IHEJIRIKAisBOKO: The peaceful co-existence in Yoruba land transcend the religion, Yoruba land and the Yorubas are the most accommodating of all tribes, i equally stand to be corrected. The advance civilization of the Yorubas can easily be traced to be responsible for this. The sharp division and the hatred among the Igbos is also beyond the issues among the churches. Even among the very same family, in politics, business and mention it. Hates runs in their veins. Guys this your moniker is suspicious. 2 Likes |

NLPsychologist:Good one,let me state this categorically,gone are the days when the head of the church is divinely appointed...its m ore of a political scene nowadays,hence the disagreements.....and u have to know that politics is also involved in the church,it all depends on ur definition of politics......who the people decide is the one that will rule them,and thats just about the best solution to all........and the fact that some other people accepted theirs doesn't mean that its the norm,the said person may have been with them and they liked him......don't be surprised that they may allow someone from another place to oversee them,it all depends on their choice |

IHEJIRIKAisBOKO:LOL.... Abeg come Adamawa State, apart from d Fulani people n its dialects, we have d non fulani which are referred to as Kabila. Kabila are the majority in the state, dominating all LGAs. In a Kabila family, u can find 1st born to be a Xtain, 2nd to be a Muslim, grand parents both Muslims bt parents are Christians. Adamawa is unlike Yobe, Borno, Gombe n others wia an attempt to defect will cause ur life. 1 Like |

cruzyteejay: Its Ok. But are we going to improve on ourselves or ride along with the tide of corruption and degeneration of values? Know that if continues its going to bear more ugly children...and these children when they start rearing their faces around the communities, l hope the blame will not fall on the zoo. This is why people shouldn't be quick in assuming all who criticize Igbos hate them. When it is time for Yorubas or Hausas or Yahoo-yahoo people to be on the spotlight of criticism, they will all face their respective times on the spotlight. This is important so everyone will not depart from sanity. Condemn whoever deserves it! But be wise as a serpent, and harmless as a dove. |

cruzyteejay:The truth is bitter to swallow. It doesn't change the fact that there is disagreement among the Christian folk over there. As a matter of fact nollywood produced a movie of that nature called Christian marriage. YouTube will assist you on that. |

It's pure madness on the part of those misleading the youths. I have so many Mbaise friends that care less about whether their Bishop is from Mars or Jupiter but some clannish politicians are the ones fuelling the madness. This further alienates them from their neighbours and other Igbos. |

"Therefore, I ask that every priest or ecclesiastic incardinated in the Diocese of Ahiara, whether he resides there or works elsewhere, even abroad, write a letter addressed to me in which he asks for forgiveness; all must write individually and personally. We all must share this common sorrow. In the letter 1.one must clearly manifest total obedience to the Pope, and 2.whoever writes must be willing to accept the Bishop whom the Pope sends and has appointed. 3.The letter must be sent within 30 days, from today to July 9th, 2017. Whoever does not do this will be ipso facto suspended a divinis and will lose his current office. This seems very hard, but why must the Pope do this? Because the people of God are scandalized. Jesus reminds us that whoever causes scandal must suffer the consequences. Maybe someone has been manipulated without having full awareness of the wound inflicted upon the ecclesial communion. To you brothers and sisters, I would like to express my sincere thanks for your presence; and also to Cardinal Onaiyekan for his patience and to Bishop Okpaleke, whose patience and humility I admire. Thank you all". (Agenzia Fides, 09/06/2017)" ....Pope Francis. http://www.fides.org/en/news/62436 |

Ichietome: Your postulation is rather misleading. In societies such as the "universal" catholic church and indeed other large sects and human communities and groupings the head of the organisation does not appoint the Bishop or other leaders by divine guidance as are wont to believe but rather through recommendations that may or not be wholesome. These appointments are usually a direct reflection of serious manipulationsand scheming which may come in the form of lobbying, politiking, bribery and even blackmail. The Ahiara episcopal debacle has haunted the catholic church for not a few years now. Bishop Okpaleke was foisted on the people of Ahiara by His eminence, Arinze who is a first class prince of the church and whose prodigies/prebends have benefitted from his share of the universal largesse as distributed by the oapacy to its faithful through its hierachy. It was an unfair and very disparaging eventuality. Mbaise is one of the most populous catholic domains in Nigeria. They deserve to have their own Bishop especially considering the their contribution to the church and its evolution. With over 600 priests, surely there has to be one qualified or favored for that position. This grandstanding by Arinze and his cohorts is to the detriment of the church in Ahiara. Howrver the church in its characteristic "wisdom" will adopt a no victor no vanquished approach. Comoromises will be reached and the matter will die with no loss of face to Ahiara or Okpaleke or his mentor Arinze. |
