COVID-19: Ebube Muonso Gives Succour To Needy Nigerians
By Izunna Okafor
As part of efforts
to assuage the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic ravaging the world; the
Spiritual Director of the Holy Ghost Adoration Ministry, Uke, Anambra State,
Rev. Fr. Emmanuel Obimma (a.k.a Fr. Ebube Muonso) has distributed food stuff
worth ten million naira to over four thousand needy Nigerians resident in
Anambra State.
The items
distributed include bags of rice, cartons of indomie, tubers of yams among
others.
Sharing the items to
the beneficiaries at his Parish Church of Blessed Iwene Tansi, Umudioka; Fr.
Obimma said he learnt almsgiving and philanthropy to the downtrodden from his
mentor and Archbishop, Most Rev. Valerian Maduka Okeke, the Archbishop of the
Catholic Archdiocese of Onitsha and Metropolitan of Onitsha Ecclesiastical
Province, who is also a committed giver.
He appreciated his
friend, Chief Obiorah Okonkwo, a former Governorship aspirant in the state, who
also supported with thousands of hand sanitizers.
He further urged
others well-to-do individuals to assist the needy and vulnerable individuals
around them, as according to him, it is through interpersonal assistance that
the effect of the period could be better assuaged .
He said, "I
have emptied my personal account to make sure this happened; and by God's grace
by next week Monday, and in two weeks time, I shall do another round of giving
to the poor in our society. I also urge those who have to give out to others,
as givers never lack.
"I am
overwhelmed when I saw over 4,000 people ready to collect food. I praised God
that I thought it wise to do the food apostolate. I have taken the lead, others
in the mission should also follow."
"I am sure soon
Coronavirus will be a thing of the past, because Jesus Christ died for us that
we may live .
"I urge
Nigerians and Christians to have hope in Jesus Christ. We shall overcome
Coronavirus because with hope and faith, we are more than conquerors.
Coronavirus shall come to an end. God heal your people in Jesus
name....Amen."
In their separate
reactions, some of the beneficiaries, including Mrs Ezenwa Oraegbune and Mrs.
Ngozika Onwuakpaelo expressed gratitude to God for using Fr. Ebube Mounso to
provide food and succour for them, even as they prayed God to bless, enrich him
the more, and also expand his ministry.
Fr. Ebube Muonso has
given scholarship to thousands of people, cars to his workers, and has also
built houses for the poor, among other ways he has manifested his philanthropy.
