Five Years Since the Father's Arrival to Nigeria

The Father landed in Nigeria late in the evening of Thursday 19th July 2018. The excitement of being with him for an entire week in Lagos and Enugu was great.

 For many of us it would be the first time we would be with him. Some families were on hand at the airport to welcome him. From the airport he was driven to an Opus Dei residence in Victoria Island where he would be lodging.

From the following day Friday, his goal was to meet and greet as many people as possible, individuals as well as families. In the first meetings he had with separate groups of women and then of men on 20th July, he was able to hear many lively stories. These first meetings help him rest to prepare for the many activities of the intense and historical week.
