Getting promoted from a canon to a bishop first happened before my very eyes in 1989, when P.J. Akinola was elected first bishop of Abuja diocese. From there as eventual primate, late Simon Bala was elected bishop of gusau as a rev can in 1999 or so. Rev Can Johnson Onuoha was elected bishop of arochujwu ohafia diocese in 2005. In the north, it's very common to see quick promotions of this nature. You'd as well witness revs and rev cans acting as supervisory priests of archdeaconries.

fergie001:
The Church has three orders: Deacons, Priests and Bishops (Every Priest from the Primate down falls within these three).

Archdeacon to Bishop is the normal hierarchical route, however, the Bishopric upwards is an elective position. Priests are ordained, Canons are preferred, Archdeacons are collated, Bishops are elected and later consecrated. In the Diocese of Lagos West, Nigeria's richest and most competitive Anglican Diocese....every available vacancy for Bishopric will most likely see a Venerable from there get a slot, but not in the mother Lagos Diocese (for some reasons I won't explain here)

A Revd Canon is still far off to becoming a Bishop...


Again, the dynamic of that new Missionary Diocese is also a factor.

It's a Missionary Diocese, that's why.
He is most likely from that place.

What sort of name is Chidimma Vanessa Onwe Adetshina

Is there a reason she is south-Africanizing all her names. Removed the n in chidinma and added a T to her last name.

Even Satafrikans are confused at the names, but she is more beautiful than 99% of the so called Satafrikans.

EmperorCaesar:
For positive stats, when the SW is right there at the top, we get to hear how the huge Igbo population helps to boost that

On the other end, when it's negative for the SW, no one remembers how the huge igbo population adds up to the real SW numbers

If I say logic no dey work with them for SE, una go think say I too talk
