At the thanksgiving reception, speaker after speaker extolled the virtues of the newly ordained priest of the Methodist Church, Ada Ugo-Ngadi, describing her ordination as one that was long overdue.
They said that Ugo-Ngadi was deserving of the new religious office even as one of the attendees narrated how she helped sponsored church building projects and several evangelistic outreaches, irrespective of denomination.
“She deserves this ordination because she loves God and always supports the work of God,” the attendee, who does not want her name in print, said.
The attendee further described Ugo-Ngadi as a woman of repute, whose investiture was symbolic especially in an era where religious titles are, used as a mere decorative veneer.
“The onus now lies on Ada Ugo-Ngadi to prove skeptics wrong by being a true reflection of the new office which she has been trusted,” the attendee said.
Commenting her ordination, Ugo-Ngadi said it is the beginning of a new era in which the support of family and friends will be deemed indispensable.
