Anambra1stSonTV:

Diocese of the Niger (Onitsha)

Thank you

FreeStuffsNG:
The father of Christianity in the East is Bishop Ajayi Crowther of the Anglican Communion. If you want to defend the Catholic for immortalising one of those who came after the first Christian missionary work led by a Yoruba man, Bishop Ajayi Crowther, do so but don't corrupt the true of history and the place of Bishop Ajayi Crowther who brought christianity to Igboland.
Hopefully someday, a grateful generation of Igbo will one day give Bishop Ajayi Crowther his rightful place in Igboland.

Stop taking crack
Tinubu won't pay the bills if you run mad
Pity your family

Stop generalizing bro
The effect of Catholic dominance was only in Anambra, orlu part of IMO and some parts of Enugu
But mostly Anambra!
You will hardly see a Catholic man from Abia, also igbo speaking part of rivers, owerri zone of imo state, ebonyi (especially afikpo axis) are largely Anglican, Methodist, Presbyterian and protestant,
Ngwa people on there own are largely Adventist from okezie, to Alex otti e.t.c and that's why Clifford university exist in that axis, the also have numerous of secondary schools and motherless babies home within ngwaland, the remaining part of Abia, rivers,imo e.t.c are not Catholics
Catholics is only predominantly in Anambra, orlu imo axis and you can feel there impact there.

Except orji uzor kalu
Who grew up in northern Nigeria
I have never seen anyone or any Popular figure from Abia or my side in IMO that's a Catholic

You go count dem?.........Chief census taker of Nigeria!

Abufo:




You go count dem?.........Chief census taker of Nigeria!

I know this because I have spent a lot
Of time in most cities in southern Nigeria especially down East
Any Catholic church you see in Abia is 70 % dominated by Anambra men, the remaining 30 is shared between other igbos or non igbos
Different churches from Presbyterian, to assemblies of God church to Methodist all have there National Theological pastor training school in umuahia,
You can easily count Popular Anambra men, women, actors and actresses that are Catholic
I can bet you can't count up to 4 from Abia or 6 from rivers, or the part of IMO state close to umuahia that are Catholics
Catholic is not really a general igbo thing like you guys think, is basically an Anambra thing with imo orlu axis

Factual , good material.

You’re an historian.

Bishop Ajayi Crowther did a great exploit for God.

Here's George Masden's "Among The Ibos of Niger" historical of the colonial era Igboland with the people walking naked. The pictures are there in the book. Btw, George Masden is a British colonial official o before you think he is Yoruba too

Even when your backward useless worthless shithole imo state has no standard university that can match any university in Anambra. Imo state university in the glorified village Owerri is more or less a glorified secondary school but how you managed to have guys to post is still a mystery to me

I think he was partly referring to the invaluable help the Catholic Church rendered in Alaigbo during and in the immediate aftermath of the civil war.

That being said, there's truth in your own assertion about the presence and historical influence of the Anglican, Methodist and Adventist Churches in present day Abia, Rivers and parts of Imo states. My maternal side from Azumini are Anglicans and the Anglican Church has more of a presence and influence in those parts than the Catholic Church has.

I think it's still early days to determine whether what's on ground is in keeping with the rendering or not.

Exactly bro
You are right

This dirty aba pig full of inferiority complex you are always on every Anambra threads crying like an ediot. What the guy said is a fact . Stop attacking people that states the fact. Also Onitsha was the first place the missionaries and western education first came to the eastern Nigeria.

Stop telling us about your backward useless abia state, no one cares about your nonsense abia state here.

You are totally correct

Unbiased1:


If not for the Catholic church, most Igbos alive today would have either been dead or not born due to the Civil war. The Catholic church's contributions to education, health and childcare in Igboland is too much for them not to have special status in the East. Most of the best primary and secondary public schools in the east are run by the Catholic church, they also run the largest orphanage and childcare centers in the east. Now tell me, what has Oyedepo (or whatever you call him) done for easterners? Schools run by the Catholic church in the East are highly affordable, same can't be said of the schools run by Oyedepo and his church.

Can you go a day on Nairaland without seeking for my attention?
Your obsession towards me is something else
Like I said
Am not gay, go play with your mates

Stop being bitter at all times. Catholic is a general Igbo thing. Whatever nonsense you guys are doing in your backward abia state doesn’t concern igbos. But all everyone knows is that Catholic and Anglican are major Christian organizations in igboland

Abia pig you are always the one jumping from one Anambra thread to another. Would you ever mind your useless abia state? No one cares about your useless state. This thread is about Onitsha university but your envy and bitterness won’t allow you focus on your useless abia state. No one ever mentioned abia in this thread but you are forcing it on us here as if we care

Good development. This is the largest private university in igboland . One could tell from the ongoing project

Anambra1stSonTV:
Ongoing Shanahan University located in Trans-nkisi Onitsha, Anambra state being funded by Archdiocese of Onitsha

kenny714433:
I wish to meet who got the inspiration for the name Shanahan.

Upon all beautiful Catholic names, upon all the beautiful Igbo names, he came up with a name that sounds Congolese 😅—— Bishop Joseph Shanahan was a Catholic Bishop of the Onitsha Archdiocese decades ago. NOT CONGOLESE!

Well, I wish this could be a Nigerian version of Saint Louis University, US. That was my dream university years back but funds shattered that dream.

aribisala0:
University?
Onitsha?
What for?

To give your sort better education. Business cities need university more than state capital city. Are you from Imo where all five govt universities and polys are in the state capital but nothing for Okigwe or Orlu sides of Imo?

kettykin:
Thriving in the face of adversity , isolation. Marginalization, economic downturn , financial crisis. it seems God has a real soft spot for igbos.

Within a month I have randomly counted projects running into more than $10b in the south east

Devil. You are only happy when you see good things in your region. Everywhere else is a 'shithole' and 'zoo' despite the fact that you fled there in your millions.

Idiaat.

aribisala0:
University?
Onitsha?
What for?

For proper civilization of Onitsha.
Some of us have argued for years that Onitsha needs university to bring such calming and decorum.
Methinks that Onitsha needs at least two more universities to douse the "trader" mindset and proclivities of the city.
Such institutions would bring faster enlightenment to the city.
