Browsing: Catholic Church in Ijan Ekiti

Growing up as a parish boy in our then small Catholic Church in Ijan Ekiti early in the 60s and 70s, I understood early in life the import of what the Bible says in Proverb 18:22 that “He who finds a wife finds a good thing and obtains favour from God” because my mother demonstrated all that were expected of a good wife to our father. And as a mother, one cannot obviously wish for a better mother because she was one in a million. She didn’t only demonstrate unbridled love towards her children and relatives, she was always willing to render help and lift people around her. She was so caring that she was nicknamed ‘mother to all’ because she looked after everybody and concerned about the affairs of all.
