Some people are just ignorant

I am from mbaise and I know this story very well

1) a Bishop every 3 years submit 3 names to pope for his possible replacement
2) mbaise Bishop dies out of over 90 names he submitted during his time as Bishop... None was picked
3) cardinal Arinze picked someone from his place... Note awka has 300 priest and has produced 5 Bishops ... Mbaise has 800 priest and hasn't produced a Bishop

4) mbaise people rejected saying no to Bishop from. Awka.... Later accepted a Bishop from. Umuahia then later and mbaise Bishop was appointed

Mbaise didn't reject him because he is not mbaise no... The rejected him because 1) it didn't follow the rule 2) they suspected foul play from. Cardinal Arinze

And when Pope Francis heard the real story okpalake reigned to save face

That's the Igbo spirit... We told the 1.4 Catholics we can never accept injustice and the we didn't until the right thing was done

If you want to spin it go ahead

Typical boisterous mentality that landed Ekpa, MNK and the previous ancestors into crisis is what you just echoed: failure of self ability. Shame

These are the unity beggars dragging Ikwerres in Rivers State. Put your house in order first. Referendum indeed.

Abakaliki indigenes are outcast in Anambra and Imo. In Alaba Electronics market constitution, Abakaliki indigenes can not become president or vice president. Bishops that are not from Anambra or Imo can not become their priest.
Yet they will deceive the likes of Dele Farotimi and co to accept Lagos as no man's land so they can install their kinsman as Governor.
They're already showing Edo people shege. They protect their heritage and culture while they use their elites like Kingsley Moghalu and Peter Obi to preach unity, when Moghalu wife is busy saying "Invest in Lagos at your peril". My condolences to the Yorubas that have killed their soul to these propagandists.

The igbo are their own problem and that
is why, even if Biafra comes to be, expect
civil war between the igbos in less than 5 years.


Unity is not in their nature or character. Na
only money them dey respect.


I come in peace ✌️ 🕊 ✌️

Continue same gesture now as you said, but just accept what people called you that hatred runs in your vein. It means people were not mistaken to call you that. It means you never surrendered your inbuilt hatred to the law of God. Obey the authority in Christ, but you refused thinking you are doing the right thing. It means you don't allow God to choose for you through his ministers, but you choose for yourselves who will serve your own interest. No wonder you guys are quenching the fire of rivaival through your selfishness. You don't want to surrender all for God to lead, you turn Bishop to "Tinubu and Buhari" that you hate with ion. Turning church to political matters. Haba, disgusting! !!

Nigeria is the way it is today because of people like you. And thank God that the rot in Nigeria is reaching every region. Standing up to injustice, cleanses the land and wards of evil/errors. Even in the Bible, when people brought nepotism and tribalism into the early church, it wasn't swept under the carpet. The apostles handled it decisively. Don't keep ing evil or error because your brother is the beneficiary. That's the Igbo spirit!

That's what you tell yourself so you sleep well at night. Does it matter if your bishop is from Mbaise or is from Pluto.
You had 1 job, just worship God and attend mass.
Who cares about who the cardinal or bishop is.

Tribal sentiments apart, the rejection of a newly appointed bishop by mbaise people is totally absurd and shows how highly bigoted mbaise people are *not all Igbos*
I see one Monica Vitalis twisting stories to make it look like other tribes are hating on Igbos. mbaise people remain the most bigoted clan in Igbo land. Bishop ogbalaeke was rejected because he is from Anambra State, they said why Anambra person when they have over 800 priest and non has been made bishop. They even threatened to pull out of catholic church..imagine ,,,

Cardinal Arinze took his favoritism for awka to a new highly honest 300 priests yet they have 7 Bishops and two cardinals... If everyone stands it Mbaise would never stand it.. They can blackmail and gaslight all they want

Mbaise was ready to pull out of the Catholic Church

You already pulled out from the catholic church, you pulled out from Christianity. I have never seen someone with so much hatred in my life.
I am from Lagos, I don't care if my parish priest or Bishop is from Mbaise or Ghana. He is not the reason I worship my God

Don't you feel shame typing what you just said?
We didn't reject him.... (later) we rejected him...
Shame is a good thing to have. It helps you avoid embarrassment.

If you see the new cardinal today, can you proudly greet and hug him since you said your problem wasn't with him but with another person?
I guess not. Your hearts are filled with hatred till today for that man who did nothing to you guys. His only crime was his identity.

They will keep spinning it, even as Tinubu hunger is spinning their intestines into destruction. grin

Haba must everything carries Tinubu name? Stop all these pls.

Everybody heard about the rejection but no one including you came out then to say all these defense but suddenly now the defense league rise because one Ogunlesi made reference.

Nwanem hunger has no boundary or tribe or region everybody is feeling the heat so stop thinking hunger is somewhere than other and by th way it is not hunger or Tinubu we are talking about but about Papalcy. Thanks...

Threatening to pull out of the catholic church because a bishop from another state was posted to your diocese..is the highest show of bigotry ever recorded in Christianity....
The Romans had their Cardinals but ..
Pope John Paul (Poland)
Pope Benedict ()
Pope Francis (Argentina)
They governed Vatican and headed the Roman Catholic church..
But mbaise people carried a coffin of Bishop Ogbalaeke and warned him not to step foot on their soil because he is from Anambra State....

...shame

Stories like this is capable of giving both the proponents and the opponents avoidable headache and stress. I can't imagine me defending or attacking an action I knew nothing about. cool cool
Toh
But you can see some folks here already attacking what they know nothing of.
Their is politics everywhere even in Rome.

I just watched the movie "conclave" and it depicted these things
Kingdomb: 6:23am On Apr 28
What we must understand is that no office exists without any political mago mago not even the conclave where his Holiness is elected. There is an inner caccus meeting among the leaders in Rome and Cardinal.
On the other hand if an Argentine man should come to Rome and the head of Catholic church while there are other Cardinals from Rome, Mbaise should have accepted the bishop appointment to them. But it's only becomes suspicious that this person comes from the same state with the Cardinal Arinze this shows the game of power there are thousands of priests in Imo that qualify the position. And to even prove that this wall a total game Arinze still recommended him as a cardinal in less than 3 years of concecration.
Summary
*Mbaise has the right to protest and it's better the have there own son as there leader.
*If people like Arinze become pope favouristm and marginalisation may enter the church
*Biblically Jesus almost went round the world preaching the Gospel and the church is one. An Fulani cardinal should be given a chance to serve in any part of Nigeria if the lord has called him.
