Why Can't An Igbo Catholic Become A Pope? by RockHard: 10:25am On Aug 13, 2023
I'm a proud ibo catholic from Anambra but I keep wondering why we the igbo catholics continue to play second fiddle to the Italians. When will an iboman be allowed to become a Pope at the Vatican?

It's not as if italians brought Christianity or Judaism to iboland (check the bible and you will see and confirm that we ibos are descendants of Eri the son of Gad who was one of the sons of Jacob from his concubine as mentioned in the bible). We ibos were practicing Judaism and Abrahamism before Italians even heard the gospel.

But what I don't understand is why I, as an Iboman can't venerate and decide to worship my own ancestors the same way the Italians do to their ancestors whom they call 'saints'? I also don't understand why Imolites rejected Bishop Okpaleke to preside over and lead them in prayers when he was transferred to Ahiara diocese in Mbiase. Are we truly a conquered people? Why are we always inferior to the white catholics? Even within Nigeria, ibo christians behave inferior to Yoruba christians. Our mumu no too much so?

Could this inferiority complex be the reason why the Obi of Onitsha, Ikwerres, and some Anioma ibos feel ashamed to identify as ibos?

Sometimes I feel ashamed of identifying as an iboman because it's so shameful how we constitute the largest population of Nigerians locked up in foreign prisons.

Just look at how Simon Ekpa and his Ipob touts flog our parents and kids over Sit-At-Home noncompliance?

I would like NL members to proffer a lasting solution to this fiasco because it's become such an embarrassment to us ibos as a people.

An OBA was disposed by a "VISITOR" who became an EMIR, and is a Foreigner (Not Yoruba). grin

When are you going to dispose the EMIR and return a Yoruba OBA? Very Simple question...and you are busy answering stupidly as a certified dundee. grin

Yoruba Muslim, Igbos can be a pope. In fact, an Igbo man, cardinal Arinze almost became a pope. Igbos are just a fraction of global Catholic that number in billions yet we were so close to becoming a pope despite having less than 3% of global Catholic population!

Now compare that Nigeria were Yorubas are forever banned from ever becoming a sultan! Yorubas have up to 30% of Nigeria's Muslim population yet you can never become a sultan! Aren't you supposed to be ashamed of that?!

That's why I love Igbos, they're proud and have self dignity. If it's Igbos that have such huge Muslim population in Nigeria, you can't ban them from becoming a sultan, the way Yorubas were banned.
