War In Catholic Diocese of Nsukka

"I am leaving the church any moment from now" ~ Rev. Fr Obayi Paul explodes

The spiritual director of the Okunerere Adoration Ministry, Nsukka, Rev. Fr (Prof.) Paul Obayi popularly called Fr Okunerere has reeled out accusations against his bishop, the Catholic bishop of Nsukka Diocese, Bishop Godfrey I. Onah. The spiritual priest revealed that the church has been oppressing him. The latest oppression came as the bishop and other fellow priests want to take away his land by force.

Here are some of the things Okunerere said in the about 30 minutes video.

"The church is my vineyard, I love the church, I love my Nsukka (Catholic) church, I love the bishop, I love the priests, I love them, but they are oppressing me.

"I was looking for a land where I will conduct my adoration but couldn't find. I rented a place behind Queens College Nsukka and started my adoration there. Bishop Onah chased me out of the place, saying I was causing noise and distracting the Students of Queens.

"The past governor of Enugu State, Gburugburu gave me this piece of land I'm staying in now. I told the bishop that I have a land and I took him there to see the land. When he came, he then said that the land is fine to be used to build the Marian Shrine. I told him it's my adoration ministry I want to start here and not Marian Shrine. He said I shouldn't talk about it again. It is the same land that the bishop gave out to the church without consulting me, without any discussion.

"I give everything to the church, yet the church wants to strangle me to death. But it can't happen!

"I bought and installed the best transformer in the cathedral of Nsukka Diocese which they're using till today.

"Bishop Onah mandated me to build a museum where I would keep the deities I remove from villages. I spent 2.8m to build the museum upstairs inside the cathedral and reported to my bishop. The only 'thank you' I got from my bishop was that he asked me where did I get the money to build it when he has banned me from selling olive oil. Yet, I endured it.

"At Obimo, I got a land to build my adoration ministry. It's a mountain. I spent more than 50m to level the place and create roads, then built a 30 room self con house there. The church collected it from me and I surrendered it. Kidnappers are using that building today to keep their victims because the church isn't using it till today after collecting it from me. Bishop Onah said he wants to use the place as Nsukka Diocesan Pilgrimage Centre.

"I was posted to Obollo where I spent 10 million to build a church. Bishop Onah came to dedicate it and on the day of the dedication, everybody present was acknowledged but they refused to acknowledge me, Fr Obayi who built the church. Just after 2 months of dedicating the church, the bishop transfered me to Ikem, where everybody knows that the roads there are filled with kidnappers.

"I was an associate professor but no one in the Diocese ever announced me as associate professor, but those priests who became associate professors yesterday are recognized by the Diocese but I was ignored till today.

"It got to the point that fellow priests broke my gate just to take my land, they said they were sent.

"On bishop Onah's Episcopal ordination, I supplied drinking water free to everybody in attendance.
"The oppression is too much. Priests are avoiding coming to my adoration because if they see any priest in my adoration, during posting, they will post the priest in a far away village beyond Adani in Uzo Uwani LGA.

"I have been inviting the bishop to my adoration but he refused coming, saying he doesn't understand what we are doing here.

"If Charismatic draft a programme and include my name as a guest priest, when they take it to the Diocese for approval, the authorities will tear the programme on seeing my name there. They would ask the Charismatic why should they invite Fr Okunerere. For 10 years now, I have not attended any charismatic programme because the church authorities won't permit me.

"Bishop Onah stopped me from going to London to preach, saying that I would go there to preach heresy. I asked him, before you became my bishop, I had attended 10 different programmes in London where I preached. Is it now you're my bishop that I will preach heresy?

"The church refused to give me land for my adoration, and the one given to me by the government, the church wants to collect it from me.

"Since the church doesn't want me again, I am leaving the Catholic church any moment from now. I can't kill myself".

Pulpits bandits, how you take get the millions you dey spend. No be gullible people give you ?


Common land you no fit give , but una make the gullible dey give everything dem get. I pity gullible people wey dey still give una dia hard earned money.

Your are a star and that comes with jealousy and envy ..

No news source.

Wickedness in the highest order.

He came to my house to pray around 2005,in less than 5months, my Mother was struck with stroke that killed her in 2011. I'm not saying he caused it , but this and more stories show our believe that prayers and Jesus heal sicknesses. And that village people are always responsible for our misfortunes.
I don't
understand the role of these acclaimed men of God in our society. They deceive us that village people , prayers will solve our problems. They make a lot of money from the already suffering masses. They claim that they train a lot of people. They build schools which many of their members cannot afford. Covid-19 was an eye opener to us, but due to ignorance, we didn't learn anything. During covid, it was clear to everyone that prayers ,Jesus, olive oil , holy water is never solution to our health challenges, financial problems . Businesses were affected , people were helpless. Fake men of God and prophets didn't see the pandemic coming. Their sheepish followers don't know that if you work hard, you make money. If your lineage made money, life won't be difficult for you. You grow up from poor background, no contact, no skills , you didn't enroll in Igbo traditional apprenticeship system, you have no any plans on how to make money. And you are going to Oku n'erere , Mbaka , Ebube Muo Nso for miracle, You be "mugu"

They don't know that if they fall sick ,they should see a Doctor. These men of God cash out from people already suffering from corruption,wicked and failed system of government since independence. They will never tell their followers what the bible says In Matthew 16:24:Jesus said to His disciples, “If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me. They followed Christ and along the line attached side hustle built and targeted on their followers and the whole society. Making them billionaires.

We've not heard from the Bishop anyways, I know our Bishop as a learned man with wisdom. Obviously, the Bishop is cutting his excesses gradually,like stopping the sale of olive oil, which is not any medication and cannot cure any ailment including covid, HIV, cancer diabetes etc. He is not like Bishop Onaga in Enugu Diocese that can't curtail Mbaka's loquaciousness. Let's keep our fingers crossed.

1.
In which year did Obayi start the Okunerere ministry, when did Obayi travel abroad to preach, when was the first time the Bishop raised a concern about heresy and began to prevent Obayi from going to preach abroad? A correct answer to this question will help me know the truth about the mention of heresy in the post.

2.
Obayi, according to this poster, has not explained why the Catholic should approve his selling of Olive oil.

3.
Whoever totally condemns the Catholic stand on Okunerere ministry should think about how Mbaka misused his own ministry against Christianity and against GEJ in 2015 election. Remember that Mbaka never had any serious issues with the Catholic authority before the year 2015. A reoccurrence of what Mbaka did might be what the Bishop is trying to prevent. As a matter of fact, when did this Okunerere saga start? Answering this particular question will help us to know if the only concern of Bishop and the Diocese is to prevent heresy or if the Bishop and the Diocese have something personal against Obayi.

4.
Whoever is judging this case should also admit that, in the Catholic, priests are not allowed to own property. Whatever you use your priestly office to achieve in the Catholic Church belongs to the Catholic. The policy has been there before Obayi became a priest. Why is Obayi trying to own a ministry to himself?

Oga , you took a vow of obedience and poverty.

You cannot own land as a priest

What about Fr Edeh?

He has lots of businesses…

Okunerere is one of the priests I revered so much in this world, honestly I don't know what's going on in our church today. This Rev Fr. Okunerere and Mbaka are asset to church. They have done wonderfully well in Catholic church of Nsukka and Enugu diocese respectively. I thought that bishop is a learned man to know what's right and what's wrong, na wa oh. I watched the video live, abeg oh Fr. Paul Don't remove ur robe, we still need your service.

Same applies to him. He doesn't own anything

Say who?

He owns everything..

Father Edeh does not claim ownership of those things. Also, he does not preach heresy and does not resist being posted from one parish to another.
