“I live a life of prayer. And as you can tell (from my neckpiece), I belong to a Franciscan Society.
“At some point, I wanted to be a monk. But I changed my mind. I can do more good by interacting with people. I intentionally let my beards grow out. With the obvious attention, people want to interact and ask questions. This makes it easier for me to evangelize and remind them that ndu anyi di nkenke”
Lexicon Analysis: “ndu anyi di nkenke” translates to “Our lives are brief”. It is translated from Igbo- a major African language spoken by over 32 million people with celebrated artwork dating to over 2500 BC
