 Christians enjoined to seek God's face desist from negotiating one's destiny with the devil By Ezumezu Nonyelum  Christians enjoined to seek God's face desist from negotiating one's destiny with the devil. Converts encouraged to refrain from secret sin that deprives them from mercy of God. The Officiating Priest of St. Michael Parish Awkuzu, Rev. Fr. Michael Okoye stated this in a homily during a 6.00am mass on November 15. Fr. Michael Okoye hinted that some Catholic faithfuls have deny their destiny for worldly pleasures, sins, money to satisfy their flesh. He reflects on Mathew's Gospel that"  fear is debilitating indeed". The other servants who were not governed by fear took risk and made wonderful returns", he said. Fr.

 Donald Duke Opens Up On Florence Ita Giwa


In human interactions, two factors are sacrosanct, age and authority and even more so in the African context. On both counts, Mma Florence is my senior.


Indeed, if she were family, she would qualify as my late 94 year old mothers immediate junior sister, as none of my aunties are anywhere near her age and I don’t take that lightly. I recall a former federal minister, telling me that when he started secondary school at Lagos in 1952, Mma Florence the same year commenced training as an auxiliary nurse at Aba. Indeed, Mma Floxy as I fondly and respectfully call her, had aspired and contested the Ms. Nigeria pageant, while I was still a foetus, (she contested in April 1961 and I was born much later in September of the same year).


On a personal note, I stood in as her person of contact when she did liposuction, breast implant and upliftment, so I consider her somewhat of an aunt, a next of kin. Contrarily, Mma Floxy, has been known to be courtesan in her political and business dealings. All said, it will be a betrayal of my upbringing to be abusive or cast aspersions on such a personage. Politics should never be a platform that denigrates the ethos of respect to our elders.


Thank you.


Donald Duke

Former Governor, Cross River State.
