And don't quote me

sirlop:

My brother, how far. Am also from Ibeku

Obi1kenobi:


No, I don't have to do that as I didn't make the allegation. Why should I provide "evidence" for what I never asserted? It's like me saying you should provide evidence that 2+2=5.

You on the other hand made an allegation that you cannot back up with any evidence. Probably driven by resentment and playing the victim, you basically just concocted the narrative that because an Anambra man from Onitsha diocese is a Cardinal in Rome, therefore all these bishops being ordained from Awka diocese must be the declaration of the Anambra man in the Vatican. And yet, you have no shred of evidence to support the claim.

ObservantFellow:
There is politics in the Church.
This has nothing to do with being Igbos.

Imo State has many priests..much more than you can imagine. Many are learned to impressive degrees. Many who understand the workings of the diocese in question. Ahiara Diocese in particular has produced so many Priests from all nooks and crannies of the country, many of whom are more than capable to run the Diocese.

And the best they could do is appoint 'their boys'..the priests after their own heart..to come take this 'reward' for loyalty.

Please, give to Caesar's what is Caesar's. We are not that blind. We were united when pushing Cardinal Arinze for the papacy because he had all it takes. We can't suddenly go dumb when we have what it takes to run our affairs.

It's not a matter of creating propaganda that Mbaise people rejected priests from Mbaise recommended for bishops. We have had enough from this Nigerian government. Kindly state the Priests names.

sirlop:

U guys should use ur heads., Awka Diocese has 6 bishops all over Nigeria. What is so special with this Awka Diocese?

sirlop:

Ok, sharp. Am from Ibekuta

sirlop:
Appointment of okpalaeke as bishop of my diocese followed an unprecedented error of the first order. First n foremost, the canon law which stipulates the process of appointment of bishops was recklessly abandoned by the awka link in the vatican as against the normal process. Our late bishop Most Rev Dr Victor Adibe Chikwe submitted names of three people which was a norm all Catholic bishop follow every yr. It is from this list that is submitted that The vatican chooses one person incase by virtue of death or retirement of a substantive bishop. In this list, a new yr list nullifies that submitted the previous yrs. Okpalaeke's name was never in the list, it took Vatican 2yrs n two months to smuggle okpalaeke's name into the list. Before this, Okpalaeke had never worked in ahiara dioces either as a seminarian or as a priest. He had never worked in owerri ecclesiastical province where ahiara diocese falls in, the canon law stipulates that a bishop should come within the province or the person must have worked within the province as a seminarian or as a priest. The question is, who smuggled okpalaeke’? Ahiara priests n lay faithful are saying anybody within the province of owerri cud be our bishop but not somebody from far away awka province. Owerri province is made up of Abia state n imo state. Imo has 4dioceses n abia two dioceses which add up to 6dioceses within owerri ecclesiatical province. Due process was not folllowed in okpalaeke's appointment. This has being going in many dioceses. It happened in benin awka province was appointed as bishop, it happened in aba diocese when it was created out of umuahia dioces awka man was appointed bishop, it happened in okigwe dioces, awka man was appointed bishop, it happened in niger state, awka man was appointed. The question is wat is in awka province that other provinces don’t have? The ahiara hypocrisy of appointment has exposed the rot in the system over the yrs n It has oppened the eyes of the Vatican on the politics in the church over the yrs. Ahiara has the highest number of priests in Nigeria n africa if numerical strength is measured diocese by dioces. It is on record that 2 in every 3families in ahiara has one priest. I hav a friend whose two brothers r priests. Ahiara has over 200 priests who are phd holders in canon laws, some are professors in many universities. Two professors in futo are rev fathers from ahiara diocese. Why should some forces play games thinkn ahiara priests and laity r fools

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

mrvitalis:

You can't get to vertican without cardinal arinze

He decides who goes and who stays he is the pope eye in Nigeria

So the only option left was the media and protest

olowobaba10:
IS THAT HOW YOUR DUMB , WOODEN AND PLASTIC BRAIN WORKS? HOW MANY MBAISE PRIESTS ARE SERVING IN OTHER PARTS OF THE COUNTRY AND EVEN OUTSIDE THE COUNTRY? WHY DIDN'T YOU BRING THEM HOME TO COME AND SERVE IN YOUR MABISE?

Ubenedictus:

there was no errors.

the list is usually submitted and the Vatican can chose to use it or not, depending on how qualified the listed people are, the papal nuncio recommendations and if those priest have petitions against them already.

this are reasons they got dropped and someone else appointed in their place.

Obi1kenobi:


Wole Soyinka, Fela, Awolowo, Obasanjo, Abiola, Mike Adenuga, etc are from Ogun state. What's so special about Ogun state?
If you can't demonstrate how those people have manipulated the process in getting ordained, shut the hell up and stop being so bitter.

sirlop:

Oga, your point doesn’t hold water. I don’t even know how to make you understand. Catholic Church follows the Canon law and it stipulates (as amended) that a priest can only be ordained Bishop of a particular diocese if he (the priest) has served in one way or the other in that Ecclesiastical province of which the diocese is under. Okpaleke never served in the OWERRI Ecclesiastical province in any capacity. Y then should he be picked? Had it been they even brought a Yoruba man or an Hausa man that has served, nobody would have objected. We have like 6 Bishop’s from Awka Diocese. Does it not ring a bell? Pls no insults try to be civil. I rest my case.

Obi1kenobi:


I have found no such stipulation and I am 100% certain it does not exist. Else, the Pope and his Papal Nuncio wouldn't have tried to intervene personally to temper the Ahiara rascals. Please, post the Canon or link it here, let us see.

Listen to some of the reasons the leader of the rabble-rousing rascals that call themselves priests gave for their rejection of Okpaleke:
"Okpaeleke is not suitable for Ahiara Diocese. He speaks a different Igbo dialect that would be incomprehensible to the rural dwellers of Mbaise. He is also said to be highly temperamental"
You can read the rest here:

But apparently, even an Hausa or Yoruba man in your own words would have been better. All you've confessed to is the the driving motivation for the recalcitrance is envious resentment. Hence, even an Hausa or Yoruba man being posted to you would have helped assuage your fragile egos as far as it is not Anambra people. What a shame. "Igbo bu otu" indeed.

Edo people were the Archbishops of Lagos (Okogie) and Abuja (Onaiyekan) and the world didn't fall. I guess everyone don't have to behave like the Mbaise touts when they don't get what they want.

Like I said earlier. Learn to be civil. You don’t just call people asking for their rights touts. Read through :http://canonlawmadeeasy.com/2010/07/15/how-are-priests-selected-to-be-bishops/

Can. 377 §1. The Supreme Pontiff freely appoints bishops or confirms those legitimately elected.

§2. At least every three years, bishops of an ecclesiastical province or, where circumstances suggest it, of a conference of bishops, are in common counsel and in secret to compose a list of presbyters, even including members of institutes of consecrated life, who are more suitable for the episcopate. They are to send it to the Apostolic See, without prejudice to the right of each bishop individually to make known to the Apostolic See the names of presbyters whom he considers worthy of and suited to the episcopal function.

Foolish Mbaise bigots

Bishop ekandem from calabar province was bishop of Enugu

Bishop Gbuji from Delta is present Enugu bishop

Archbishop Obinna, an Igbo is present bishop of Benin

Archbishop Onaiyekan from kogi is Abuja bishop.

Tell me why Mbaise people will not be cursed by God for bringing tribalism into the body of Christ.


Meanwhile their son is in awka, heading UNIZIK Awka as VC, doing backyard recruitment of IMO people into lecturing in Anambra and no Jupiter fell.

I think it's time we kick Ahaneku from unizik. We have competent Anambra Professors to head the school.

Idiots

Pchidexy:
Unizik is a federal institution.

Catholic church is a universal church, not Mbaise church.

Get sense

Who says it is an Mbaise church.

Abeg swerve! I no get chance.

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

They had to appoint someone that hasn’t served in the OWERRI Ecclesiastical province?
