Congrats sir!

Ineh Mic (Mike Inegbese) and his wife sure had to take pics with him. Doesn't make them holy!! LOL....

Alicia, Mrs. Inegbese usually looks flawless, maybe it's the Lagos sun that hit her hard or the wrong use of powder/foundation. Before anyone talks about her colour, she's of mixed parentage.

Linda is right & don't be too hasty in condemning! Okogie is the highest ranking Catholic in Nigeria.

Arinze’s hierarchy is in the Vatican not in Nigeria, where he’s lived for so long and serves as the current Cardinal Bishop of Velletri-Segni in Italy.

His Eminence looks very good for his age..........The Lord is definitely on his side.

Alicia who really are you? Have you ever ponder on your comments about others? Should you live the lives of others who you don't personally know? Who is a perfect person except God? Why would someone take it upon herself to talk about another person the way you do? God created everybody according to the way he deems fit, and any condemnation is directed to the maker. Criticism is accepted when and only if it is not insultive and condemning. You really need to check yourself from the inside. Something may be definitely wrong with you!

Congrats sir and may your Holy name be blessed. Missed the memories I shared with you on the altar!!!!

Yours Eminence, Your holy words are always with me!

Why do we not read comments properly?

All Alicia said is that in this picture Mary's skin looks red/pink and blotchy.

I know her also and know that she has beautiful skin.

However, this is not a very flattering picture of her. It may have been a long service on a hot day, hence her flushed look.

I assume the comment was/is based on what Alicia can see. This is not a nice picture of her simple. I cannot read anything insulting in her comments. In fact, there are some nasty comments on the Inegbese's in this thread and no-one made reference to them.

I think Alicia, you now have a larger than life persona on this blog! Lol!

Alicia says... said...

@Kemiismyrealname..., abi ooooo! I don't know this woman. never seen her, never heard of her, nothing! i just thought something might have been wrong and here someone is writing ANOTHER essay on what i said, not only dragging it out of context, but out of proportion. damn, I'm really starting to think people come to this blog for me.

Happy Birthday his Eminence. May the Lord keep you, you will see more years. Remain blessed.

I don't think there was any outright offence in her comment,(maybe only subliminal undertones)but I do ponder if it truly was necessary to even say ''that ladies skin looks red/pink and blotchy,I hope nothing is wrong with her skin''.Like,what really was the reason...It happens,no?Its not everything the eyes see that the mouth must talk.I think it was petty...No,nothing is wrong with her,but thanks for the concern.She is mixed and maybe she was flushed,hot or whatever the issue was,thats all.Even my comments too,are not even needed in her defense,but I just felt the need to say lets just as a whole try to stop finding the need to criticize or comment on EVERY woman we see,or we too will be criticized,publicly and in a discussion setting (like this),and trust me noone wants that...

Alicia pple dey find u oh.......pple if alicias comment bother u, read the story and then commot for here.

at this rate if alicia says hello, person go chop her head off

truth said...

The attacks on Alicia are unnecessary and come off as attention seeking comments.

...just saying

But the comments that are more confusing are from Lady T and Dr Chinedu DDS.

Lady T, as far as my understanding goes JESUS intercedes for us, not mother mary. Am I missing something here???

Now to the dentist, Dr Chinedu:

I almost flipped when I read "...may your Holy name be blessed."

Huh? Whose "Holy name" biko kwe??? Okogie???

Do catholics have these ideologies twisted or what?

Anonymous said...

@ truth...Mother mary intrecedes for us,the catholics.That is d catholic doctrine. Face your own church doctrine and do not criticize someone else's comment.

Juju said...

No he is not the highest. In terms of Nigerians, whether in or out that's Cardinal Arinze. Even if he is out bc he is not working here, then u have the Papal Nuncio, that represents the pope in any country that he is placed.

Happy birthday his eminence

Ch5335ng said...

Juju, he is the highest in Nigeria and not the highest Nigerian?

Get it? There's a difference!!!!!!!!!!!

truth said...

Fortunately for me, i do not stay wrapped up in misdirecting church doctrines. The only knowledge I embrace is what the bible tells me.

Catholics surely have a lot to learn about Jesus and the Holy Spirit. Even Mary believed in her son Jesus, in other words, she acknowledged that he was the Son of God and our intercessor.

Grab a bible and know the real order!God help you all!
Capish!

Lady T said...

@Truth Mother Mary intercede for us Catholics. What ever she asks of her son he grants. That's why we honor and not worship her.

Hold on to what you believe and we Catholics we remain with what we believe.

Remain bless

Gaius said...

Mr Truth please keep ur truth to urself and leave catholic with what they believe,u need to do ur research b4 making a wrong statement about catholic,without missing words catholic cover the whole Bible each year more than any church.We all serve 1 God.
