There was jubilation in Christ the King Catholic Church Kurudu on Sunday as Parishioners joined\u00a0 Saint Anthony,Imo\/Abia Community and Karu denary to celebrate their chairman, Chief and Lolo, Honourus Obasi ( Chimereze I of Akagbogu in Imo state) to celebrate their 25th years wedding anniversary.<\/div>\n
For the first time in the history of the parish, Chief was the first Parishioners of CKC kurudu to be honoured with Papal blessings administered by the Parish Priest, Very Rev Fr. Thaddeus Chike<\/div>\n
Speaking in an interview with Correspondent, the chief celebrant said,”<\/div>\n
I am excited today doesn’t come twice. If it is twice it is going to be bigger. It is a jubilee year for us, 25years\u00a0 and the next one we expect by God’s grace is 50years\u00a0 and we are very grateful to God. I am really excited and my wife is also quite excited because every marriage has it’s ups and downs, what is important is the ability to be able to withstand in the days of troubles, in the days of joy to stand firm and . Of course that is what has kept us together love and endurance we have been able to stay together. We are very grateful to God.<\/div>\n
On young couples that have embraced marriage, he said,”Well, they said marriage is an institution that you enter and you never graduate from but I think it takes a lot of endurance. It takes a lot of understanding, it takes a lot of\u00a0 tolerance and it takes a lot love. Like some of the testimonies that you heard today. By virtue of my job I have been kind\u00a0 of normadic and move from place to place but yet, we are not always together but the love is always there. I don’t know what puts in\u00a0 the mouth of our sponsor today. She said that even while we were not together, our love keeps on growing stronger even more than those who\u00a0 are staying together. Of course not because of anything but for the fact that we allow\u00a0 love.to<\/a>\u00a0grow in our union ..we are grateful.\u00a0 to God. We take every opportunity to thank God for what he has done for us because we are nothing before him. Looking from where we started, you will see that we started from a humble path but God has brought us thus far. We are civil servants but God also has blessed us, we are happy for the children God has blessed us with and we are happy for how long he has kept us for his grace and mercies, the joy, happiness and togetherness.<\/div>\n
On broken families, he said,” it takes love, it’s takes a lot of love, it takes a lot of understanding and sometimes like the Bible says it is expedient to marry within our tribe. That doesn’t mean that we should marry our sisters rather we are advise to marry within your environment.<\/div>\n
I think this\u00a0 is what I would ask people to do, yes we want to promote inter-tribal\u00a0 marriage but most times too, it’s just like a flamboyant thing it doesn’t end up working. It is not that I am discouraging people, those who find love in it should go ahead and marry but I think people should marry within their tribes so that they will be able to endure and have\u00a0 peace within and among\u00a0 themselves.<\/div>\n
Also the wife of Chief Honours Obasi, Lolo Chinwe Obasi had this to say on what she saw in her husband that sustained their Marriage, she said “he is not just my husband, he is my brother, he is my best friend and husband. We started as brothers and sisters and ended up in marriage. So, that brotherly and sisterly love has been there. He is a man of his words, when he says Yes, his Yes is yes. I like a man that loves God. From the day I saw him, I saw him as somebody that loves God so much and things that concern God. He likes participating in things that concerns God. So, he is my husband and I do tell people that in my next world, if there is anything like that, I will also want to be his wife again. He is a man of his word, I love him. Sometimes I will call him and tell him, ‘do you know that I love you, and he will say, ‘yes he does. So, he is a gentleman to the core, not just gentle outside but gentlemen in and outside.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
