Shaibu, in a statement, described the death of Rev. Fr Christopher Odia, as collective loss not only to the Catholic diocese of Auchi but to Edo at large. “While alive, Rev. Fr. Christopher Odia, a man imbued with a solid kindred spirit, distinguished himself in all that he did towards the growth and development of Auchi diocese. He was not only sharply focused, he was also clearsighted in providing you with solid support in the significant and remarkable efforts that have also produced the Ogedegbe’s family. My dear brother, this is indeed our collective loss and we will sorely miss him. I pray that the Almighty God will give you the fortitude to bear this irreparable loss and grant the departed eternal rest. “Accept my deepest sympathies.”

OGBONA COMMUNITY SALUTE ALFRED IMHOMOH AND FAMILY

OGBONA COMMUNITY SALUTE ALFRED IMHOMOH AND FAMILY A few weeks ago, we were celebrating Kingsley Imhomoh for lending a helping hand to Ogbona community. Today we are celebrating his father Alfred Imhomoh Many of us grew up to know Alfred Imhomoh as a bona fide Ogbonan, as he lived, married and raised his family in Ogbona until he emigrated to the USA some years ago to ply his trade as medical personnel. He so blended with everybody in the community that it became something of a shock when we got to know that he is from Irekpai in Uzairue clan. Alfred and members of his family still see Ogbona as their home and all Ogbonans as their brothers and sisters. Alfred sent some money as palliatives to people at Ogbona. The breakdown is as follows: 4 eldest women, N5,000 each;  4 eldest men, N5,000 each; Chief Idode N5,000; Mrs. J .I Odior, N3,000;  Dada Oba Uwami, N3,000;  Alikalika’s wife from Weppa N2,000;  Patrick Ivhaluogwe, his former landlord N2,000; Onamana Utu Igbadumhe N2,000. According to information available to us, he extended the same benevolence to Iraokhor, Ayogwiri, Irekpai, Ugbenor, Ikabigbo and Idatto communities, thus showing his large-heartedness and love for all. We thank Alfred and his family and continue to hold them in prayer especially at this time of COVID 19. One of our sons (anonymous) donated the sum of N200,000 to the community for palliatives for the COVID 19. May the blessing of the Lord be with him and family.

KINGSLEY IMHOMOH LENDS A HELPING HAND TO OGBONA COMMUNITY

KINGSLEY IMHOMOH LENDS A HELPING HAND TO OGBONA COMMUNITY As the saying goes, ” Ones home is where he feels accepted and secured.”  We all grew up to know Alfred Imhomoh as a “son of the soil”, a bona fide Ogbonan, as he lived, married and raised his family in Ogbona until he emigrated to the USA some years ago to ply his trade as medical personnel. He so blended with everybody in the community that it became something of a shock when we got to know that he is from Irekpai in Uzairue clan. Till date, Alfred and members of his family still see Ogbona as their sweet home and all Ogbonans as their brothers and sisters. To any Ogbonan, Alfred and his family have in so many ways demonstrated their love for Ogbona community and any Ogbonan with whom their paths crossed. It is the same spirit that has propelled one of his sons, Kingsley Imhomoh, who is also domiciled in the United States to, once again, showcase the family’s love for Ogbona community by donating Rice 50kg 5 Bags, Beans 50kg 5 Bags and Indomie noodles Carton 25. The pictures and videos show the Alfred Imhomoh’s family, Kingsley Imhomoh and the sharing of the donated foodstuffs to 280 Ogbona widows.
