"I Wept like a Child": Check out This Powerful Encounter When African Pro-Life Leader Meets Jailed Pro-Life Canadian"I just kept feeling so grateful for this amazing woman that not even many people know about, but whose witness is so powerful that I know will be heard of in the generations to come when abortion … becomes unthinkable, and then they begin to litigate us as far as history is concerned." – Obianuju Ekeocha
After all, the Nigerian-born founder of Culture of Life Africa is a pro-life advocate, and like so many involved in that mission, "we've seen it all, we've seen so many difficult things." Indeed, for those who don't know, Ekeocha has sangfroid to spare.

"We just saw each other, and she called me Uju, and something just broke within me," Ekeocha told LifeSiteNews in a wide-ranging interview. "I ran up to her and I embraced her," she said. "As we hugged, so much emotions, you know, just came up within me and I started to weep like a child. This is so very much unlike me." Wagner, "for those who don't know, is a woman, very peaceful, very gentle, and very holy, if I may say that," who has lived "about four years of her life in prison for no other reason other than the fact that she has gone peacefully to abortion clinics, and she has tried to beg women to not abort their babies; she has peacefully offered them roses and pamphlets," Ekeocha explained.
