Yes it is,
It actually shows that we are thanking God for our diversity. We first had culture before we even became Christians. Christianity does not erase our culture, instead it validates them.

My church even takes it further,
On our cultural day, you are either expected to come with your native food, dress like your village's masquerade or bring a charm.

As long as it is to the glory of God, it doesn't matter.
(1 Cor. 10: 26-31).

Jesus that cannot save himself will save u, Jesus that was nailed on the cross hopelessly after praying and fasting for forty days and night and was not heard will save u. Keep deceiving urself, seriously gone astray, God turn to man and made himself to b tortured and killed by his creatures , he made himself to be sacrificed on a tree by his creatures and his blood washed away all ur sins and if u commit sin u still go to hell and jesus sacrifice on the cross will be useless, wahala da........this is gullible and unaccepted, don't know y people claim to be educated and made fool out of themselves, well Nigeria western education is meant for that purpose,

QUESTIONS

Was Jesus born on Christmas day, or celebrating romans triune gods, basis for doctrine of trinity.
Did Jesus ask u to worship on Sunday?

I am a catholic and shall remain so till death...The only money sent to the Vatican is the one called VOCATION SUNDAY COLLECTION...this is done in all parishes and Dioceses worldwide on a specified Sunday,ONCE EVERY YEAR. This is sent to Vatican and The Vatican in turn sends this money to POOR DIOCESES all over the world like Dioceses in Sudan,Chad,Mali,Burkina Faso,Central African Republic, even to Nigeria especially to the North,Venezuela,Cuba,etc . This is done to help them grow and not depend on offertories. Savvy?

So why celebrate weddings at all in a church?

Same Bible never talked about marriage in a church. It's wholly between the bride's parents. Thru out the whole Bible only Traditional and Court marriage were emphasized.

And wtf is a cultural centre? Your pastor puts on a suit and tie. Isn't it European? Smh. Your hypocrisy is second to none.

Watching this thread, Many of us Christians are gods and Judges in Nigeria.
We seem to know more than a religion that has been existence over 2000years.
We by our own hands imported and refurbished religion to suite our lifestyle and everyone is now the CEO of Christianity.

If Jesus was in Nigeria when he told that angry crowd "let him without sin be the first to cast a stone"

They would have stoned the woman stoned Jesus and look for the men that slept with the woman and stone him too.

Let us be wise and respect each other's believes, our intolerance is why we have divided Christianity and act of Worship so much that it is now a Joke to some people.Nigeria alone has divided the body of Christ so much that it is no longer revered, unbelievers now have so much say because of our guilt. We snoop around choking everyone with our stupidity saying sh it we know nothing of, about other pple to lure them into your own path...thinking we are spreading the Gospel but in the process spreading falsehood and hate and bigotry.
Nothing is authentic anymore and it is our fault.
May God forgive us all.

You have spoken like a true pseudo-intellectual. You claim to know but you are clueless.
NO COLLECTION in the Catholic Church is COMPULSORY. If you feel like paying tithe as a Catholic, you can but no one will compel you, tell you that you will go to hell or become poor because you did not.
Collections that go to Rome are rarities. They only happen once in a while. In fact, Rome give a lot of subvention to a lot of parishes so that they can build the church, pay their staff etc

This isn't a debate between Catholic and Pentecostal.

Please lets entertain more value adding subjects instead of gossip news. Whether you are a civil servants, private sector worker, unemployed or job seekers, newly employed youths or undergraduate, you can do alot as with poultry and livestock production as we advance into the festive period. 1000 prayer points and amen, imam and pastor prayers can not save anybody even if your Imam or pastor spit anointing and fire raw from his mouth. No amount of fetish or ritual can save anybody financially.

No amount is too small for business, with 7k, 10k, 20k, 30k, 60k, and 150k and 700k, you can do alot with poultry, broilers and turkey production business, to include fishery, piggery, etc. for your livestock stocking and practical orientations or lectures, call 09099176956

The guy asking why an African can't be a pope....will any pentecostal pastor in Nigeria die and they will make a white man GO?
That being said, an African can be a pope if he qualifies. We have cardinals , blessed iwene tansi that will soon be a saint. (Nigerian) bear in mind too that, its a spiritual process, but the bad reports from Nigeria clergy gets to the ears of outsiders . so if an African is even made a pope am very sure....most Catholics won't like it even Africans themselves. On that note I charge all u anticatholics to mind your business with ur GO and leave us with our Holy Pope
Thanks!!!!

The money doesn't go to Rome before being sent to poor dioceses in Africa and other poor countries; rather the office in Vatican that's in charge of it makes sure it gets to them.
My grandfather and grandmother went to Catholic schools in the early '30's before they got married and they didn't pay a peny for it. The missionary priests built a church in my village which was from the money sent from Rome.

The Catholic church in Nigeria is mature enough to sustain itself and help grow other churches in Africa. A priest friend of mine was sent to Chad and he's still there helping the poor church in that area. The archbishop of Onitsha sends money to him and other priests there to help in educating and preaching to those people. The money being sent there is part of the money you assume is being squandered in Rome.
Stop criticizing but believe.

There's absolutely nothing wrong in celebrating ones culture and heritage as long as it is moral, doesn't contradict the Word of God and doesn't involve any form of idolatry. No culture is superior to the other and as such Africans including African churches should put and end to this "Colonial Mentality" (Kolomentality) of undermining our deep cultural heritage by preaching heresy such as: God only recognizes white (traditional) weddings in church and not traditional weddings where in most cases Godly prayers are rendered to the couples.
