You mean Enugu people are inferior to Anambra people?
I'm ashamed of idiotic and moronic people like you.
This shitty stuff is the main reason why Biafra as a country will only be in existence only on papers.

FlirtyKaren:
The Catholic Bishops Conference of Nigeria have rejected Father Mbaka’s apology to Peter Obi, which the controversial priest issued after an embarrassing episode with the PDP Vice Presidential candidate. 

Catholic Bishop of Enugu, Most Rev. Callistus Onaga who relayed the stand of the Catholic Bishops, stated that they rejected Father Mbaka’s apology to Peter Obi because it was no apology but apologetics that did not comply with what they directed him to do.

Speaking during the weekend at a diaconate ordination mass celebrated at the Holy Ghost Cathedral, Enugu, Onaga, under whose jurisdiction and supervision Fr. Mbaka’s Adoration Ministry Enugu operates said; 

“Before we met Mbaka, he had already apologised to Obi but when we listened to the apology, we realized it was no apology but apologetics, so we mandated him to do a written apology to Obi which he agreed to do and actually did it in our presence.

“He was remorseful and regretted his action. We believe he would do the needful by sending across the written apology.”

The Catholic Bishop who noted that Fr. Mbaka is gifted but should not allow himself be led into disobeying the directives and authority of the church, bemoaned the deep involvement of clerics in partisan politics and further stated that priests of the Catholic Church must not make political prophecies or endorse any politician or political party.

The bishop who also warned that priests were becoming meddlesome even in matters that does not concern them, added; 

“I urge you all to pray for Fr. Ejike Mbaka. This man has added value to the church through his work. I have on several occasions told him that he is gifted but we must not allow anybody railroad us into disobeying the directives of the church. I therefore urge you all to pray for him so that the church can maximize his gift to the glory of God.

“I have heard such cases in some community where the contention was that the priest said that a certain person or the other should be the traditional ruler of a community and the community was in crisis. This is beyond your mandate as priest. Priests are not king makers, just preach and pray for them and let the counties run their affairs. In the same way, we should also allow politicians to play their politics and steer clear from the endorsements of candidates. Nigeria operates a democracy and not theocracy. We must therefore be mindful to preserve the integrity of the Catholic church.”

Mbaka is from Enugu state thereby making him an inferior Igbo, he should tender a proper apology to Obi who is by the way of a superior Igbo stock.

you are of an inferior goat stock.

Imagine what you just typed. That is why even in your Biafra, some sect will still be marginalized. No wonder the south south don't want to join you.

The trap got you. He/she was trying to indirectly insult the Igbos and you aligned yourself with his or her baseless misconceptions and mischievous statement. The person behind that may not be an Igbo person so take similar stuffs like this with. Pinch of salt.

If u think the catholic church is being political by trying to put a leech on the mouth and actions of their priest... Am sorry to tell u the obvious truth.... Ur vote is inconsequential... At best a waste...


You're just a daft who lacks what to type...

To err is human, to forgive divine. All people commit sins and make mistakes. God forgives them, and people are acting in a godlike (divine) way when they forgive.


FYI, as individuals, we all have one vote per person, by the time you sum up votes of people like me who reason better than you do, you know what that means.

Hmmm! I don't understand what they mean by rejecting his apology. The same medium he embarrassed Obi was the same medium he apologized to him. The most important thing is that he has apologized.

Most Rev Callistus Onaga has done the needful. By that singular action many Protestants would understand the uniqueness of the Catholic faithful.
I hope that Fr Ejike Mbaka would learn his lessons. I am aware that H.E Mr Peter Obi in his meekness has not or did not lose sleep over the incident. I trust that Fr Mbaka's apologies ought to have been well received and that His Excellency will not be deterred to support the building projects if he makes up his mind on the actual amount he afford to donate to that effect.

By and large, everyone is learning from the incidents.

No one cares about how you see anyone, your sight is not a criterion for knowing who is Igbo or not.
keep how you see anyone to your eyes alone.
