That story Ife posted, I’m trying to imagine what the takes would have been if it was the other way round

Like the woman is the one that is tired and the man wants her to keep working regardless and no, don’t tell me it’s not the same

Let’s be telling ourselves the truth sometimes

I am so happy and grateful for our new age Catholic Priests on social media.

Everyday, they share amazing anecdotes that are very important and nourishing to our lives as Catholics.

May God continue to strengthen them in His Ministry on earth, and may He find them worthy to continue this ministry in Heaven.

God bless you all.

Catholic church too dey do. Which one is sit. Stand. Kneel. Stand again?

If you’ve ever felt like Mass is a holy workout, there’s actually a 2,000-year-old theological reason for every single move.

Here is why Catholics switch between standing and kneeling (and what each posture actually means) 🧵👇

Supporting Healthcare Education with My Visit to Ibadan’s Nursing Institution.

After attending the 50th/15th Biennial Conference of the Methodist Church, I proceeded to the College of Nursing Sciences, Oluyoro, Ibadan, where I interacted with the management and students of the institution.

I reiterated my belief that education remains one of the strongest foundations for building a better nation, especially in critical sectors such as healthcare. The training of competent healthcare professionals is essential to improving the quality of care and strengthening our national development.

In keeping with my earlier commitment to continually support the institution, I donated another ₦10 million to assist the College in its important work of training future nurses and healthcare professionals. This is part of my continued commitment to investing in education and supporting initiatives that contribute to Nigeria’s future.

I also encouraged the students to take their studies seriously, reminding them that nurses occupy a vital place in the healthcare system. Their skills, compassion, and dedication are needed not only in Nigeria but across the world. I urged them to pursue excellence, uphold the highest standards of professionalism, and become worthy ambassadors of our country.

THESE CATHOLIC PRIESTS!

It was a young Catholic priest, several years ago, who gathered a crowd of worshippers in Abuja in the middle of the rainy season, having invited me to minister in songs to them in an outdoor evangelical outreach.

When I expressed my concern about the weather, he smiled and declared authoritatively, "this rain will cooperate with us!"

The thunderstorm was fierce and relentless that day, but, guess what? The rain paused all evening until I dropped the microphone and the people dispersed. Then the torrential downpour resumed.

It was a young Catholic priest in Port Harcourt who made one of the most profound statements I've heard in my walk with God.

"My needs are few, if any. I have little or no need for the money I receive."
The peace of contentment was all over him as he spoke.

"Be content with such things as ye have..." ( Hebrews 13:5)
and the likes... are Bible verses we hardly hear these days.
You would think such scriptures have been deleted from the Bible.

And now again!

This Catholic priest just made us all proud as Christians, speaking the naked truth to Mr President, eyeball to eyeball. Whatever your political inclination, whatever you may think of the opinions he expressed, there aren't many Christian leaders who have spoken their minds so courageously, without guile.

Suddenly, the lines from George Duffield's 1858 hymn "STAND UP FOR JESUS" in my Methodist Hymn book came alive!

"Let courage rise with danger
And strength to strength oppose...'

"Where duty calls, or danger
Be never wanting there!"

Thank you, Cardinal John Onaiyekan. Thanks indeed.
The church of Jesus Christ is ONE BIG FAMILY!

Chief, I am a mafian in Christ. In fact, all Catholics are.

The Catholic Church, if you insist on calling her a mafia, is a peculiar one.

Let me tell you chief, we're a family that has outlived empires, buried kings, crowned saints, built the world's oldest continuously operating institutions, preserved knowledge through the darkest centuries, founded universities, pioneered hospitals, cared for the poor, sheltered the abandoned, and preached one Gospel across continents for nearly 2,000 years.

A mafia whose greatest weapon is a crucified King and whose initiation is baptism. Whose code is love of God and neighbour.

Whose headquarters have watched civilizations rise and fall without abandoning the faith once handed down.

Anyone can call it whatever they like.

But if there is any organization whose fingerprints can be found on the history of education, healthcare, charity, art, philosophy, science and human dignity, it is the Catholic Church.

She is not perfect because her members are perfect, but enduring because Christ is.

I believe in the holy Catholic church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting.

What a beautiful mafia indeed :)

My generation of NdiIgbo owe our lives to the Catholic Church.

But for the intervention of Caritas, Catholic Relief Services, the Irish Holy Ghost Fathers, and the Holy Rosary Sisters, etc conducting dangerous night lifts to bring in much needed supplies, we would have died of starvation imposed by Nigeria during the Biafra war.

Between 1967–1970, “the Nigerian Federal Military Government arrested, prosecuted, and expelled hundreds of foreign Catholic missionaries - predominantly Irish Holy Ghost Fathers (Spiritans) and other relief personnel - who had defied federal blockades to provide life-saving food and medical aid to Biafra”

[Peter Obi @PeterObi]

Here is a man who had the best Higher School Certificate result in the old Northern Region in 1962 and who rose through the ranks of the Catholic Church to become a Cardinal, a position that places him among those eligible to be considered for the papacy. Yet he is no ordinary cleric. He is one of Africa’s most respected churchmen, known for decades of service to peace, dialogue, scholarship, and national unity. Resorting to personal attacks against him weakens public discourse and reveals an unhealthy intolerance of criticism in today’s Nigerian political space.

Throughout history, religious leaders have challenged political authorities. Biblical prophets confronted kings, and modern faith communities continue to hold governments accountable. Nigeria has a similar tradition. The Catholic Church criticised military governments and successive civilian administrations, including those of Obasanjo, Yar’Adua, Jonathan, and Buhari. Muslim organisations have done likewise. Governments respectfully disagreed at times, but they generally recognised the right and responsibility of religious bodies to speak. Why, then, does the truth provoke such anger today?

The problem often begins when leaders surround themselves with voices that tell them only what they want to hear. Napoleon Bonaparte was reputed to have preferred hearing bad news because problems were where leadership was required. During my tenure as Governor of Anambra State, I maintained a similar philosophy. I expected cabinet members to bring me problems, not compliments, because only honest feedback could lead to solutions.

Good governance depends on truth. When governments punish truth-tellers and reward sycophants with appointments, honest advisers withdraw, sycophancy thrives, and leaders become disconnected from reality. This is our situation today.

The CBCN did not insult the President and can never do so, given the calibre of the people who make up the Conference, some of the finest among Nigerians. It gave voice to the suffering of Nigerians. The proper response was to thoughtfully address the issues raised, not attack those who raised them. When respected figures like Cardinal Onaiyekan are vilified for speaking the truth, the message sent to citizens is that silence is safer than honesty. No democracy can flourish under such a culture.

Religious leaders should continue to speak because silence in the face of suffering would betray their moral responsibility. The greatest service those around President Tinubu can render him is an honest appraisal of the situation. A leader who hears only praise will never fully understand the pain of his people or find the clarity needed to correct what is wrong.

This girl, Chizoba, just graduated from Mechatronics at Nile University with a CGPA of 4.96.

She will be with us for the next 4 weeks teaching our children hardcore Robotics and AI. All practicals.

Her final-year project was constructing and programming a 3D printer from scratch. She also built unique technology that converts waste water bottles into 3D printing filaments.

These next 4 weeks are going to be on fire. Our children will also build drones from the ground up.

We selected the top 40 South East Maths Olympiad Winners from Enugu to participate in this program.

I find it strange that every few years, some Africans argue about whether their own native language is “useful.”

A language is not valuable because it gets you a job.

A language is valuable because it carries the memory of a people.

English connects you to the world but your mother tongue connects you to your identity, your history, your grandparents, your culture, and a way of thinking that cannot be fully translated.

The future belongs to people who can preserve who they are while engaging the world.

The real advantage is raising a child who can think, dream, and express themselves fluently in their local language, while also communicating confidently in English and other global languages.

"A child who cannot speak their father’s or mother’s language will, at some point, stand in that homeland and feel like a stranger. Not unwelcome, not unloved, just outside something that was supposed to be theirs by birth." - Nwanyị Ọcha 2026.

[Nwanyi Ocha @nwanyi_ocha]

I want to be fair to @PeterPsquare . He is not wrong that French opens doors Igbo does not. He is not wrong that parents get to decide how they raise their own children. But I guess he underestimates the fact that he is not just any parent. P-Square is a name millions of Igbo people grew up admiring, their success made them proud to be who they are. People all over the world sang their songs using Igbo words. So when a voice like that says Igbo is not worth passing on, it does not land like one man’s private choice. It gives permission for a belief a lot of people were already quietly carrying, that English and French, in short anything foreign, sits above Igbo, that their native language is something to graduate out of rather than something to hold onto.

I am not Igbo. I am Swiss. But my husband made it clear from the beginning that our children would speak Igbo, and I have never once seen that as a burden or a complication. Our children speak Swiss German, English, and Igbo at home, German at school, and now French as well, since that is part of their school curriculum too. Five languages, and none of them fighting each other for space. That is the part people forget when they frame this as a choice. Children do not need to pick one language to be strong in. They can navigate several at once, easily.

It is adults who turn language into a competition. Children just absorb what is spoken to them and grow fluent in all of it.

A language is not only a tool for getting ahead. It is also a rooting tool, the place where love, memory, and belonging live. It is the specific way a grandmother scolds you and forgives you in the same breath. It is a joke that only works in the original. Lose the language, and you do not just lose a skill. You lose a room in your own house, one you can still visit as a guest but never quite live in again. That is what worries me most in this conversation. A child who cannot speak their father’s or mother’s language will, at some point, stand in that homeland and feel like a stranger. Not unwelcome, not unloved, just outside something that was supposed to be theirs by birth.

One day, my sons will be handed a kola nut, and in that moment, no one should have to do it for them. They should know how to receive it, how to speak over it, how to break it themselves, not pass it along to someone else because they never learned the words or the meaning behind them. That is such a small moment, and yet it says everything. It is the difference between being someone’s guest and being someone’s own.
So when I hear “Igbo is useless,” what I actually hear is a wound that has not healed.

From the outside, I have watched how often English or French get treated as the languages worth keeping, while Igbo gets treated as the one you can afford to let go of. That preference did not come from nowhere. It is a colonial hierarchy that convinced generations of people that closeness to their own culture was a limitation rather than a foundation. I don’t say this to shame anyone, least of all a man raising his own family the best way he knows how. I say it because the people who shape how we see ourselves carry a weight beyond their own households, whether they asked for it or not.

My hope is simple. That we stop treating our children’s languages as a competition with only one winner. That we let them have both the world and their roots, and trust that they are capable of holding both without ever having to choose.
