Cardinal Arinze was the first Nigerian cardinal
No it was late Cardinal Dominic Ekandem. He was created cardinal in 1976 and died in 1995

It has brought numerous developments, that's why Anambra is more developed than your backward state

seunmind44:
has that brought any development to the state or does it have any financial value? Even spiritual value, it doesn't have on the state.

Stop mentioning Lagos. I said that Anambra is like America compare to your backward state that's filled with mud houses and rustic brown roofs. Leave Lagos out of this because it was the former FCT. Let's do the picture competition between your state and Anambra. cheesy

When a southern achieves a milestone on the international front everybody celebrate. Then you hear comments like
Nigeria wins
Niaja all the way
Niaja for life
Gaint of Africa
But If that same southern tries to replicate thesame thing here in Nigeria you here comment like
Ipob's
Biafraund
Afonja
Betrayer
And co..
My people we are the problem of ourselves until we start to reason logical Nigeria won't make any progress... The north has ruled this country more than any other zone yet the north is more backwards yet you will find some northern telling you it most be somebody from my tribe.. No be juju be that?!

Peter Obi is strategically ahead of his opponent in this presidential campaign. What we don’t know is whether he’ll be ahead of them in next year polls… God may Nigeria vote wisely this time around…

You still brought Politics and Peter Giringori Pandora Obituary into this. I hope you will be able to breathe when we humiliate him next year. It's our hobby, we always humiliate idiots

Even if Nigerians are to hold election in Heaven, it will never be free nor fair. So, better accept Peter Obituary's loss in good faith because the election will never be fair.

Useless Catholic religion

And you call yourself a Christian. Even me a Muslim who went to Catholic school will not call Catholics useless. And someone like you will still complain about APC Muslim-Muslim ticket. Does it mean that if Emilokan Tinubu chooses a Catholic VP, you will still complain?

The first set of Christians established Catholism which other denominations came out from, so if you don't believe in Catholism, then go and create your own Religion, this Christianity is not for you.

This Obi is just everywhere, so full of energy, yesterday he had a townhall meeting with Nigerians in Germany, 2 days ago he was in London with Obasanjo and Wike, today he is in the Vatican sad

I don't think Obi is using Nigerian passport. The way he is flying around...how can he procure German visa, UK Visa and Italian Vida within how many days. Maybe he is a UK Citizen by Investment or any other First class country. Trust him to keep that secret.

TWO CARDINALS FROM THE SAME STATE.



NOT More than 5 CARDINALS FROM NIGERIA.




But I think the use of images And bowing down to it Make catholic different Which is against God's commandment .


Also I don't think there is any member of Catholic knight that's not involved with occultist practices .

Also catholic priests should be allowed to marry coz so many of them are sexually active and pretending .

Even in seminary some are homosexualist .

So many things happening but few innocent people ignorantly kept on defending the Church

Dominus Vibiscum!

See as you just dey run mouth undecided

The Catholic Church is a universal church and not just the regular church you see around.
The hierarchy placed is used to maintain order just as your daddy GO has his Asst GO them.

A priest is in charge of his parish and reports to the bishop of his diocese. The bishop inturn reports to the arch bishop of the arch diocese. He in turn reports to the cardinal and the cardinal to the pope.
The pope can't be everywhere like your GO and authority has been delegated down to the parish priest.
If the parish priest can't manage his parish, the congregation reports him to his bishop.

The pope is a representative of St Peter and still carry out the instructions given by Christ before he ascended. Upon this rock I will build my church and the gates of hell shall not prevail. Back then, Peter was seen as the leader of the Christian faithful and he delegated duties to the missionaries in his letters.

We are maintaining the instructions given by Christ until he returns which is always in our Creed.
