Can Yoruba man be chairman of Islamic counsel of Nigeria?
Can Edo man be chief Inman of any mosque in the North? That is how politics revolves around religion in Nigeria. It is not about tribe. Bible says that the heart of man is insatiable.
Even in the present Nigeria, when you hear North , some states is more north than others.

Wow Wow Wow....what a poor analogy....yeah we all know the Country is greatly divided along ethic and religious lines but to see that Intra-tribal divisions is now slowly safe in is a big deal.....and being championed by our almighty BIAFRAN citizens is another TIME BOMB....

Imagine a Biafra where the problem of intra-tribal sentiments is the order of the day.... I have said it times and over, dividing this country won't solve any of our problems...we'll all be surprised to see that every problem associated with Nigeria will be found in evey new independent federating units.

Forget the jibe I threw at Igbos...the problem is pervasive.

Discrimination within the church. This is too bad.

LogicStatement:
Hey! That means another civil war will start from the church. Cardinal Anthony Okojie from Edo state was the Archbishop of Lagos for so many years and heaven did not fall. In fact, the Yorubas accepted and respected him as their Shepard and he turned out to be one of the best bishops any Yoruba state ever had

Infact he's now a Yoruba man, well his mum is Yoruba....once you settle in with Yorubas and show some loyalty, they'll take you as theirs....The reason you'll see Igbos wih chieftaincy titles in Ibadan.

after resigning, will he go back to his former diocese? or no longer a catholic priest/

MXrap:
Hehehehe


Cursed people. Do you know that Onitsha was the first place the Catholic and Anglican missions first entered in the East as a whole? Do you know that Arinze was the first Cardinal in whole of West Africa to be ordained Cardinal by papacy? Do you know where the first President of Nigeria came from? Do you also know where the first Oxford product in Africa came from? Now you know why you guys from Imo state are cursed useless people.


[s][/s]

You see why i said you are so dumb!!! Jezzz!!!i refuse this 'dumbness' for my worst enemy. Who's is talking about first whatever. I am saying that a state you called cursed has produced more educated rev fathers than any other and you are talking sh**ts. Please get enlightened.

mrvitalis:
Cardinal arinze told a lie and took a fake priest to Rome

I know that when we are hateful human beings we ought to find every irrational reason to give for our infantile hatred. But don't you think that most of the stupid lies you are spewing here is getting seriously puerile and shows a bit of your foolishness?

bonechamberlain:
that diocese should be excommunicated and all priest against okapleke be sacked. what nonsense. this is tribalism at its peak, and this folks would blame buhari

Supported.

tete7000:
And where is there no Jesus Christ? A Church that has existed for more than 2000 years or the one you attend that has not probably witnessed any change in its leadership? People like you can delude yourself.

An organisation that has lead many astray through another gospel for 2000yrs. Thank God for Martin Luther, whom He used to bring back the true gospel of grace.

mrvitalis:
Tell cardinal arinze mbaise can't be intimidated
He can do that with other places not mbaise

Call us any name you want

If you think it's OK for cardinal arinze to appoint over 5 bishop from awka with less than 500 fathers

While mabise with over 700 and over 80 waiting ordination to have non then you are worse than the devil

is it about, having the highest number of priest, you people are trying to bring unnecessary sentiments into nothing, Rome is in Italy, all popes must come from Italy, if we are to go by ur logic. u are trying to bring in tribal and ethnocentric politics into the church. having an mbaise bishop won't change anything in mbaise, nothing. mbaise can never be more powerful than the catholic church. since almost all the priest are against the decision of the papacy, they can form their own church and appoint a bishop of theirs.this is unbelievable.

I would have taken you serious if you attend the Lutheran Church but the fact that long after the man first rebellion, many of people like you have gone to found other churches despite your claim to Luther's heroism show that you are just a bunch of confused people.
The last time I check, Jesus never said the church won't go through crisis, he only said the crisis won't overwhelm it. While Jesus himself was alive, one of the twelve he chose betrayed him. Could it be that Jesus didn't pray well while he chose his disciples? Maybe he wasnt open to the spirit of grace?, using your language. The answer is left for your like to answer.
The church led people astray; for over a thousand years, until one Luther came all the people have been going to hell. What a dumb way of thinking.

If there were no injustice the pope would have excommunicated the diocese. But the pope saw the facts and decided to accept the okpalaeke's resignation. Point of correction, not all pope comes from Italy. The last pope is from germany, the current one is from south america.

Please I advice if you want to comment on issues ask questions on what you don't understand. Aba diocese is facing the same challenge and they are watching ahaira diocese how everything is unfolding. If that resigned bishop is from ebonyi state or bayalsa the people will not complain.what is holding aba diocese after the lost of the formal bishop to death since 2014. Those it mean the diocese don't have priests to be made bishop. The Pope is not in Nigeria but have representative of whom will have his own interests and who ever he sent to Rome Pope will accept him.is not wrong that people state there mind.

Cardinal arinze should know mbaise can't be intimidated

If you give us an Hausa bishop we won't worry but from Awka is a no no

Awka can not have 7 bishop with 300 priests while mbaise have 700 and zero bishop

We won't take it

Obviously the Pope has found out he truth and asked him to resign

It is a known truth that the Catholic faithful's pray to Mary more than God and his Son...

Your rosary contain more hail Mary than hail Jesus.
The organisation is built around Mary

NORSIYK:
How come all bishops in anambra state are all from anambra. what happened?
I need an honest answer please

Who feed you this lie? Please carry out your research

How is that your business? Why cry more than the bereaved? Have you found your way to God before making yourself judges over matters beyond your knowledge. Aproko kills, beware!

who says Catholics don't practise cultism?

like mbaise people like Rochas.....wot a shame!

y always IMO?

mrvitalis:

Tell cardinal arinze we won't lick his poo

Cardinal Arinze will be long dead while the actions of mbaise people will still haunt them for like ever.
Whatever made you guys believe your own lies will lead you all to destruction.
Your pagan priests told Cardinal Arinze appointed his brother as your Bishop and you believed them. If you had bothered to check, you will find out that Cardinal Arinze is from Onitsha Archdiocese precisely Eziowelle in Idemili north of Anambra while Bishop Okpalaeke is from Awka diocese.
Onitsha archdiocese have enough qualified priests who are directly related to Cardinal Arinze if he really wanted to impose his brother (assuming your imposition story is true) he has enough to choose from.

what do you know about this story, before u play ur blame game, find out y this unusual act happened. don't sit on the fence balance ur argument. dia is more to it.

MXrap:
Chukwudi have you gotten an Mbaise bishop now? Have they made your fellow useless Mbaise the bishop? You guys shall never produce bishop. Mark it somewhere. I spit on you because this is why your life is still miserable. Mbaise bastard.


[s][/s]

If defending imposition is what makes me a bastard them am happy

Our last bishop was an mbaise man and as the law dropped a list of people to take over from him
Until one of them is appointed we would reject cardinal arinze

U call my life miserable? Lol self made millionaire miserable?

I'm a realist but anambra impossion won't work in mbaise bad name can't intimidate us oga try harder

oga no matter what happened the decision of the papacy is sacrosanct, the priests have no right to disobey the order of the papacy whom the swore to obey. there is no argument to balance. mbaise diocese is under the Catholic church, the Catholic church appoints bishops, if the priest are tired of being under Rome then can quit, form their own church and elect or appoint their own bishop. whether cardinal Arinze appointed his brother or not, its irrelevant, it has been sanctioned by the Pope, the diocese is bound to obey. you guys are trying to play tribal and ethnocentric politics in the church. don't defend this anomaly.

The souls in the Catholic organisation is my Father's business. Hence, it is also my business.

For your information, I am in God and God in me through the Holy Spirit.
