HUMAN Rights activist and social crusader Comrade Evangelist Vincent Ezekwueme has extol outstanding, unequal and remarkable life of humility, honesty, selfless sacrifices, devotion and dedication to his duties and obligations of Cardinal Francis Arinze as he clocks 90 years, as a priest, bishop and cardinal of Holy Catholic Church. 

Recall that Cardinal Arinze is one of the oldest Cardinal in the Catholic Church, yet very strong, alert, healthy and still very active and alive to his responsibilities.

Worthy of note that, it is a rare gift and privilege from God that at his age, he is very strong, healthier, younger and still celebrates Holy Mass and attends public functions.

 It is on record that Cardinal Arinze was ordained a priest in 1958 at 25,in 1965 at 32yrs he was consecrated a bishop and in 1985 consecrated and enthroned as in a Cardinal. 

He is a repository of wisdom, a shepherd with impeccable integrity and great love and compassion for his flocks, fearless and selfless servant of God and humanity. 

As first indigenous Arch Bishop of Archdiocese of Onitsha, he contributed immensely toward unprecedented spiritual, infrastructural and educational growth of the Archdiocese of Onitsha, especially the establishment of Brothers of St. Stephen and numerous schools and hospitals. 

Our very dear Cardinal as you mark your 90th birthday today I pray and wish you more tremendous good blessings, grace, wisdom and good health as you continue to serve God and humanity through Jesus Christ our Lord Amen. May we all people of God also be reward by God with longevity as we celebrates you and your unprecedented accomplishments.
