9 years ago
I really lack words to express my heart felt deep sense of loss over the shocking news of the death of Fr Emma Onuh.
As undergraduate, Fr emma Onuh was our assistant chaplain at St Peter's Chaplaincy in UNN and whenever he celebrates mass for us, it was always a delight. His insightful and academic laden sermons and soul lifting sonorous voice often drew us in droves every Sunday for masses he presides over whether at St Peter's chaplain or Franco Hostel Refectory.

He has many books and Articles to his name. Employing the tools of logic and philosophy, he writes and reflects with authority, unction, grace and an uncommon literary elegance. His readers believe he sees something where most people see nothing. The all-round anointed excellence of “the golden voice of Bigard” does not go unnoticed by anyone who reads him or comes across him. Fr. Emma has a captivating sonorous voice and has used his operatic voice to uplift thousands of worshippers during his Mass celebrations since after his Priestly Ordination on 17th August, 1991. At his Priestly ordination he took as his pastoral guide St. Paul’s tall charge in 1Cor. 9:16 “Woe is me if I preach not the Gospel”. Fr Emma has characteristically lived this to the letter amply using the prophetic mode to throw the bitter truth against the triumphant evil in the society.
