FreeStuffsNG: The catholics got to onitsha shortly after the Portuguese made contact with Benin in the 1460s..........the catholics predated Crowther by at least 200 years but the slave trade must have killed their missions! 4 Likes 1 Share |

Onitsha is the headquarters of Catholic and Anglican churches in igboland because Onitsha was the first place the western education and Christian missionaries first established and headquartered and from there they went hinterland of igboland 3 Likes 1 Share |

Facidio: If not for the Catholic church, most Igbos alive today would have either been dead or not born due to the Civil war. The Catholic church's contributions to education, health and childcare support in Igboland is too much for them not to have special status in the East. Most of the best primary and secondary public schools in the east are run by the Catholic church, they also run the largest orphanage and childcare centers in the east. Now tell me, what has Oyedepo (or whatever you call him) done for easterners? Schools run by the Catholic church in the East are highly affordable, same can't be said of the schools run by Oyedepo and his church. 4 Likes 1 Share |

This university building is too substandard and will be very cheap. Let me go online and apply for my children. At least one won't spend much money here |

WizardOfNG: Very Much A Smart Dummy Is it the igbos fault Nigerian gov doesn't know how to decentralize institutions ? Even to answer the question.....why do Nigerians troop to Lagos, you can't even tackle honestly. I despise grown men liars. Such a despicable trait Nigerians are not coming to Lagos because it's Yoruba land. Much to your chagrin ๐ 3 Likes 1 Share |

Unbiased1: Stop generalizing bro The effect of Catholic dominance was only in Anambra, orlu part of IMO and some parts of Enugu But mostly Anambra! You will hardly see a Catholic man from Abia, also igbo speaking part of rivers, owerri zone of imo state, ebonyi (especially afikpo axis) are largely Anglican, Methodist, Presbyterian and protestant, Ngwa people on there own are largely Adventist from okezie, to Alex otti e.t.c and that's why Clifford university exist in that axis, the also have numerous of secondary schools and motherless babies home within ngwaland, the remaining part of Abia, rivers,imo e.t.c are not Catholics Catholics is only predominantly in Anambra, orlu imo axis and you can feel there impact there. Except orji uzor kalu Who grew up in northern Nigeria I have never seen anyone or any Popular figure from Abia or my side in IMO that's a Catholic 3 Likes |

Anambra1stSonTV:Smh. Those you condescendingly regarded as "minorities" even had exposure with western civilisation earlier than our Igbo brothers and sisters who as at independence in 1960 were still living in unclothedness and covering their body parts with leaves. Here's George Masden's "Among The Ibos of Niger" historical account of the colonial era Igboland with the people walking naked. The pictures of naked people of the Igboland of that time are there in the book. Btw, George Masden is a British colonial official o before you think he is Yoruba too https://archive.org/details/amongibosofniger00basd/mode/1up?ref=ol&view=theater. As at this time when people use leaves to cover their body in Igboland, Yoruba people in Lagos, Ibadan, Ilesha etc were already driving cars going overseas for further education etc while a 'minority' community like Calabar already had the Hope Waddell Training Institute. The Yoruba actually brought christianity and civilisation to Igboland. You should be grateful.
