1988 wiped the tears of Umu Ezinna.
Who had longed for a priest.
From when time began eluded.
Aku,Amaekwulu,Ifite rained tears of joy
Catholics, Anglicans, Pentecostals,Trado-Religionists alike.
‘My people will cry no more’
‘Ezinna one chances’ you’re called.
In seminary committed ever you were.
Mindful of yearnings of Umu Ezinna.
You had your calvary, critical.
Your God ever beside you
We prayed,Umu Ezinna waited praying.
Till the announcement by MC.
Behold Revd Umeoji is a priest!
At St John’s, Ezinifite it happened.
Our choir chorusing’Tu Es Sacerdos’..
With great apostolic, pastoral zeal
You served at Agulu,Nimo as Vicar.
Worried about the poor, the downtrodden
Charging the rich to their aid cometh
Alas, birth of Akunatakasi, your nickname.
You toiled and gave your all
In Achalla, Ekwulọbịa,Awka, Agulu, Neni and Igbo-ukwu.
When my people unruly became
Home mission restoring peace you did.
You toiled and gave your all.
Your zeal like the northern star
Reconciling men to God a constant.
Reconciling priests in God’s vineyard.
Providing way when we’re wearied.
Episcopal Vicar for the Clergy, kpọmkwem.
You have seen challenges, numerous.
You drank heartbreaks and headaches.
Calm, recollected, strong you remain.
A wounded healer,in real time.
Great pastor, unruffled,ever prayerful.
Your ordination is 33 years and counting.
Opening floodgates for blessings
1988 wiped the tears of Umu Ezinna
With 33 priests today in Ezinna.
We give thanks to Chukwu Nna.
