Just fund raising in Catholic Church you are complaining chimamanda.

I have been to one Pentecostal church where members were asked to clean the shoe of the pastor thereby taping from his grace with 50k each.

Always speaking her mind. Being a notable person makes people to pay rapt attention whenever you have got anything to say. Weldone chim baby!

An intelligent, elegant and beautiful woman. The way she calmly and articulately expressed herself even when rightly upset is just lovely! It’s something everyone, myself included, should learn.

She reminds me of this verse, Jer 20:9
Sometimes I tell myself not to think about you, LORD, or even mention your name. But your message burns in my heart and bones, and I cannot keep silent grin

It's not by force to be Catholic.

The Catholic Church cannot change her rules because of one insignificant member.

Sadly but she is right. some of the churches (catholic) today is so far from what it use to be. Yes, as Catholics we are barred from criticizing the church openly but then we need to checkmate our excesses before things go completely out of hand.
I use to tell people and even now i will still argue it in strong terms that in the Catholic Church we don't pay tithe, a lot of the so called fund raising are so irrelevant.
I hope somebody is reading this? Dem nor dey fear Malu dey chop e shit

You must be a Catholic from another planet. The Catholic church will always abadon the 99 and go after the lost one. Some of these so called protestant converts will just be talking anyhow.
When the church was what it was you can even have your bishop visiting your neighbourhood, several times i have seen this, bishop Burke will walk with his legs to Agbassa. In the Catholic church everybody is important

I was going to say this exactly!!

I’ve NEVER been forced to give anything in church. I know that when they see notable members of the community they go into emergency launching, they do it to my family every time we are having an event. But that’s how they raise money at the communities?

Unlike in the cities people give reasonable offerings. In the villages they only see money when there are visitors attending an event.

I think she’s a querulous person. She needs to reel it in!!!

I can relate with her pains. But that is one of the ways to get that money you have not been giving to the church before the burial. People take care of that church everyday while you are in the city. They sweep, dust, wash toilets, buy petrol for gen, cut grasses etc. The only thing abroad people (city) come back to do is burial. They come with their friends and enjoy the good environment in the church and take off. The next you will see them in that church is when another relative dies. This is very unfair to enjoy where you did not contribute, being that you have more resources than the people that are chipping in pennies and dime on weekly bases.

Someone would argue, burial mass is not the time, and I say to you, catch them at any other time if you can. I am familiar with some of the ways Catholic churches in the village operate. Sometimes, whenever they have lunching and fund raising, they do distribute envelopes and invitation cards to catholic families for donations but most of them are never returned. Ask Chidinma how many times in past has she returned an envelop from the church? She cannot deny that she has never received one as an adult child from a catholic family.

The fact is that nobody forces anybody to donate.

Religion is the foundation of modern democracy and tolerance in the world without religion you won't have this arrogance you have.

Aside raping little boys is not what all Catholics do. . It's what some people in Catholics church do. There is a difference. Tell the truth right. if you are accusing people of malevolence, try not to be in part people you are accusing.

She is definitely not insignificant.
You don't know the full extent of her global popularity.

If she starts a public verbal campaign against the Catholic Church, the pope will feel it.
