abiodunalasa:The day you start realising that the white man is not responsible for whatever hopelessness you have found yourself, is the day you will be on your way out of the chains you have confined yourself with. This post wasn't and still isn't about what other Nigerians have done in comparison to what Father did. If that were to be the case, then, we would have followed your line of argument. This post was about one man who gave his entire life to the growth of Nigerian students. The fact that you are trying to make this a 'white vs black man' argument shows you are the one who needs a complete brain transplant. It is not his fault that your life has remained stagnated. It is not the white man's fault at all. 4 Likes |

singing... I strolled to an old mission garden and as I was kneeling alone An arm gently fell on my shoulder it was the padre of old San Antone We went for a walk in the garden and as we were talking alone He told why he came to the mission to the mission in old San Antone Then the chapel bells they rang and an angel chorus sang "Mi amor mi amigo" from the sky Then he kneeled down to pray in the garden and whispered Mi amore mi Corazonne Then I knew that his love was an angel the padre of old San Antone |

Mighty Mallam of Minna I heard the whispers of the breeze I saw it turn into the blowings Of a great wind In my childhood imagings Wondering at the happenings We met the coloured midget When we made our childish appearance Nurtured by an Adam With an ardent mission We watched the midget evolve Into an enviable goliath The noble strides of a giant intellectual Turning a coin into a fortune The midas touch of a positive puritan Grooming a mustard seed Into a mustard field The tale of the iconic guru The living legend of functional education Raising nascent golden generations Honey combs that become mountains of honey Of legacies of heroes and heroines Of visionary legends and conquerors All hail the grey-haired sage All salute the mighty silent potter All admire the mighty Mallam of Minna All hail our indefatigable colossus All hail our very own Baba All doff our hearts for Papa All hail Father our very own O’Connell 4 Likes |

That was service indeed. You read some of these things and sometimes begin to think it might be better to just emulate them without dying in our so called churches. Well gathering of the brethren the bible say we should not ignore. Thank You Sir for this great seed you have sown. May God almighty crown you accordingly. Rest in Peace Sir. |

Father was a great priest and principal. He thought me English back then at GSS Minna. I remember going back some years for my original WAEC result and he was able to identify me to my last name, I was shocked to my bones because I was the quiet type and i was not even a prefect in my time. He dresses like his students in similar colours to the school uniform. He had such a lovely soul. Rest on Father... 2 Likes |

Rest on with the Lord Fr. O'Cornell. This is a man that dedicated all his life and services to humanity. He never cared about earthly things. He is an embodiment of humility. We will miss you greatly. Adieu Fr. O'Cornell 2 Likes |
