Buchi Praises Catholic Priests, Hails Cardinal Onaiyekan's Courage

Buchi Praises Catholic Priests, Hails Cardinal Onaiyekan's Courage — 1 of 2
1 / 2

Gospel singer Buchi Atuonwu has shared encounters that shaped his admiration for Catholic priests. He recalled an Abuja outreach where a priest confidently said the rain would hold off, and it reportedly stopped until the programme ended. He also remembered a priest in Port Harcourt whose simple, contented lifestyle left a lasting impression on him. According to Buchi, the priest said he had few material needs and little use for the money he received. Buchi praised Cardinal John Onaiyekan for speaking frankly to the President, describing the cleric's stance as courageous. He said the experiences reminded him that Christians, despite denominational differences, are one family.

The rain account is striking, but admiration for priests can still stand on their service and character without everyone interpreting it the same way.
