Faber: And to this day, Ahiara RC Diocese has no bishop. Long may the status quo remain. May you be uplifted to the highest and loftiest position like Okpaleke even as your enemies - like Ahiara Catholic diocese - remain stagnant. 6 Likes |

OLULAW: Amen. The worst is yet to happen to Ahiara RC diocese. There are feelers the diocese may be suppressed, that's closed . Then it becomes a Titular See. Though it can be reopened by another Pope . 5 Likes |

Arysexy:Don't mind that guy. It was obi that rescued that man from the hands of those people. A new diocese carved out specifically because of him( though ekwulobia diocese has been on the pipeline but was hastened to accommodate the Bishop) He was rewarded for his stewardship and faithfulness. Imagine disgracing a Bishop. One good thing I like about Catholic church 4 Likes |

Faber: You are absolutely correct. Mbaise people were right in rejecting him. Arinze is the guy putting his men as bishop all over. Don't be naïve to think that nepotism does not exist even in same community. Mbaise is made up of 3 local governments with the highest concentration of catholic priests per population anywhere in the world, but none has made it to bishop cadre. Amuzi Ahiara Ahiazu Mbaise, one of the over 40 communities in Mbaise has a population of about 2500 people with more than 30 priests in the 90s when I was growing up; my father used to head one school there. At that time, those Amuzi priests were heading The Dominican fathers, The Holy ghost fathers and one other catholic denomination I can't remember. (Fathers Otibe, Father Ndugbu, Father Ekechukwu. Mbaise are some of the most educated people in the world, not even Nigeria. Ojukwu declared Biafran independence in Ahaiara Mbaise, there is a reason for that. Mbaise are fearless people and don't have time to stomach injustice. Maybe that is why people that love injustice hate them, and love to spread fake stories about Mbaise people. 1 Like |

36STATES: Mbaise are very very stupid to think that way. The first Bishop of Ahiara , the Late Bishop Victor Adibe Chikwe, is he not from Mbaise? They should have allowed bishop Peter, let's approach the things of God in a godly manner, Peter would have brought his own ingenuity to develop the rural Ahiara diocese. The first Bishop of Umuahia, Nwedo was from Imo state, the second Bishop of Umuahia, Ugorji also from Imo state. Did Umuahia people scream marginalization. Is Mbaise people more learned than Umuahia people that produced the likes of Aguiyi Ironsi, Michael Okpara, OUK, Nnamdi Kanu, T.A Orji, Umuahia people smartness no be here, yet they accepted Bishops from other areas The first Bishop of Orlu, Ochiagha was from Mbano, that's Okigwe zone, did Orlu people scream marginalization. There is Bishop Amatu from Anambra State in Okigwe, Okigwe people accepted him. Okigwe diocese is more developed than Ahiara in all aspects. There are close to 8 local governments in Okigwe diocese, yet they approached it, the way it should be... All over the World as far as Catholic church is concerned, there are particular dioceses/cities that are Episcopal powerhouses in each particular country. The Archdiocese of Munich and Freising in Germany, that produced Pope Benedict XVI are one of Germany's Episcopal powerhouses, they produce more Bishops than others. The Patriarchal see of Venice in Italy that produced Pope John XVIII dey produce Bishops woto woto for Italy. There's nothing like marginalization in the things of God. Archbishop of Benin City is an Igbo man. Did Benin people pursue him? Mbaise and Edo people who tear eye pass? Former Archbishop of Lagos Cardinal Okogie is from Benin City. Archbishop of Abuja is from Jos. Former Archbishop of Abuja, Cardinal Onaiyekan is from Kogi state. Bishop of Minna is from Anambra State, Former Bishop of Enugu, Bishop Gbuji is from Delta State. Bishop of Sokoto is from Kaduna. He no dey gree make Sokoto people rest. Yet they accepted him. A bishop from Abia state is Apostolic nuncio in far away Nicaragua. Another Bishop from Anambra is papal Nuncio in Costa Rica. Another one from Imo state is in Benin Republic. Did Benin Republic people pursue am, that he is from Nigeria. Among all these people na Mbaise wise pass abi? you people messed up full time. This is not political post. We are talking of the things of God. The thousands of priests you people produced, by that singular act made them unbelievers. Ahaira Mbaise needs to be re-evangelized, Una never receive the Gospel. 13 Likes 3 Shares |
