The Bishop Anyogu - Chapters

OUTLINE

“….for my New Year resolution-, I want to serve God all my life. I want to be a priest.” John's father Jacob, a devout Catholic and native cotton merchant, hurried to the mission in Onitsha and asked Irish missionary Shanahan if a black man could be a priest. 'Why not?' said Bishop Shanahan.  'Has a black man not got a soul?'  Those lines that guided the destiny of a 12 year old native African born in late 19^th century Victorian colony of Nigeria.

TITLE: The Bishop Anyogu – Prince of His People

AUTHOR:  Marie Otigba

ONE-SENTENCE DESCRIPTION

This book tells the story of a 12 year old colonial Nigerian boy who would need Divine Providence to guide him throughout his unrealistic quest to become a Priest in England and Dublin with the Holy Ghost Fathers' order- after inordinate tests, trials and tribulations, he receives an OBE from her Majesty the Queen to be confronted with the 1967 Siege, Starve, Storm and Annihilation war strategy against 20 million of his people.

This book is written in a popular, conversational style. It’s easily accessible to those who do not know much about the religion, yet the book’s message is theologically accurate, historically and culturally informed. 

The chapters include contemporary real-life documented experiences and stories of precolonial cannibalism and wars and real letters right up to 1967 20^th century events.
