Happy birthday padre. More life and sound health

Happy birthday sir, wishing you long life and prosperity may God bless your new Age.

He confirmed me in d 80s

Very strick man sha

Happy birthday His eminence - A radical priest and cardinal. A man that does not take nonsense.

The take over of catholic schools in Nigeria after the civil war was a grave mistake by the military government of that era. That takeover completed the full destruction of primary and secondary schools in Nigeria. As at then, people, especially brilliant minds looked forward to going to Catholic- run schools, as they were perceived to be the best. Gowon, ill-advised by the Northern oligarchy, mandated States to take over the missionary schools and they ended up messing up the whole thing. Thank God that BAT restored full authority of the schools to the Church as governor of Lagos state and Peter Obi did same in Anambra. The schools are going back to their former glories.

Happy birthday to you Sir Almighty God will bless your new age

HBD Sir.. More life and health Sir.

I'm beginning to believe all noble men and woman of timber and caliber are born in June..

Happy birthday 🎂 to my small papa, may you continue to enjoy the reason why you joined this mission...

Ad multos centissimus annos Archbishop Emeretus Cardinal Okogie..

No regret serving as an altersever beside you, at Holy Cross Cathedral Lagos

I remember at Lagos state (St. Charles Catholic church, Olodi apapa) , this great man never ceases to come for either Holy communion or Confirmation on numerous children doing catechism classes then. I also recall he was a best friend to the late Fr Leo Flynn (same parish above).

I enjoyed reading Tai Solarin's article.

So e don tey wey these pulpit bandits dey cash out? He's right, education without religion is the sweetest tea.

It's such a small world after all........

Happy Birthday Sir. And thanks @naptu2 for the writeups... Its Strange to see a few persons up there running their mouths as usual.. Most of the youth know nothing about those who repeatedly stood against the evil regimes in this land..

Who he help?
200 people killed in Benue, where was his voice?

The man has played his own part as he is one of the very few men who spoke truth to the corrupt Nigerian system when he was younger.
He has left the stage for people like you and me. If only we are willing. 89yrs isn't easy.

you don't know him.

this man used to criticise IBB regime,

RollinTNDA:
He has made ZERO impact to Nigeria with his high status as Cardinal. They just sit in big cathedrals eating and enjoying life till old age.

Here's an example of his voice from 2021 amongst countless interventions over the decades

Perhaps do some research about Cardinal Okogie.

Then you don't know the man. He stood tall against the corrupt Nigerian system during his younger days. You only hear less from him these days because old age has set in.
