He need to rest small

abiodunalasa:
I wanted to say RIP...
But then he's White man!

Aint no saying sh*t to a White man!

This is not good.

I attended GSS Minna. I remember when Cyril Stober came back for our golden jubilee. I know how he bowed down to pay homage. I know the old men and women who bowed down and greeted Father. Father is a legend.

What this man has done, very few Nigerians have done. This man gave so much to this country. The number of people he moulded and built.

In some few weeks time we'll line up in Minna to pay our last respect. When we do, there'll be upright men and women from every single part of this country who have excelled in whatever profession they chose. Father moulded and built us, brick by brick. And no one would remember your worthless existence. Because the calibre of people that will line up will be so much more than you can ever hope to be.

RIP Padre!

You will forever remain our hearts.

Signed: Father Boys!

Yeeeh! Fr. O'Connell

I think he had a brief stint at Mount Saint Gabriel's secondary school Makurdi before he left for Minna

maturity aren't by number of yrs.

God old days of Missionaries. Still remember Ms Harris, one of Baptist missionaries to Animoe.

God rest his soul.

when missionary was still missionary, not the extortionists and thieves in missionary clothings we now have as.....




the difference between black and white is too huge


RIP daddy cornell, the greatest principal in Nigerian history, who served humanity....u remind me of great Susan Wenger of osun-oshogbo shrine

This is where one can BOLD type, R......I......P.
Check him, he may not have up to 2Million in his Financial ACCOUNT, but he died a Fulfilled MAN, knowing the number of great men who passed through him.
R......I......P.....Daddy.
Not those THIEVES calling themselves Pastors

There are millions of Nigerians who have done this and in fact still doing this. That is, giving their life and every inch of their existence to the growth of Nigerian students.

Now, the day you start reading and understanding, that's the day you will realize why you and your entire single digit IQ generation will continue to be subservient to a White man.

May your MANHOOD rest in peace.

GSS Minna in Niger State has lost their longest serving Principal.
He was a man that put all he had to capacity training of humanity.

May his soul rest in peace.
I still remember the first time I saw him in our lady of Fatima parish, Tunga at Minna.

Do we have two of his type/kind in this country? Be it as a Pastor, Imam, Teacher, Parent or politician? This is best described as leadership (service), not what we're seeing today. May the soul of Fr. Cornell rest in the peace of the Lord.
