ImperialYoruba:


I dont give a fck if you are Yoruba or Hausa, an Italian Maria can be displaced in honor of a sitting President. The Governor made that choice. Stop crying over it.

Go to VI in Lagos, all the streets and boulevard used to be foreigners, some are still, but many have been replaced to honor home grown politicians. Ribadu Rd, Ozumba Mbadiwe Rd, Awolowo Rd, Adetokunbo Ademola Rd.

Go to Kano and see Church Street, Ibo Rd, Yoruba Rd, Niger Rd, Port Harcourt Rd.

Go to Ibadan, go to Abuja, go to Kaduna.

Why is Ibos always making noise and demanding exemptions from rules that others follow without complaint or noise?

9. For the avoidance of doubt, the Catholic Church is not opposed to naming ALL the roads in Owerri after His Excellency, President Muhammadu Buhari, if the will make the Imo State Governor happy and help his political aspirations, BUT it can never be the Maria Assumpta Avenue. Therefore, the reaction of the Church has nothing to do with politics or even Islam but simply the preservation of its own Faith and heritage.

ImperialYoruba:


I dont care if its German Orthodox or Greek Orthodox...it is not Nigerian, period! We need Nigerian name on that street.

Should we change Nnamdi Azikiwe street in Lagos to Oba Akiolu Street?

You guys should let go of your ignorance for once. Drop this possessiveness about your region and givr to others in your house what you demand when you go to theirs.

ImperialYoruba:
You all should calm down right now!

Maria Asumpta is not a Nigerian. Mohammadu Buhari is a Nigerian. Be patriotic please and calm your nerves.

HeyCorleone:



You're already assuming I'm a senseless tribalist like you. Unfortunately I'm not. I'm not even Igbo, I'd let you know.

My own is there is no reason to change it. Quite needless and very provocative. You're attaching unnecessary tribal and racial sentiments to this.

HeyCorleone:


Maria Assumpta is not someone's name, rather it's Latin for "Assumption of Mary".

HeyCorleone:


Maria Assumpta is not someone's name, rather it's Latin for "Assumption of Mary". That being said, changing its name has nothing to do with patriotism. You don't seem like someone who's well informed if not you'd have spotted out that fact since.

It goes beyond all doubt that it was that Church that created that avenue and made it what it is today. The name it bears is hence deep and shouldn't be subject for discussion in the first place.

The manner at which he's doing it is also wrong. Fine he's the Governor of the state, but he's also coming into confrontation with the largest religious sect in the world, and by that I mean the Roman Catholic Church. I don't think anyone has had any issues with the name prior now, and I don't think anyone ever will. He should negotiate this thing.But it'd be of no use tho'. The Church can never allow such inanity take place. For Chrissakes it's a freaking Cathedral there. The Avenue is not just a street leading to the cathedral but rather the very entrance.


Changing the name to something which is uncatholic, unchristian, untheological, and unreasonable is totally uncalled for.

That is very commendable from OKOROCHA the next senate president of the Nigerian senate from 2019

ImperialYoruba:


You whine about other's hatred for you but look at how much love you show others.

They named a street to honor your President and you are complaining about an Italian Maria. Is Italy the origin of Christianity?

Get lost!

It was the great Napeoleon Bonaparte that said 'When an idiotic enemy is making mistakes to destroy himself it would stupid to stop him."

Rochas should be allowed to destroy himself.
