IT’S SO SURPRISING TO NOTE THAT SOME CATHOLIC PRIESTS IN AHIARA DIOCESE IN IMO STATE (NIGERIA) AND THEIR CONGREGATIONS REJECTED BISHOP OKPALEKE FROM CARRYING OUT HIS DUTIES BECAUSE HE IS NOT AN INDIGENE OF THAT STATE. BISHOP OKPALEKE IS FROM ANAMBRA STATE AND WAS CONSECRATED IN 2012 BY POPE BENEDICT THE XVI. WHAT IS CHURCH TURNING INTO?

“Show The Light and Our People Will Follow The Way”, this is exactly what people should expect from Catholic Priests in Ahiara diocese in Imo state of Nigeria including every man of God everywhere in the world. The rejection of Bishop Okpaleke as the Bishop of Ahiara diocese in Imo state of Nigeria because he is not an indigene is very wrong and against the teachings of God Almighty, though the matter has already been settled as alleged. Bishop Okpaleke is from Anambra state in the eastern part of Nigeria and also share the same ethnicity with the people of Imo state, so why the rejection? This same group of clergy men would stand in the presence of everyone to preach love, peace and unity of mankind on earth. If you can reject a man of God who was posted to do God’s work in your area simply because he is not an indigene, it showed that the falsehood and misleading of your congregations should be addressed quickly and proper tutorial of who God Almighty is should kindly be thought in the Ahiara diocese of Imo state (Nigeria). Viewers Corner News and the advisory team decided to re-visit this topic to let those priests and their congregations understand that God Almighty created us as one and those believed to have the calling to do God’s work should not mislead the people or follow worldly things different from biblical teachings. Please concentrate on God’s work as described in the holy book (Bible). Lead the way as men of God, no matter who is posted to your area, treat him or her as your brother or sister because when the time comes, the Almighty God who is our father and the creator of heaven and earth will not ask about our state of origin. Whether we are from the East, West, South or North, we are one before God therefore we should see ourselves as brothers and sisters. Again no matter where any man of God is posted to do his duty, he or she should be accommodated because he or she is there to do the work of God.
