Olodo. Documented history tells us the part every side played.

Now tell us who is responsible for the civil war you Igbos continue to blame Yorubas and Hausa/Fulanis for till today.

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.

MyopicMods:


Sad as it may Sound, Onitsha is not Igbo land and has never been.

Newton85:
He's a boring priest because he doesn't want the non-Eboes in his parish feel left out? How can your people be rendering services exclusively in Eboe when there are non-Eboes in the same church? Does it make any sense to you?

Dsalvo:






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'.

Newton85:
The real marginalization happens amongst you people. How do you want a non-Eboe Catholic to feel when you guys are rendering services exclusively in Eboe when the church isn't an Eboe church in the East?

Meninmen:


If you were not mentally deranged, you would have recognized that there is no where the post supports your baseless accusations about Edo people hating igbos. How did Edo people even come into this matter?.
The priest said that was how an Igbo man became a priest in a parish in Benin. Does that not signify you that Edo people don't care about tribe for allowing an igbo man to be their priest?. Edo people hate igbos but they allowed an Igbo man to become their priest. Does that make any sense to you?

It is this character that has made your tribe the most endangered tribe in Nigeria. Hausas/fulanis hate igbos. Yoruba hate igbos. Ikwere people hate igbos. Urhobo people hate igbos. Now Edo people hate igbos. Always claiming victim.

Osagyefo98:


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.

There is always the option for all of you Igbos to move back to the SE and remain there.

That way you will be away from Nigerians who "hate" you and be able to build your Biafra paradise exactly how you want..

Simple solution for both sides.

Dsalvo:


Lol. You Igbos make me laugh with how you always defend your kinsmen blindly. He did mention Yorubas. Distastefully and divisively as well. Below is his original anti-Yoruba comment I responded to that led to the post you quoted.

The mods have now removed his offensive comment below but I quoted it already. Maybe you people should start looking at how you wrong others instead of defending yourselves bkindly and clannishly.

How old are you? What is Eboe, or you think it makes you smart? You are sounding so stupid

Ordinary English comprehension you cannot grab, oya go to school, you refused


Where did they say the Church delivers service in Igbo?


Even in my Church where majority of the Choirs are Yorubas, they even sing more of Igbo songs than Yoruba songs and the Parish Priest nor the Zonal Minister who are both Yorubas haven't made a complain about this, in fact our Zonal Pastor always say it boldly that he is half Igbo, that even though none of his parents are Igbos, that he strongly believe that he has an Igbo blood and true to his words, one of his daughters married an Igbo guy


So be dulling yourself hitting your empty hand on a fully loaded moving tipper

Newton85:
Shut up and stop wailing, bloody hypocrite. What James Anelu has done is what you people also do amongst yourselves. Didn't Imo people heavily protest against Peter Okpalaeke from being their Bishop because they said Anambra priests are dominating their own church in Imo State? Hypocrites!

Newton85:
Well, I can't blame the Benin priest Anelu. He just doesn't want Eboes to Eboenize his Parish.

Newton85:
Eboe is Eboe.

Newton85:
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.

Newton85:
James Anelu is right. Eboe excesses must be checkmated in his church. I fully support him.

TheNiceGuy:

Yes, it's Igboland.

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

Lol, you're talking about a Catholic church in Imo or Abia allowing Yoruba or Edo songs or separate service? You're going too far bro. Have you forgotten how the people of Imo State heavily protested against Anambra priest Peter Okpalaeke from being made a Bishop over them in Imo state, just because they felt Anambra priests are dominating them in their own Catholic churches in Imo State?

The thing is, when Eboes cry about certain treatments from other ethnic groups, just believe they do worst amongst themselves. They'll cry about political thugs harassing voters in Festac as an attack on Eboe voters in Lagos, but won't talk about how Ngwa people threatened to kill all "Ndi Ohuhus" (non-Ngwas) in Aba if they voted against Okezie Ikpeazu. Ngwa people even placed coffins across many places in Aba just to threaten their fellow Eboes. I don't take their tears seriously.
