The late Princess Obaigbena, a retired Nursing Officer in the old Bendel State Government and Special Adviser to three different governors in Delta State died few months ago at the age of 87 years
A mass was celebrated in her honour at St Andrew’s Anglican Church, Owa-Oyibo, Diocese of Ika, Delta State
Reflecting on the the topic, death and the living, the Anglican Bishop of Ika, Rt. Rev’d. Godfrey Ekpensi in his homily, lamented that contrary to God’s plan for mankind, many people live their lives without recourse to death, emphasizing that death eventually awaits everyone.
Bishop Ekpensi pointed out that lack of love for one another, heart full of hatred, tribalism, nepotism, selfishness, greed for money, life without ethical value, celebration of mistakes and errors, injustice, deprivation, falsehood, total belief in materialism and others, are part of the evils that must be done away with, if one intends to make heaven and rest in peace.
