* . Is prayer actually EVERYTHING? Many would begin to argue back and forth on this intriguing question, but my main purpose of writing this piece is not to get involved in arguments. *_Arguments don’t improve the validity of a ‘truth;’ t...

  Rev Fr Gideon Zacharia Kanwai: Your Unique Journey to Priesthood. A Personal Reflection.      By Chibu Ndubuisi. 27/08/2021                I read in the bible about Gideon the mighty warrior. The Gideon I am reflecting about today is someone I met at St Joseph's Minor Seminary(SJS), Zaria, Kaduna State (1994-2000). A class mate full of life. As we advanced in studies, you were made the school's kitchen prefect while I was the refectory prefect. While others ate the general meal, we were served the special meal. On this occasion of your thanksgiving mass at your country home, I will be using this opportunity to serve you this special meal of a personal intellectual contribution on the journey ahead. There are four facts I have come to understand about answering THE CALL: √ It is unique to you √ You have the talent for it √ You have a sense of enjoyment and fulfillment at ...

MORE RIVERS TO CROSS.         9/03/2021 Good day my brethrens. I have partly come to the end of my stay at OWERRI, IMO State. A recent transfer published last week, took me to Okigwe to head the Drivers licence Centre there. Hence, I will no longer coordinate the affairs of this Alumnus as necessitated by this transfer. I deeply appreciate all who supported the growth of this Alumnus in Imo State with their time, talents and treasures. When I was posted to Owerri,IMO State in 2018 July, I was accomodated by Ikechukwu Matthew Ihejirika at his residence. This was made possible because we attended the same University (Caritas). I appreciate him for that heart of gold. We are all travellers, I have come to learn some basic fact about life when you decide to embark on life's journey. The first is that you must embark on a journey ( As evidenced by this union we started in Owerri) The second is that you are not assured that you will complete the journey ( As evidenced...
