OWERRI—The unbridled quest for money and the attitude of “only money counts” in all Igbo affairs, came under severe attack, yesterday, when the Catholic Bishop of Nsukka, Most Rev. Professor Godfrey Igwebuike Onah, delivered the 33rd Public Lecture  of the Federal University of Technology, Owerri, FUTO, titled “Intellectualism and the Development of a People.” Igbo Chiefs According to the fiery Catholic cleric, the toll Igbo people have paid in values for this, has been enormous, adding that money and what money can buy seem to be all that matter to Ndigbo. “Even our proverbial egalitarianism and republicanism seem to have disappeared as the super rich became the owners of the community and their praise singers remind those who were in doubt that the community or town, indeed belong to some people”, Professor Onah lamented. Tracing how the Igbo degenerated to the present level, the Bishop said that before the Nigeria-Biafra war, the intellectual was the pride of the Igboman, pointing out that it was a pride to be referred to as doctor’s mother or father. “Then came the war, the blockade, the starvation, the surrender, the humiliation and the economic emasculation. Despite the beautiful slogan of no victor, no vanquished, there was and still is, a clear plan to crush the presumably rebellious Igbo spirit and, thus, shatter the myth of the resilient Igboman”, Onah said. Continuing, the erudite cleric recalled that at the end of the war, the foremost battle of Ndigbo was for survival in a Nigeria that neither wanted them in its fold nor would let them go, “having been stripped to the bare skin of all the material wealth they had acquired before the war by the post war Nigerian government”. According to the cleric, a careful scrutiny of  the way most political office holders were selected in Igboland and what they do with the common patrimony when they are in office, will confirm that Ndigbo have collectively sold their birthrights to those who have the hard currency to spray. “Before long, the only money counts attitude found its way into the precincts of the churches and, through harvests, bazaars and the unending fund raising programmes for the innumerable church projects, it gradually moved into the sanctuary”, Onah said. The Bishop also reasoned that from the sanctuaries, the money virus exploded like a petrol tank on fire, spilling it’s content into massive open air rallies, crusades and fanfares of the miracle industries and mega markets, where the insecure wealthy class, the distressed youths and miserable victims of the reckless pillage of our national wealth by an unscrupulous political class collectively fund the extravagance of some self appointed redeemers.

Yes why won't he slam them for wanting money when he himself lives in a comfortable house, has enough cars to go around with.

doesn't work or need to work for his money but relies on the one contributed by this same poor igbo masses looking for money to enrich himself.

why won't he have mouth to talk when he floats on a boat paddled by the sweat of the masses without knowing how hard that is..

The masses should stop this useless offering giving, tithe ish to these con-men lets see how they won't join them and hustle for their money undecided

Religion is the Opium of the masses
