Here is Fr Onuorah's response:

I have never communicated with Fr Hewko, Fr Ruiz, Fr Vargas since I was born till today.

Meanwhile, there are no politics in Nigeria, just good honest priests who have discovered Tradition and broken with the revolutionary Church of Vatican II to quietly pursue their vocation of glorifying God and saving souls just as their forefathers in the Faith have done.

They have recognised in Archbishop Lefebvre and his work the faithful continuation of the Church and have been retrained by one of his faithful sons in Fr Juan Carlos Ortiz, and conditionally re-ordained by Bishop Thomas Aquinas OSB and Bishop Morgan. They cooperate with the other faithful African priest of note, Fr Pierre Celestin Ndong who is based in Gabon.

Here is Fr Onuorah's latest communication from just a few hours ago:

Good day my dear brother... hope you are fine today. This is the level we are at the forming of the gallery decking with the planks/boards and bamboos. It is moving gradually. By the grace of God by next week they will start putting the rods on top of the decking. Thank you so much for your donations which have kept the work moving.
God bless you.
Fr Joseph Onuorah

Please help with your prayers and donations if you are able. Details on how to donate can be found earlier in this thread.

This is Father's message from only yesterday before we sent him some emergency funds:

Greetings in Our Lord Jesus Christ my dear brother... Hope you are fine today. We remain grateful for the December donation. I am very sorry for bothering you with this. With the donation you sent on 31st December, 2025 we continued the church building work for this year. From the N774,470 naira you sent, I bought 135 pieces of planks/ boards for the gallery decking at the cost of N393,900; I bought 100 pieces of bamboos for the gallery decking at the cost of N130,000; I bought 35 bags of cement at the cost of N367,30. The money has just got finished. Already I bought about 78 lengths of rod on credit at the cost of N736,800. And there is no money left to pay the workers presently, and they are working every day. We will still need more planks/ boards, and about 200 bags of cement to cast the decking and the beams of the gallery decking. I know that it is extremely difficult now. But having started this stage of work, I really do not know what to do. We may eventually stop work after this week until God provides.

Sounds like he only needs 20 people to donate $50 or 100/$10 to pay what's on credit and a week worth of labor.

It would be wonderful if we could find 100 people to donate $5 a week.
But when Ladislaus kindly set up the crowdfunding page to make this so simple, we hardly found a handful of donations.
I have to admit, I was surprised there were so few.
Please God these posts will touch some hearts.

Below are the latest photos showing the current state of the church construction. From Fr Onuorah:

Happy feast of St. Agnes my dear brother ... Hope you are fine today. These pictures I sent you is the level of work today at the Church gallery. The iron bender has started forming the beams with iron rods on the decking boards. After forming the iron rods of beams then we enter into forming the decking mat with the iron rods on the decking platform

Please jump on board and help us build the church. There are very, very few helpers... God will not be outdone in generosity.
