A PORTRAIT OF VERY REV. FR. PROFESSOR HYACINTH EMENTA ICHOKU

Ikechukwu Anthony KANU, PhD
Abstract

The historical evolution of the life of Prof. Hyacinth Ementa Ichoku articulates the peculiarity of a transcendental otherworldly tale of the thermodynamics of the eternal elements of providence and sustenance. This particularity is defined, unlike the inferno of a revolution, by a motion beautifully formed by a swaggering gait, transmuting the retinues of life's fundamental forces into an edifice that would stand the test of time. This edifice is Prof. Hyacinth Ementa Ichoku, an edifice we attempt to describe its various dimensions. His life's definition was captured several years ago by Abraham Lincoln: “With malice toward none; with charity for all; with firmness in the right, as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in”.
