You are sick in the head. Why igbo dominate a Yoruba parish with their song that most people doesn't know. Can Yoruba dominate a parish in imo talkless of engaging in Yoruba song? That's why we can't trust this 5% people with power because they always feel entitled and bossy.
How is it a Yoruba parish when majority of the members are Igbos? You are just talking nonsense.

Why do they actually bring all these unnecessary divisions
Honestly, I don't just understand. They have no other job but to just lead people to Christ and give comfort to the needy, but they delve into matters that are of irrelevance.

Lagos is not Yoruba land


It is your way. I am sure it is the same way you would declare Accra, Joburg and Nairobi "no man's land" also if your excesses are not curtailed in those Cities.

Meanwhile Anambra that is your SE pride, in 2 million years, will never resemble a decently cosmopolitan centre of living as all other major Nigerian States are.

Yorubas Christian's should be careful not to end up like Yoruba Muslim are in Nigeria Islam today

What has this got to do with Yorubas shameless bigot.

Is Rev.Fr.James Anelu Yoruba? You just proved his point when he talked of the "excesses" of Igbos.

Even on Nairaland, you guys are the major nuisance, full of hate and insult, we have here.

Abeg face the fact that most Nigerians despise Igbos and stop linking Yorubas to the bad rep you have with fellow Nigerians.

The Rev father is not smart at all.

Without the Igbos in Lagos, Catholic Church is dead in the state.

The Yorubas are mostly Muslims and Protestants.

According to Wikipedia, 70% of Nigerian Catholics are igbos.

Wherever they are, their first aim is how to dominate.

This is why they shouldn't be entrusted with power.

Check what Aguyi Ironsi did just few months he was a ruler.
Check those court martial by Ojukwu during the civil war, non of them are Ndi Igbo.

Check what Azikwe tried to do in Southwest (by representing the region upon the numbers of literate mind among Yorubas) before Awolowo cornered his mischievous move

Check those killed and spare by Kaduna Nzegu and Owaboshi.


They're just pretending, give power to them and be a victim of their vengeance
The fear is real.

Ndigbo must be appearing in your sleep every night.

You have a morbid fear for Igbo domination.
And that's why this country is a failed nation.

There is always the option for all of you Igbos to move back to the SE and remain there.

That way you will be away from Nigerians who "hate" you and be able to build your Biafra paradise exactly how you want..

Simple solution for both sides.

we are not leaving.. I'm coming back to Nigeria to buy a house in lagos this year.. tell me if you re ready to sell ur leaking grandfather hut..so u can move to badagry or ikorodu

Lol. Can you Igbos ever act educated and refined? So you have a crystal ball to read beyond what is written to somehow link Yorubas with this?

Father James Anelu has a problem with Igbo "excesses" and somehow it is Yorubas that put him up to it?

You Igbos will never heal to be better loved and accepted by fellow Nigerians because when Nigerians complain of your "excesses" the first thing you do is attack them and point fingers of blame eslewhere. Preferably at Yorubas.

I think the priest should be checked mentally and not just suspending him! I believe that something is wrong with him mentally. A parish that you are the one in charge, even if you feel there are somethings you want to be adjusted...you don't come to the alter to say something like this. You are in charge so you can easily speak to the chore master anytime within the week about the type of mixed songs you want to be hearing during mass but booom he climbed the alter and was boldly making a derogatory comments. The truth is that all blacks especially Nigerians are racists on their own....so much hate and evil among Nigerians, no exception
You are very correct. He went about it the wrong way, and it's because he had other biases against Igbo tribes.

When I used to attend church regularly, our GO then was an igboman from Imo state. He often met with the choir to appeal to them to always try and balance the songs.
That he didn't want his church to be colored Igbo church but a church for all Nations.
He was doing this to carry along non Igbos in the church, not because he doesn't know that him as the head being Igbo would naturally attract more Igbos to the church.

Truth is, I loved that church then firstly due to my perception of their Igbo leanings the first day I stepped foot.

Anambra that already have 4 major Cities, Onitsha, Nnewi, Awka and Ekwulobia. You need to travel more and stop typing from your village in Osun to claim Lagos.IGBOS are blessed.They dominate everywhere they go,that's why they are hated by other tribes.
