Fiery Catholic Priest, Fr. Emmanuel Obinma popularly called Fr Ebube Muonso by admirers has called for peace, unity, respect for Traditional Ruler and Elders in Nkwelle Ezunaka Community.
He made the call at Fada Ebube Muonso Family House, Ilo Uruebo, Nkwelle Ezunaka of Oyi Local Government Area, Anambra State during the Fada Ebube Muonso Salary Scheme Christmas Get Together and sharing of Christmas gifts to beneficiaries and less privileged where he gifted bags of rice and tomatoes (food stuff worth millions of naira) to about 280 aged persons up to the age of 70 years and over 700 widows and less privileged persons.
Speaking during the event, Fr Obinma advocated for unity and peace in Nkwelle Ezunaka saying that no community can move forward without peace and love.
"I am pleading for peace in Nkwelle Ezunaka. Peace brings progress.I am not happy with what is happening in Nkwelle Ezunaka my home town. I love my hometown, Nkwelle Ezunaka.
"I grew up in Nkwelle Ezunaka where I saw our fathers drinking from one cup but today it is no longer so, things have fallen apart. It is very painful that such unity which our fathers enjoyed is no more.
"Eschew evil, selfishness, bitterness, hatred, intimidation and all forms of wickedness. If you embrace God and goodness it will come to you.
"How can someone destroy or vandalize the community Town Hall, tear down Igwe's banner and insult our traditional ruler. Now there will be no place to stay for Nkwelle Ezunaka Community annual General meeting come December 26, 2025, yet some people are defending or supporting such impunity which is highly condemnable and could attract jail term.
"I urge Ndi Nkwelle Ezunaka to have respect for elders and our Traditional Ruler. Always tell your children the truth,teach your children decency and respect, be steadfast, focused in the Lord, be diligent and you will go far in life.
"As Nkwelle Ezunaka is preparing for Town Union elections, it should not be a do or die affair, let the will of God and the voice of the people speak," said Fr. Obinma.
Earlier in his homily, Fr. Obinma's Christmas message to Nigerians and Christians all over the world is that they should uphold the love of Christ. "The seed of Christianity is that Christ came into the world for a purpose to die that we might live.
"Nigerian leaders should lead after God's own heart. Let them be conscientious, know that God has entrusted the lives of people in their hands and put smiles on the faces of the people.
"God has been good to us and blessing our people. Please if you have give to your neighbor around. Share the little you can with people around to alleviate the sufferings and hunger in the society.
"I am happy to see our elders who are up to age 70 years and above who have been under our salary scheme under the auspices of Ochiora Foundation my Mother. For about 14 years now we have been sharing this Christmas gifts and lifting the burdens of the poor masses to alleviate poverty. We would do everything to ensure you live longer for us. We are going to eat and dance together today. In the spirit of Christmas, you will receive double salary today," said Fr. Obinma.
In his remarks, His Royal Highness, Igwe Sir Obiora Anachuna (Igwe Orazulunye of Nkwelle Ezunaka) eulogized Fr Ebube Muonso for his generosity and good heart towards people especially, the less privileged and aged urging other Indigenes who are well to do to emulate Fr Ebube Muonso's Philanthropy.

"He has given many scholarships, Today over 4000 bags of rice was distributed today with entertainment. I plead with people to extend and share love and gifts with neighbors no matter how small, I will do mine on Wednesday.
Oguefi Dr Sir Vicalis Nwakobi, Bishop Daniel Nwakobi, Hon Chukwunachi Okoye in their separate speeches advised people to emulate Fr Ebube Muonso's Philanthropy and do more than he is doing.
