Onaiyekan "Weak And Unwilling To Do The Rightful" by mafifle: 12:05pm On Dec 10, 2013 |
http://www.ngrguardiannews.com/index.php/opinion/columnist/140600-onyekakeyah-ahiara-diocese-bishops-and-the-sword-of-damocles THE Sword of Damocles was used to describe the danger that faces the one who sits on the throne. Dionysius (II) a 4th century tyrant of Syracuse, a Greek city in Southern Italy, lived in great luxury. He was very rich and comfortable. He even had a court of sycophants whose duty was to fatter and praise him. Damocles was one of the sycophants. One day, after Damocles had showered compliments to King Dionysius about his great wealth and luxurious life, Dionysius turned to Damocles and asked him to try out living his life to have a taste of it. Damocles readily accepted the king’s proposal. Dionysius then ordered that the throne be prepared for Damocles to experience the same life he lived. Dionysius also ordered that a sword be suspended from the ceiling over the throne, held only by a single hair of a horse tail. Damocles mounted the throne and was enjoying until suddenly, he noticed the sharp sword dangling over his head. Alarmed, Damocles immediately requested that he be excused to return to his poorer but safer life. |

I thought it's the "spirit" that directs and chooses? Bigotry is evil. Onaiyekan, Okogie or even Kukah are not indigenous Bishops where they served so why all this noise? In all these remember the Israelites and their quest for a King, as long as this decision is based on tribalism instead of spiritual then the people have lost it. 1 Like |

Archbishop Adewale Martins was brought from Abeokuta diocese to become the Archbishop of Lagos,heaven has not fall.Bishop Kukah was a priest of Kaduna Archdiocese before he was made Bishop of Sokoto,there's bn no murmur about him being a stranger.What is it with Mbaise people n this nonsense they persist in fronting?. FYI,the Bishop of my home diocese Nnewi is from Utuh in Anambra.Nnewi has thousands of well qualified priests who could be bishop,the bishop of Minna being one,yet we are very happy with the bishop we got. Cardinal Onaiyekan is right,there's no way he can ordain priests he does not know.Being archbishop of Abuja,I'm sure there's not much time left for him to start going on familiarization visits to Ahiara parishes.Y'all brought in these ant-infested firewood,deal with the visits from lizards. |

Shame on the OP for posting this bullcrap. May the Plague take the m0r0ns that seek to bring tribalism into a simple selection of a Bishop. |

There is only one true business /industrial magnate in the conventional sense . That person is OBA OTUDEKO.. Dangote's business model requires government manipulation/ patronage and the presence of a monopoly |

Re: Onaiyekan "Weak And Unwilling To Do The Rightful" by Nobody: 5:13pm On Dec 10, 2013 |
What the ops did was just to point out that the cardinal has abdicated his duty at Ahiara. This is against the spirit of the papal appointment. If anybody is relying on victimization to cow the Mbaise spirit when they are on a proven right path, that person is on a loooong thing i tell you. |

Okoro2015: what is stopping you morons from opening your own mbaise catholic church? |
Re: Onaiyekan "Weak And Unwilling To Do The Rightful" by pokur: 7:38pm On Dec 10, 2013 |
Okoro2015:What duty did he abdicate?.In case u still don't get it,his primary responsibility is overseeing his Abuja archdiocese n his parish church in Rome.All else comes a distant second.You all asked for this rejecting a duly appointed bishop,live with the consequences |

chukwudi44: It is already Ahiara Mbaise catholic Diocese. You see, you are the big slowpoke here. Okpaleke brother. |

pokur: No bishop had been duly apppointed yet otherwise there wouldn't have been need for pope to appoint an administrator. |

Okoro2015: So what's stopping you morons from appointing your mbaise bishop? |

Since this issue started I have always tried to restrain myself from commenting, but I don't understand why the priests from Ahiara are rejecting the new bishop? Is he not a catholic ? I believe they are fighting for something else other than spiritual upliftment and why? Is that not the primary purpose of been a priest? Where has humility gone? Why fighting the church just cos you THINK youy are wise. Whay can't you all allow God to take control? Will I be wrong if I term you all desperate and greedy? IF some set of people are imposing bishops on you , then take it to God in prayers! That's why you are a priest and be humble cos a bishop muwt be humble. I don't know how the whole thing started but I think the attitude of the priests from the diocese does not reflect that of a catholic priest or talk more of Bishop |

chukwudi44: I know you will crawl to this post. Why not move on. Please accept the fact that your brother was not rejected as a person but as a symbol of oppression and as a product of "injustice, power-play and subjugation in the house of God" |

From your "body language" you are not better than the people you are calling desperate because you sound more desperate in jumping into what you don't know how the whole thing started |
