QUAESO MANUS is Fr. Kenneth Agwu's sequel to ODERAA, the autobiography which chronicled his journey to the priesthood. In the same frank and captivating style, in QUAESO MANUS he records with meticulous care the accomplishments and influences of great personalities, classmates, colleagues, family members, mentors, clergymen and lay faithful who have helped to shape his life. Considering that he passed through the hands of over 200 people at various levels of his development and the fact that he cherished each formator in his life, it was no easy task deciding who to include and who to leave out as everyone could not be included in the narrative. But as the two volumes are mainly concerned with the first 36 years of his life, he resolved the problem of how many people to include in this volume by selecting 36 personalities originally to symbolize the landmarks in his life until the elevation of Peter Cardinal Okpaleke to cardinalate altered the plan. Fr. Kenneth Agwu knew his divine calling as a priest and his passion for writing quite early in life and prepared for both with singular devotion. His ambition to be a priest came to fruition with his ordination at Abuja on the 7th of February 2015. In similar fashion, from the day of his appointment as President and Editor-in-Chief of the Journalism Club in the first year of Senior Secondary School at Our Lady of Lourdes Secondary School, Azuebonyi-Idembia, Ebonyi State, his passion for writing has not diminished. He continued to write even through seminary and the university and later honed his skills with a Post Graduate Diploma from the International Institute of Journalism, Abuja. This flair for writing and journalistic prowess are both expressed beautifully in the quality of writing exhibited in this book.
