deukpai:Just to chip in to this interesting thread @deukpai It's NOT about competing with Ibos like you stated. The perception has always been there for decades pre-and-post 1914 about the OVERBEARING attitude of some Ibos who want to be domineering or pushy in a plural ethnic society. Even abroad, some African countries complain about the behavior of some noisy Ibos. Look at the COR Movement or the Calabar, Ogoja, Rivers Movement that existed before 1960, and the call by non-Ibos [Ibibios, Efiks, Ijaws, Annangs, Ejegbam, Southern Cameroons, etc] for them to be separated from the Old Eastern region because of the overbearing attitude of Ibos who filled sensitive positions with their kinsmen. Chinua Achebe himself in a rare moment of clarity stated in his last book before he passed on that "Igbos Are Noisy Exhibitionists & They Lack Humility And Quietness" - Achebe “I will be the first to concede that the Igbo as a group is not without its flaws. Its success can and did carry deadly penalties: the dangers of hubris, overweening pride, and thoughtlessness, which invite envy and hatred or, even worse, than can obsess the mind with material success and dispose it to all kinds of crude showiness. There is no doubt at all that there is a strand in contemporary Igbo behavior that can offend by its noisy exhibitionism and disregard for humility and quietness.” - Chinua Achebe In any event, there are Ibos who have a great deal of emotional intelligence that I've met over the years and they work in harmony with others, but there are these group of uncouth Ibos who put other innocent Ibos into troubled waters through their very careless talk and this can be seen EVEN on Nairaland where some Ibo-speaking trolls have constituted themselves into a nuisance and have offended and fought with many ethnic groups online and offline. |

wealthtrak: Bla Bla Bla Abeg make u no die over Igbo matter. You guys seem to have very different standards when it comes to Igbos. More than half of winners chapel members are Igbos and yet less than 5% of their resident pastors are Igbos. How many times have you seen Igbo’s wail and gnash their teeth in regards to that? 6 Likes

None of what's going on here serves God. God is love. How do we know God's children someone asked Jesus. He replied by their actions will you know. This pastor needs to seek the face of God and ask for repentance. God understands all spoken and unspoken languages and not just that of the Pastor. May God help us overcome our biases and hatreds in Jesus name. Amen 2 Likes |

flokii:It is your first post that gave me concern: You said, "That's because some people don't respect boundaries or respect their hosts... How will you go to a church where the priest is not Igbo, doesn't speak or understand the language and start singing chorus in it. What happened to English or the local language in the area which is Yoruba? I'm sure the non-Igbos there met with the priest to express their displeasure over the turn of events in the church which prompted that statement credited to him. For God sake, people should respect boundaries and respect their hosts." Your post above was my issue and not your eventual response to mine. You mentioned boundaries. Boundaries to God or to man? I asked you what you'd have done if you were the priest and you haven't answered it. You also did not acknowledge that it was a screw up from the priest. There's something called the Laity in the Catholic Church. That's where the issue would've been discussed if congregants felt the one-sided songs was becoming a problem. Come'on! What is wrong is wrong!!! |

Newton85:What do they expect... All they do is noise but when its time for launching and bazaar they go and find igbo man that will seat as father of the day...mostly igbos contribute financially and morally to the catholic church this is very well known, no wonder the catholic church thrives very well in the east and south, you find alot of missionary hospitals, schools and orphanages there even more than they have down west. Let them too go and do same if its easy. So igbos are only good for contribution and not recognition? |
