It's understandable. Wikipedia stats show that 70% of Nigerian Catholics are Igbos. It should be more than that. The church is very popular among Igbos.
every igbo man is catholic including me who is now a pastor. what happes now is when grow up some of us decided to change to any churches of our choices. even some of us might sill go back when we finds out that the said catholic is better.

Stop making this argument. You are comparing tribes that cannot fill up one state with those who filled up an entire region and still have significant numbers in the South South. In fact, you will rarely see any Catholic parish in Nigeria without Igbo people.
Who told you those Tribes can't fill a State. sad

The TIVs are the 5th largest tribe in Nigeria, behind the Ijaws.

In Benue State, they have 14 LG areas to themselves.

Stop Denigrating other Pple other Tribes.😏😕

No be lie o...

I recently left the East. There are more catholic churches there than other churches..
As large as the Roman Catholic church population is, when you come to the number of churches, leave it for Redeemed Christian Church of God. In a street, you can have 2 or 3 RCCG branches/parishes

You need to leave your enclave honestly.. Why comparing Catholic Church with Redeem ?

Redeem churches and branches are 50k(Maximum)globally, while that of Catholic Church is more than 400 k globally(Minimum)…

Mind you, I respect Redeem very well, but comparing it with Catholic Church is ridiculous.

Note, that a Catholic Church can’t have a parish if they are not upto five thousand attendees (Minimum)before a church is constructed and qualified to be a parish, unlike Redeem that can just name a building with less than 1k people as parish..
And lastly, every Catholic Church conducts mass three times for different attendance each parish on Sundays, while that of Redeem conducts only one service every Sunday each parish ..

Redeem influence begins and ends in South west Nigeria..

Catholics have more parishes than Redeem Globally, and also more populated as well

This is not news because Igbos are the face and pillar of Christianity in Nigeria.


Without Igbos in Nigeria, Christian population in Nigeria will be less than 25%.
Igbos are the face of Catholic you mean

Video of the prayer of the faithful in Igbo language at the Pope’s Christmas Vigil Mass yesterday at the Vatican yesterday, December 24.

One of the intentions during the Prayer of the Faithful at the Christmas Vigil Mass celebrated last night by Pope Leo XIV in St Peter’s Basilica was read in Igbo language, recognising input from Igbo members across the Catholic Church worldwide.

An Igbo couple also joined in carrying the gifts to the Pope during the Eucharistic Procession.

Nothing new here! Igbo is used in parts of the mass all over the world........especially Igbo songs and hymns!

Normally Igbo language is universal na.

It's one of most widely spoken language in the world 🌍
Igbo iis not even on the first 50 list in the world. Only Nigerian language on the list of the first 50 is Hausa, 27th on the ranking list.

You are an expert at deceiving yourself..

Infact I do not even consider Cheribum and Seraphim and CCC that are Yoruba churches Christians.

Don't ever mention RCCG when Catholic is being discussed in terms of numbers even with their small parishes at close proximity. Catholic will never allow a parish until stringent population requirements are met

Well, it's madness to migrate relentlessly to a place where you are hated. It does not add up.

Now That's wha we are taking about..... The Igbo language is a religion itself ... When u commute with ur God in Igbo language, it's like u are on a whole new dimension!!!

I'm waiting for Saudi to adopt Hausa or Yoruba language when they are performing slamming of head Gigs

Yorubas have moved beyond serving a Jewish God as dictated by Rome or London. They have founded the best known indigenous Christian denominations in Africa for over 100 years now. Haven't you heard of Celestial Church, CAC, Cherubim and Seraphim Church, Deeper Life, Synagogue Church, Winner's Church, Redeemed Church, Mountain of Fire etc?
Yoruba people when they want to practice Christianity at all amongst other religions they do it their own way not the Roman or British way and they follow what the scriptures say.
All churches are scam so long as they're praying to an imaginary ghad.
