U.S-Based Nigerian Priest Sacked For Being Materialistic
January 06, 2009 15:38

A Nigerian catholic priest, who was recruited to fill empty pulpits in parishes across the United States of America, was sacked for being materialistic, The New York Times newspaper has said.

The U.S. influential newspaper reports that the Nigerian priest, whose names were not mentioned, was temporary recruited at the St. Michael the Archangel Catholic Church, in the Diocese of Owensboro, Western Kentucky, but was asked to go after he requested for three pairs of glasses. He was offered one for free.

“An American pastor said the Nigerian had seemed overly interested in material goods. When an ophthalmologist offered to fit him for glasses at no charge, he asked for three pairs” the newspaper reported.

Parishioners also complained that they could not understand his accent. PM.News could not establish where the Nigerian priest hails from in Nigeria. He was replaced by a Kenyan priest, Rev. Chrispin Oneko, whom the parishioners found to be different from the Nigerian.

“He listened and won people over with his humility. Where the Nigerian priest had taught the choir to sing African hymns, Father Oneko did not try to impose his worship style. And he learned to keep his sermons to no more than 15 minutes and the Masses to one hour.”

The Kenyan priest also had his trying times. The paper reports that after leading one of his first Sunday Masses at his new American parish, Rev. Oneko, was feeling content until he discovered several small notes left by his parishioners.

The notes, all anonymous, conveyed the same message: Father, please make your homilies shorter. One said even five minutes was too long for a mother with children.

One Sunday, after he opened his homily with a joke that fell flat, he said, “I know some of you are looking at your watches, so I’ll make it brief.”

Unlike in Kenya, where he had been a charismatic catholic, participating in faith healings and leading Masses with spirited singing and clapping that lasted for hours, Rev. Oneko preached slowly in America, in his Kenyan accent : “Late us prrray.” Sometimes he spelled out words when he saw the congregation looking puzzled. “B-I-R-D, not B-E-D,” the newspaper wrote.

At home, in Kenya, Father Oneko had preached to rural Africans who walked for hours to get to church and would have been disappointed if the sermons were brief.

“Here the whole Mass is one hour,” he said, a broad smile on his round face. “That was homework for me, to learn to summarize everything and make the homily 10 minutes, maybe 15. Here, people are on the move very fast.”

Most of the African priests, it was learnt, arrive knowing how to celebrate Mass, anoint the sick and baptize babies. But few are prepared for the challenges of being a pastor in America

To help Rev. Oneko understand the American experience, a volunteer in the church had to give him a high school textbook on American history and government. In Kenya, Father Oneko became the sole pastor of 12 satellite parishes in an 80-mile stretch. He served more than 3,000 people communion on a typical weekend and ran a girls high school.

It was a hardship post. His car, the only one in the vicinity, was used as a school bus, an ambulance and, if the local officers caught a thief, a police car — with Father Oneko the driver.

In Kentucky, he stuck to the music the congregation was used to at the Saturday evening Mass, that meant a faint choir of three voices; at the 11:30 a.m. Sunday Mass, an extended family of Filipinos played guitar and piano.

The boy is having another diarrhea of the mouth again, Dont blame him tho, Methinks its just all publicity for his new crap album which has so far moved about 50k or more so hes gotta come up with a gimmick to generate controversy.

By Kim Osorio


Soulja Boy, who is known for uploading popular videos to Youtube, has released another video that is stirring up a new controversy. In the video, the young rapper is claiming that Nas killed hip-hop by coming out and saying "hip-hop is dead."

The video features Soulja Boy and two of his friends, eating at a kitchen table discussing the state of hip-hop. The conversation starts off with SB giving props to Lil' Wayne as the "best rapper alive." Soulja Boy continues to say that when someone in hip hop comes out and says something, it becomes true. He then starts to go in on Nas, who released an album titled Hip-Hop Is Dead back in 2007.

"[Nas] came out publicly and said 'hip hop is dead,' and then after that everybody started saying hip hop is dead," says Soulja Boy. "If Nas would have never said 'hip hop is dead,' then motherf***ers would have never thought it would have died. They would have never had that terminology."

As the conversation continues, SB continues to call Nas out for his statements. "He killed his own career with that sh*t. He should have thought about that sh*t though, You come out saying 'hip hop is dead' and you do hip hop, what the f*ck you doing? Shut the eff up and go in the studio!"

In the video, Soulja Boy commends other rappers for their statements. He describes "some good sh*t to say" as T.I. calling himself the king of the south, Lil' Wayne proclaiming that he's the best rapper alive, and 50 Cent saying he runs New York.

Soulja Boy goes on to assert his own title, leaving the comment open for someone to come back at him. He boasts, "I'm the king of the internet. It's something you could argue with, but it's not something you could take from somebody.

In short, SB sums up his video by making it clear that he disagrees with Nas. "Hip-Hop is dead, that's some strong *ss words."

Dont know any brother who takes Fox seriously, Give me a dose of CNN and BBC anytime.

On the real, from the previews I've seen, the movie looks mad corny. After reading how involved his Mother was in the movie, now I understand why. What we are about to see is "her chance to give the world her son but on her terms; to give the story of the man, not the entertainer or the rapper." Can a mother tell the story of her son accurately? Without overwhelming the story with sentimentality and emotional conclusions? I'm not sure.

In about three clips I heard the phrase "follow your dreams", or fulfilling the "American Dream", it sounded like the script to a cheesy after school special or something. Until I check the movie out, I'll reserve my final judgment but I must admit my expectations have been lowered by the previews and by the commentary I just read.

I think the movie will be a success because since Biggie's and Tupac's death's they have both been worshiped(and exploited by the industry) as flawless and outstanding examples of the best that HIP HOP culture has to offer. Then as they're watching the movie itself and get bombarded with 'thugs to riches American Dream Ideology' they will associate the best the HIP HOP culture has to offer with nothing more than a way of achieving the American Dream.

Add about 80% percent of the Southern rappers to the mix too.

He has got an ok voice nothing extraordinary like Akon. Dude needs a voice coach like seriously and ummmmm a personal trainer too,  damn those flab!!!!!
