Praxis758:The father of Christianity in the East is Bishop Ajayi Crowther of the Anglican Communion. If you want to defend the Catholic for immortalising one of those who came after the first Christian missionary work led by a Yoruba man, Bishop Ajayi Crowther, do so but don't corrupt the true account of history and the place of Bishop Ajayi Crowther who brought christianity to Igboland. Hopefully someday, a grateful generation of Igbo will one day give Bishop Ajayi Crowther his rightful place in Igboland. |

NorthernAgender: Bro, let us always praise and encourage our 'developer' brothers over revelations like this . I personally don't mind if all SE States become more developed than Abuja and Lagos. Hopefully Igbos will then stay there and stop trooping to the SW in the thousands daily. It really is deplorable that up to 15 million Igbos reside permanently outside the SE. That is not and can never be a good template for the even development of all Nigeria. All Nigerians should stay in their region and develop it optimally. @OP. Una do well. Please keep it up and even redouble your efforts. |

Chimarto: There are things like scholarships and grants. Universities are expensive..and if this is a private university, the government won't be giving them any money, it has to come from the fees. 2 Likes |

gidgiddy:The first Christian missionaries in Igboland was Samuel Ajayi crowther and his men. For years, they were known as the only Christian missionaries that exist. When shanahan visited Obi Akazue, the Onitsha king asked him the popular question "is the church two"? Before he could finish explanations, he asked him to meet crowther his colleague and sort out issues with him. The land where Catholic presence in Onitsha sits today was given them FREELY by the CMS. Coupled with the introduction of the central Igbo dialect, August meeting etc, the CMS fostered unity in Igboland. Unfortunately, the Irish missionaries didn't toe that line. They literarily imported the Irish civil war into Igboland, causing the denominational frictions which Igbos now fight against. The mission universities springing up in the East are most welcome. 6 Likes 3 Shares |

FreeStuffsNG: My exact thoughts. The Catholic mission arrived the southeast a long thirty years after the Anglican CMS, and the magnanimity of the CMS towards the catholic missionaries was a factor in the fast spread of the catholic faith in the east. Those who want to twist history should go on, but they wont be able to negate the truth. 1 Like |

Bishop J. Shanahan Joseph Shanahan He was given a āsecond burialā. The solemn but joyous ceremony was performed only for the paramount chief , to ensure that his great spirit would always remain with the people, protecting them and guiding them as he had done in Life. Bishop Shanahan (1871 ā 1943) of Southern Nigeria was the only non-Igbo to be afforded this honour. His bones were disinterred and in 1955 were Laid to rest in Onitsha cathedral in the heart of the land of the lgbos. Who was this man so beloved and honoured? Joseph Shanahan was born, the third of ten children of a poor farm labourer in Co. Tipperary, Ireland. His uncle, Pat Walsh, who lived with the Shanahans, left the home in Gortnalaura in 1875 to join the congregation of the Holy Ghost, now called the Spiritans. It was an old French religious order recently given a new lease of life by the dynamic Francis Libermann, a convert from Judaism whose special ambition was to bring the good news of Christ to the peoples of Equatorial Africa. In 1886 young Joe followed his uncle to France where he joined the Spiritans and began his studies for the priesthood. He was ordained a priest in 1900. In October 1902 his lifeās dream was fulfilled. He was on a boat bound for Nigeria. Thirty five days later he arrived in Onitsha, a name that would be forever linked with his own. Shanahan joined a group of French Spiritans who had arrived in Eastern Nigeria seventeen years previously. From the very beginning Shanahan made a big impact. He was big, strong, handsome. He was friendly, kind, energetic. The lgbo people couldnāt but admire and love him. And he served them with every ounce of his being until he returned in 1932. He had served for thirty years, twenty five as leader of the mission. Few Europeans could survive more than a decade in Nigeria where conditions were very primitive at that time. His life is one of the great success stories of missionary history. He was a truly charismatic figure, a man of exceptional courage and vision. He travelled the country on foot, by bicycle, by canoe. He walked boldly in areas where no white man had set foot before. He saw the importance of education and built up a huge network of schools. He recruited missionary priests, brothers, sisters and lay persons for Southern Nigeria. He founded one religious order and was the inspiration behind the setting up of five others. As is the case for all saints, he suffered greatly. He was rejected by his mission and forced into an unwanted and early retirement. He was rejected by the missionary order of sisters he founded in lreland He spent his final years in exile from his beloved Igbos, years of frustration false accusations and loneliness. Today he is seen as a luminary of the Church and of the Spiritans, a wonderful model for all who are called to be missionaries. 5 Likes
