It was\u00a0 celebration galore as Imo-Abia Christ the King Catholic (CKC)community, family, friends and well wishers of Mr Osita Anayo-Chukwu Asonta Celebrates his 70th birthday anniversary recently.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
At the occasion, guests were treated with music, dancing, native and foreign delicacies as the celebrant danced with his wife, grand children and well wishers<\/div>\n
\n
A retired Director in the Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, Mr Asonta was born at Aba, in August 20, 1954 to the family of Mazi\u00a0 Semion\u00a0 and Ezinne Fidelia Asonta from Umuire<\/div>\n
Village in Orlu Town Local government of Imo state.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Recalling his early days in an interview with the Publisher of Daily Echoes, Mr Ignatius Okorocha, the celebrant glorified God for the gift of life, noting that there were seven of his age mates that were born on the same day and out of the seven,only himself and one other person\u00a0 are still alive today.<\/div>\n

“We were Seven of my age mates that were born on the same day. Five of us\u00a0 are gone and\u00a0 only two of us are now living.Two of us were born the same day, the same year and in the same village.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
It’s not that I have money to celebrate but I recall the circumstances behind my birth.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
“My Mother had two issues first and they all died. I came and God said I should live.<\/div>\n
So, I am giving God that glory today, I have clocked 70.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Continuing he said, “The Bible tells us that man’s life on earth is 70 years, any other thing\u00a0 outside 70 years is jara.<\/div>\n
God has blessed me to attain that 70 years and\u00a0 that is why I am celebrating it today.”<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
He advised the youth to be patient with life and avoid the get-rich-fast syndrome saying, “I advise the younger ones to be patience. I will join the Anambra musician that sang “Gwo-gwo-gwo-ngwo” Mike Ejeaha”. And so I\u00a0 advise the youth to be patience. You don’t just come into the world and become millionaire overnight. It is a gradual process.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
“I started my work as a civil servant on level 7 and started climbing until I attained the level of a Director. And so people should have patience.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
“You don’t come into the world and become a millionaire, know you have to grow and exercise patience until God blesses you.”<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
On his fellow Catholics, Mr Osonta said”My advice to my fellow Catholics is devote your life to God. It is surprising that these days our youth will come to church and begin to watch the facilities in the church and some of them don’t even receive holy Communion.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u00a0“Again my advice to our youth in other denominations is that they should read their Bible and do what God wants them to do to win salvation.”<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
