Cleric charges Kanu to seek God’s face always By Ben Duru correspondent, Owerri Those planning to enter into married life have been advised to seek the face of God as well as reassure themselves that they are ready to face a life where there is no going back. The pastor of the Presbyterian Church, Aladinma, Owerri in Imo State, Dr. Kalu Ugwu, gave this advice on Saturday at the wedding of the former Arsenal player and one of Nigeria's most prolific strikers, Kanu Nwankwo. The Anglican Bishop of Owerri, Dr. Cyril Okorocha and his Methodist counterpart, Dr. Monday Nkemakolam, assisted Ugwu, who led the service. He said once a man has married any woman, both are bound to live together for the rest of their lives and only death can separate them. He said having taken the marital vows before God, nothing on earth can make them part ways and that it was now incumbent on them to live as one body in Christ. The cleric assured that the church would continue to pray for Christian brethren so long as they remain good to themselves, explaining that it is easy to please God by doing what he wants them to do. He said both of them must come to the full realisation that "Whatever God has joined together, nobody can put asunder." The couple is advised to always seek the face of God in everything they want to do and ensure that they do not think they can do anything on their own. Dignitaries at the church service included the Deputy Governor of Lagos State, Mr. Femi Pedro, Special Adviser to President Olusegun Obasanjo on National Assembly Matters, Senator Florence Ita-Giwa, wife of the Senate President who represented Mrs. Stella Obasanjo and President of 10th April Organisation, Prince Osita Opara. After the church service, the couple moved to the Imo Concord Hotel. A large crowd trailed his marriage train waving and cheering. A combined team of mobile policemen, regular police as well as men of the Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps ensured that the couple had a smooth ride till when they alighted from their 'open-roof convertible. Not less of than 20 inaga (motorcycle) operators out of the hundreds that provided service as dispatch riders were injuries as they collided with one another. Most of those who received serious injuries were rushed to the hospital, while those with slight injury merely received first aid and moved on.       Copyright� 2002.
