This is not what happened, sepsecting Bishop is not a political appointmentand due process was followed. Your state rejected him outrightly, stop onfusing people.

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

Hmmmmmm

Mbaise people would do it again and again over and over again

Sooooo, ethnicity is a factor in your religious practice?

blamingthedevil:
UPDATE:
The Bishop that Ahiara rejected (fellow Igbo Catholic, but his ‘sin’ was that he was from another community in another State), has gone on to become a Cardinal, and now, a member of the Papal Conclave.

To the glory of that he rose to the conclave. The last time I checked , this is Christianity and not the politics of this world where the winner takes it all and witch-hunt sets in.

I see some people here lying and fabricating lies to defend their evils and regular practice of marginalisation even from within.

That's what you guys are ...Even you can relieve your father as d still defend why you reject him..
Yet you're calling Yoruba betrayers for rejecting your Gbajue candidate

sreamsense:

Leave story, this is not a political matter, but you still politicized it as if the Bishop was "Buhari or Tinubu" you hate with ion. Accept your fault in peace, correct it in the future. Hatred runs in your blood true true, but try to change for better. Same things apply to your government giving out jobs only to their own state

Exactly my point up there. The Mbaise people should viewing him as an enemy in the conclave and does he.Thats point the op is trying to make

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

Ii want him to be the Pope.

Hmmm...
If the appointment is influenced by someone to favour his community, then it is not fair. Not everyone can be very close to Rome, but let those who are allow justice to prevail

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!

What has Nigeria got to do with the things of God? You are still looking for justification to cover your sin and shamefulness. Did the early church that were following the apostles or the apostles themselves rejected Mathias that was choosen to replace Judas Iscariot because they want him? The bishops prayed and choose someone for you, but you rejected and choose for yourselves who will serve your own selfish interest, and you are still defending your bad attitude.

Early church did not reject whoever was sent o them to serve, but your modern church of worldliness and selfishness rejected whom the oracles of God choosed for you because they are not mbaizie bishops. Pure disobedience, stubbornness, arrogance and waywardness. You carry secular political matters into the house of God, next time you will be fighting for bishop tenure because you will keep growing wings.

All of you, the entire church should approach God and ask for forgiveness and never query authority of bishops in the context of discussion. Is too irritating and you are still stiff-necked. Pervasion in the house of God. Abomination in the house of God, but you are still not ashamed because you have become unturned cake that is only going to. Church for mere weekly ceremony

What I think is that the real haters are you and your people. You uproot a cooked up story with half truths and attempt to sell it as Igbo hating Igbo, and when they prove you wrong you're still here insisting on your bile.

You are the real haters with hatred running in your veins. Maybe, in your DNA sef.

There's no difference between and fulani they both have same way of thinking. I hope didn't say anything bad

Igbos hating Igbos is too deep.

I 100% believe there will be a civil war in less than 5 years among IIGB0S if Biafra is granted to them.

That's how you people massage their ego till you collect their land as you are doing currently in Edo State. Why are you guys hell-bent on Unity? From Nnamdi Azikwe, to Benjamin Kalu to Kingsley Moghalu, and yet you still want Biafra nation. Bunch of hypocrite.

So glad you can translate igbo into Christian words from the bible.

Lol if you haven't seen Igbo Bible before go to a big bookshop and ask well

May our winnings be more than our losses, may we be more successful than we ever imagine.

This is old story, why bringing up, I'm 100% sure that an Osun people will Never allow an Ekiti man to become their governor. This thing happened everywhere especially in Africa which shouldn't be

Na lie.

Yorubas are the most tolerant people I have ever known.
That is why you have a large number of non indigenes living among them.

How many non indigenes live in the South East?
None!

Stop misleading the people, okpaleke was appointed because mbaise priest were writing petition against one another. It was a case of if not me no one else. The pope decided to give them priest from another place and they started crying foul. Okpaleke resigned because according to canon law if a bishop resides out his diocese for five years, he should resign. The current Nnewi diocese has a bishop from awka outside the diocese. The priest and the lay faithful accepted him with joy. If you think that cardinal arinze have the power to appoint a bishop then you don't know the Catholic Church . BTW is not a must for the pope to accept names submitted by the bishop

It's Roman Catholic. It's their affairs. If they choose not to have an African Pope, it's non of business.
