Yes, it's Igbo land.

Ndi Igbo and transgressions


Wherever they are, their first aim is how to dominate.

This is why they shouldn't be entrusted with power.

Check what Aguyi Ironsi did just few months he was a ruler.
Check those biafra soldiers court martial by Ojukwu during the civil war, non of them are Ndi Igbo.

Check what Azikwe tried to do in Southwest (by representing the region upon the numbers of literate mind among Yorubas) before Awolowo cornered his mischievous move

Check those killed and spare by Kaduna Nzegu and Owaboshi.


They're just pretending, give power to them and be a victim of their vengeance

"Victim of their vengeance"... So u do agree that something has or is being done to the igbo people?

I don't know why an average Edo state man has so much hatred for Igbos. They go about on Facebook and Twitter creating all forms of attacks on Igbos.

Even a priest has transferred same to a church in Lagos. You just dey hate people wey no send una...I tire oohhh





Meanwhile, my attendant In foreign churched is solely based on Sunday issues.


I can't he holier than the Archbishop.
Was it the "average Edo man" that heavily protested against the imposition of Anambra Bishop Okpalaeke in Imo State?

That you are vengeful does not make your vindictiveness justified. It is just another proof of the unreasonable mindset of Igbos.

You go around insisting others have wronged you and then carry bad belle for them till eternity.


For example, all Igbos want to get even with Yorubas and Hausa/Fulani for their civil war humiliation. Yet who caused the war?

It has now moved from politics to religion, soon people in sports will start complaining about that particular etnic group and their excesses.
Most of us grew up with them in our midst free minded till we started moving out, working and thinking for ourselves to realize the "excesses" of that tribe most people complain of. I doubt if any catholic church in Imo or Abia would allow Yoruba or Edo songs or seperate service. They always abuse every position of power they get to project their tribe on others not minding the reaction of their hosts.

If you're so hated why are your people still moving to regions that you're hated. Shouldn't you and your people still moving to Eboeland enmasse to avoid living with people who hate you?

There is definitely more to this story than we are reading.
I don't think the Priest can just wake up one day and say such a thing for no reason.
Even if his reason is "unreasonable", did the Parish members try to resolve the matter with the Priest?

It's sad though that tribalism is loud in the church too...#sigh

The Rev father is not smart at all.

Without the Igbos in Lagos, Catholic Church is dead in the state.

The Yorubas are mostly Muslims and Protestants.
Must you bring Yorubas into every nonsense that affects you people? The priest James Anelu isn't Yoruba so why bring Yoruba into it?

I think the priest should be checked mentally and not just suspending him! I believe that something is wrong with him mentally. A parish that you are the one in charge, even if you feel there are somethings you want to be adjusted...you don't come to the alter to say something like this. You are in charge so you can easily speak to the chore master anytime within the week about the type of mixed songs you want to be hearing during mass but booom he climbed the alter and was boldly making a derogatory comments. The truth is that all blacks especially Nigerians are racists on their own....so much hate and evil among Nigerians, no exception
YOU JUST SPOKE MY MIND... HE DEFINITELY NEEDS MENTAL CHECKS.... HE COULD HAVE QUIETLY CONTROLLED D KIND OF SONGS TO BE PLAYED DURING MASS BY JUST ONE SINGLE PHONE CALL TO THE CHOIR MASTER... NOT GOING TO THE ALTER TO PROMOTE HATE FOR OTHER TRIBES....ITS WELL O

The part in bold is always being levelled at "unreasonable" Igbos universally be it Accra, Nairobi or Joburg.

Igbos will always shout when Yorubas insist their excesses in Lagos is constituting a nuisance to others. Thank God this Priest is not 'Afonja'.
What are these excesses you talk about?

Lol. Can you Igbos ever act educated and refined? So you have a crystal ball to read beyond what is written to somehow link Yorubas with this?

Father James Anelu has a problem with Igbo "excesses" and somehow it is Yorubas that put him up to it?

You Igbos will never heal to be better loved and accepted by fellow Nigerians because when Nigerians complain of your "excesses" the first thing you do is attack them and point fingers of blame eslewhere. Preferably at Yorubas.

I dint read were the person you quoted mentioned yoruba or any tribe. Na wha o!

I am forced to comment. I am not saying what this priest has done is right but I can understand a bit of what he is saying. Banning is the solution rather ways to foster harmony among all tribes in the church should be sought for.


I for one, I am a catholic but going to church in Lagos has been very discouraging. I have attended a mass where the priest was practically giving sermon in Igbo. Most priest especially those from the East forget the term universal when they mount the pulpit. It’s actually discouraging when at a mass all the Igbo people are laughing over what a priest has said and you just sit there lost. If you are not Igbo sometimes going for mass is no use. Just find the readings and stay at home because you won’t enjoy mass. I am not Yoruba either but I know of a church that has Yoruba mass and others in English. So maybe having an Igbo mass strictly for igbos would help.

True, the hate is too much. Imagine Imo people protesting against Anambra priest Peter Okpalaeke from being Bishop in their state. The hate is just too much.
