Chief Michael Udegbi Ogaranya Holy Cross Repack -

He speaks first of roots—of ancestors who planted their faith alongside cassava, who braided prayer into work and song into sorrow. Then of journeys—of youths who left with bright shoes and empty pockets, returning with stranger tongues and hands that remembered how to mend. Ogaranya’s voice knits the two: a litany, a laugh, a dare. He opens an old wooden chest, its ironwork pitted from rain, and pulls out a bundle wrapped in faded cloth. Inside, relics: a brass rosary dulled by decades of palms, a child's embroidered scapular, a chipped chalice with a hairline crack like a river.
