      Btw, why are you people upset? Fighting for a position in a religion that's not for you and one that wasn't started by Africans, so why the noise? Christianity is only in Africa because of the need for imperialism, colonization, and slavery, FACT.
      Christianity was not brought to Africa with good intentions, yet you people cannot free yourselves from mental slavery.

      A prime example is this: Every time something bad happens in Nigeria, people start shouting for God to do something instead of getting off of their asses to do it. Waiting for a miracle that will never happen.
      Do you think America and Europe, and now many countries in Asia, got to where they are today by sitting on their asses waiting for "God" to do something? Its very disheartening.
      Stop using religion as a fucking crutch! A lot of Africans are even more religious/Christian than the Europeans!! They're all laughing at you while they continue to bleed Africa dry.
      WAKE UP!!!!!!!!

  3. So what inda experience does an African priest need 2 have B4 they can qualify as pope. This is another form of white supremacy shit in the Vatican 2

  4. Smh... This is just high level of irreverence for the African race. Well, we all know an african as a pope can only happen 6 months after rapture, that's how least likely is it.

  6. WELL...I JUST KNEW THIS COMMENT WAS GOING TO COME OUT SOMETIME. I'D THOUGHT ABOUT THE NOMINATION FROM A WHITE MAN'S POINT OF VIEW AND THIS WAS WHAT I THOUGHT THEY'D SAY. "IMAGINE THE AUDACITY FOR ANOTHER BLACK MAN TO HAVE SUCH POWER TO RULE. WE WON'T ALLOW IT!". RACISM IS STILL ALIVE, FRIENDS AND FAMILY. HAPPY SUNDAY!

  15. In as much as I try not to be dragged in any form of debate,as it pertains d Papacy. I beg to disagree that Africa has comeof age when it comes to who produce d new vicar of Christ.
    Cardinal Arinze who has spent more than 20years and occupies one of d most strategic positions at d Vatican,Prefect of d Sacraments,which is second after that of Faith. is no stranger or novice when it comes to d issue of Papcy.
    btw we implore d Holy spirit to guide the princes of d church as they elect the new bishop of Rome,successor of St Peter and Supreme pontiff.
    we Catholics don't care where he comes from,coz in Christ Jesus there's no east or west.

      PLEASE EDUCATED YOURSELF! When the Catholic church was behind and supported the enslavement of Africans to which they benefited from immensely. Africans need to wake up and stop being slaves to the white man's religion.
      The Bible even says that dark people are dark because they're cursed.
      What kind of shit is that?

      IMPORTED RELIGIONS ARE WHY AFRICA IS IN THE CONDITION IT IS IN TODAY. IT HAS MADE US A VERY DOCILE AND PASSIVE PEOPLE.

    How many times will i tell you fucking Africans to leave the white man's religion for them. Its not made for us, there are all sorts of racist texts. Also, the Roman Catholic church supported AND profited heavily from slavery!! Wake up people and free yourselves from colonial slavery. Trust me, you will be happy you did. There are plenty of ways to lead a spiritual life without conforming to ideologies that aren't "African"friendly.
    This is the main reason why much of Africa is in its piss poor state today.

    ReplyDelete
  86. Wow! Having looked at the list of the most likely candidates to replace the pope, I found out there were two west Africa candidates. One from Nigeria, and the other our sister country Ghana.I was able to discover majority points at the Nigerian candidate. However it pains me so much that he is likely not to win. Not because he may not win the votes,or deserves to be the pope, but because of this racism factor. Today in the world the racism is unthinkable even in the holy church. I keep wondering what kind of christanity is been preached??? Also in the african community both at home and in dispora, tribalism in schools, at work, in the market, in marriage, in politics,and most importantly in the CHURCH is the cap of the day.
    I think its time we think deep and ask our inner minds, if indeed we profess true christanity?
    Even if you belong to the muslim faith or any other faith, I'm sure your doctrines teaches about love. Love knows no boundaries,tribe or colour.
    Jesus Returns soonest. So let's build a good relationship with God. Tribalism or racism might look so little, but indeed it is huge.
    Let's stop all this self hate, and tribal war that exists in this blog, and in all aspect of our lives.
    God bless you all.

    The one that loves all.

  97. “I’m certain a pope will come from the new continents but whether it will be now, I have my doubts,” he said.

    “In Europe, we have many very able people, and the Africans are still not so well known and maybe do not have the experience yet.”

    that's the statement from the popes brother. he only said he has his doubts he hasn't written Africans off. y linda has rephrased it to make it look otherwise i do not understand. guess u just want more hits on ur blog.

  98. Didn't know you needed experience to be a Pope. For years the Europeans had a monopoly on it. Now that there is a real chance of an African achieving that level, "we have no experienced". What do you expect from the Ratzingers, a bunch of Nazis. It's well documented, the former pope was in Hitler's youth wing.

    What exactly is the experience needed? Molest little boys 101? One sweet day my fellow black-Africans will wake up and realise they are pawns in an imported religion. The willingness to accept and kneel before a "God" that does not look like us is the genesis of innate "African inferiority complex" - think deep and think fast.
    Pope Ratzinger a German as Pope? A German with a Nazi past. And then the audacity to state there is an issue with an African Pope. If that is not enough of an insult and a reality check then l dont know what is.
