My Life And My Commitment:The Autobiography Of John Okwoeze Odey
Bad politics and corrupt leadership have turned Nigeria into a land of misery, reduced millions of Nigerians to subhuman conditions in their fatherland and are spitting out monsters that will devour our children in the future unless some drastic measures are taken to arrest the awful situation. Rev. Fr. John Odey’s refusal to keep silent in the face of this disturbing phenomenon, the callousness of our ruling elites and the destructive effects of their criminal proclivities has severally brought him to a head-on collision with the agents of the powers that be. But in spite of the daunting societal odds staked against him, he lives with the unwavering conviction that since evil carries the seeds of its own destruction, the triumph of truth and justice can only be delayed but not permanently suppressed. My Life and My Commitment, written to mark the 25th anniversary of the author’s priestly ordination, is therefore not only a gripping autobiography of a Catholic priest who, having been nurtured by his humble family background, grew up to understand the predicaments of the poor and the less privileged, but has also chosen to trek the difficult path of playing a prophetic role in a society where truth and justice are the first and the last casualties. It is also a comprehensive summary of the state of a nation where leadership failure has dared God and traumatized the people by turning their abundant blessing into an unmitigated nightmare, leaving the nation on the brink of total self-destruction. It is the chronicle of the author’s extraordinary courage and unyielding struggle to stem the tide of that self-destruction and change the course of his nation for good. It is a must-read for all those who wish Nigeria well and those who love truth and justice.
