When ever I look back and reflect on the growth of Catholicism here in Nigeria and in diaspora I begin to thank our well meaning priest scarterd all over the world and the impact they have created in uplifting our Catholic faith. In all this I won't fail to appreciate this three men of God whom over the years has contributed immensely through social media to the growth of the church, the first picture is fr. Chinaka Justin Mbaeri (OSJ) the second is fr. Ugwu kelvin (MSP) and the third is Uwakwe Chibuike (Okigwe Diocese).


Fr. Chinaka Justin Mbaeri : is a Catholic priest of oblates of st. Joseph he is a Nigeria from orlu in IMO state he studied his philosophy in Ibadan before he left to Brazil to complete his theological studies and was ordained a Catholic priest in Nigeria. Fr. Justin all through his philosophy and theology has successful through social media provided solution to disturbing question that kept on disturbing our Catholic faith, he does not miss to share both on Facebook and WhatsApp his Sunday reflection on weekends before that particular Sunday for discussion purposes, he is a missionary working in Brazil but still try in his tight schedule to post weekly quiz concerning our Catholic faith and take out time to mark it and gives prizes to deserving members. So many people has been disturbing him to compile all this his reflection questions and answers at least in a booklet for people's consumption but I doubt if he has done that may God richly reward you padre.

Fr. Ugwu Kelvin (MSP) (a.k.a) Facebook Television: is a Catholic priest of missionary Society of st. Paul's, he is from Enugu in Nigeria and working in one remote country in Africa fr. Kelvin studied both his philosophy and theology at st. Paul's seminary gwagwlada Abuja similar to fr. Justin he does not rest until he provide solution to some Catholic teachings and question raised to him last month he made headline in one of Nigerian dailys where he took out time to explain to people the conditions and how to collect tight from Christians, by clerics, using himself as an example. May God continue to bless you fr.


Uwakwe chibuike :is a Catholic seminarian of okigwe diocese he is from IMO state Nigeria (Amaraku to be precised) he studied both his philosophy and theology at bigard memorial seminary Enugu where he bagged first class in his philosophy, and he graduated from Theology this year by God's grace he will be ordained both Decon and priest next year.This young man over the years have really transformed his scribal talent like st. Paul for the church in Nigeria and in diaspora I am happy to identify with him I can call him our own. I was opportune to study in the same minor seminary with him, then he was the seminary journalist, he started sharing his reflection and opened a blog for that in 2011 when he was just in philosophy two, to be frank this guy saved me when I was in postulant as passionist seminarian our postulant master is a Congolese and most at times finds it difficult to speak English, one Sunday in 2012 I don't joke with nourishing my soul with Uwakwe's Reflection on Saturdays, as the Sunday mass was going on one of our seminarian came and tapped me that fr. Thirty who is the chief celebrant that day will like to have a word with me I went up to him, and he told me " MARVIS you will say the homily" with the obedience of the religious life I accented to that meanwhile I have reflected on Uwakwe's homily previously and to the glory of God the homily was a success. Rev. May God continue to bless you abundantly in Jesus name and remove the eyes of the evil ones on you till and after your ordination as a Catholic priest in Jesus name Amen.

In conclusion the Catholic church In Nigeria should as a matter of urgency transform some teaching of this young men down to our local diocesan newspaper, other than being busy spreading political news in our newspaper if all this we are seeing from this men are coming down to our local diocesan newspaper it will go a long way to assist some of our Catholic members in rural areas who don't know how to access the internet. People like fr. Hassan kukah (now bishop kukah) was able to uplift Catholicism in Nigeria through writing and some local newspapers helped in such regards I will be glad if well meaning Catholic Nigerians can help share this till it get to all the Nigerian Catholic diocesan communication Directors it will be a welcome development thanks.

Hon. ODIMMA MARVIS
