I have been happily married for 45 years to Josephine Ofie Egbuonu (nee Ukpo), and we live together in Bristol, United Kingdom. We have five grown-up children and seven lovely grand-children. I am an active member of St. Mary-on-the-Quay Catholic Church Bristol, wherein I am a Lay-reader and a Catechist.
My interest in Christian Theology was kindled in 2004 through a poster from Wesley College Bristol (affiliated to the University of Bristol) inviting applications from people interested in Christian Religious Studies. On verifying the authenticity of Wesley College as a designated ecumenical centre for Christian religious studies, I successfully enrolled therein, in 2004. What for me started as occasional studies soon grew into a full B.A, degree course in Theological Studies. At the end of my second year (in 2006), I was up-graded to commence the M.A. course in Theology and Ministry, which I completed successfully with distinction in 2008. Thence, I was admitted by the University for an M. Litt degree in April 2009. My M.A. dissertation had explored the relationship between Scripture and Tradition in the Documents of Vatican II’s, Lumen Gentium and Dei Verbum.
I have not always been a Roman Catholic Christian having begun my early life, first, as an Evangelical (C.M.S.) Anglican; then as a Methodist. Although I was married in the Roman Catholic Church, I was received into the Catholic Church only in 1981. I became a convinced Catholic through my active participation in preparing my children for the Sacraments of First Holy Communion and Confirmation, and by attending Mass regularly with them every Sunday.
The methodology of my postgraduate studies involves intensive qualitative research programmes and techniques, which I had cultivated, firstly, as Pfizer’s Pharmaceutical Marketing Manager (in Nigeria) where I had conducted several prospective marketing research programmes, and secondly, during my M. A. Degree course. My earlier professional life and work experience was in Pharmacy, a profession I had practised for almost forty years before I came to Great Britain.
Since I retired from Boots Limited in 2009, I have been fully engaged in postgraduate research studies leading to the successful defence of my M. Litt thesis and the writing of three books on the socio- political situation in Africa, and Nigeria, in particular. These are titled: The Nigerian – An African Statesman Unfulfilled; How to Transform Nigeria into a Fulfilled African Nation; and A letter to Ndi-Igbo: Needed, edifying and crucial Attributes.weniger sehen
