You don't know politics. The catholic bloc is a political institution.

They are very active in political election in SE
Not true.
For example, Ebonyi is also overwhelmingly Catholic but only Elechi is catholic among d three people that have ruled Ebonyi.

Later now, some dundees will be acting as if the only religious division is Christian vs Muslim.

Una go talk true cool
But at least,they don't go about beheading each other like the Sunnis do the Shias all over the world.
How many times has your president machine-gunned shias in Nigeria?

My anger is that the Catholic Church is very docile in Nigeria.

They should not only be flexing muscle in Anambra.

Nigeria should be their playground. But it seems we have cowards for Bishops in Nigeria.

In Congo, the Catholic Church is a dangerous and feared bloc.

A Catholic priest is the current president of São Tomé and Precipe.

But The Catholic Church in Nigeria is so cowardly for my liking.

Only when bishop Mathew Kukah issues a statement they will queue behind him.

Christians are going extinct in the North yet they have not spoken up.

I hate cowards.
I can only imagine the opprobrium if someone said this about Sunni or Shiite Muslims...

Catholic priests don't go into elective posts,hence you will be excommunicated.
Ask former Benue governor.

About 7 out of 10 people in the states mentioned are catholics,catholicism does not play any major role in the elections,it just happens that majority of the contestants are catholics
Don't mind them, people vote who they think they are the best

This write up is funny, to say that mbadinuju was not allowed re- election because he a pentecostal is ridiculous. How can anambrians election someone who couldn't pay workers salary and school was closed for one year??

The Country with a Priest as president is Seychelles, and not São Tomé and Principe.

And the priest is an Anglican priest and not a Catholic priest.

It’s necessary I clarified this for the sake of those who might take my comment as their authority.
Manuel pinto da Costa was never a priest.
Who was the priest that is ruling sao tome and principe?

Politics is a game of numbers. Instead of the other denominations complaining and hoping the catholics will hand them power, they should work on convincing other catholics why their candidates are better options.

Peter Obi created the deep denomination divide you see in Anambra today.
Re: Anambra 2021: Aspirants Play Religious Card by descarado: 5:57am On Apr 26, 2021
Pentecostalism don't work in anambra and igbo land in general. In the cities, people may attend Pentecostal churches but whenever they go home, they will go to Catholic or Anglican. I think in a way, because Catholic and Anglican allows one to practice his culture and tradition, igbo people are comfortable with that. Unlike Pentecostal that will ask you to forfeit everything you are and follow one man's teaching all in the name of born again. Just very few. Bishop Mike okonkwo was only popular outside igboland.

By the way, people should go to each state in igboland and get the denomination stats.

Catholic church docile in Nigeria? You don't know what you are talking or you think it's by acquiring private jets and performing fake miracles /talking too much?

This sentiments were started by the Anglican Church in the state, they are always fighting and keeping grudges against the Catholic Church there.

Which religion? Have u ever hear about sub tribal fight in Ibo?
No matter what difference those guys have they must make sure they deal with it without letting outsiders like u come in. I know if God should demand u request 4 1 thing he must do for u, u will tell him to wipe out Ibo race. Stop hating and expecting that Ibo would one day become like Northern Nigeria..u see that name JESUS? No body calls it and get ashamed.

Maybe Enugu or Imo but certainly not Anambra..

Most of the Catholics are not even Anambra indigenes..

Mostly people from Enugu and Ebonyi..

Anambra is at least 70% Catholics... Don't even argue that....Go to your own village if truly you're from Anambra, count the number of Catholic churches there and tell me the number of other denominations you can find...Then factor in church size and population of worshippers knowing that the average Catholic church in the East has at least 3 Masses per Sunday....
Ehhhhhh..

Ignorance is a disease and doing that openly is covid-21 pandemic.

Catholics constitute a whooping 70% of anambra population ,take the Anambra south senatorial zone for example I am very sure there is no religious leader in the zone that is more powerful than his lordship bishop Hilary odili okeke the Catholic bishop of nnewi, of course we all know the story of the South Africa based business man (alloysius ikegwuonu) the one that built a Catholic Church in ozubulu.. then in the anambra north there is no religious institution or leader that is more powerful than the Catholic bishop of Awka same with the archbishop of onitsha (bishop Valerie okeke) ..not forgetting the likes of rev father obimma (ebube muonso).. even father the highly respected fr edeh that built Madonna university @okija, u can also remember the likes of the late fr tansi, archbishop obiefuna ..during festive periods like Christmas and new year eve most of my Pentecostal and Anglican friends do follow me to crossover nights in the Catholic Church.. not forgetting the events of the popular August meeting where Catholic mothers do showcase thier wealth and authority ..the point is that the Catholics are the major inhabitants in Anambra there is no point arguing that even most of anambra indigenes living abroad and outside the states claiming to be Pentecostals still go back to their catholic roots whenever they travel home to their villages
Are you serious.

This Ignorance is more like covid-21 pandemic but when next you lie, do that with decorum.

Because one man built a church, others who have been doing so are not humans.

Also by mentioning Nnewi whose traditional rulers are all Anglicans with its surrounding environment..I give up on your 2021 Ignorance.

it is unfortunate that we allow denominational inclination to see the light of the day in our politics instead of craving for the best hand who has what it takes to put round pegs in a round hole.

Peter Obi created the deep denomination divide you see in Anambra today.
That's what many people don't know. Those saying Obiano made it worse should also acknowledge the person who started it.

During the return of Schools back to Missions. Peter Obi cunningly returned Anglican schools to catholics... That was the initial basis of the friction.

Now it is clear that Anglican was the first to arrive on Niger and so most schools were built by them even outside church Jurisdiction.

So Anglican asked why Obi should return their schools to Catholics, he said he wasn't aware or was not properly briefed.

Though he was forced to reverse it all but that doesn't stop him in creating more catholic school termed public same period.

Your submission is correct, let Obiano not take the whole blame...na his oga start am.
