Old Catholic Church now in Nigeria

Image
The news about the pioneer Nigerian Police Catholic chaplain is not new again even though some people have not really heard about it in detail. The Old Catholic and Apostolic church had been in existence even before the then Rev Fr. Fagbohun of Ekiti Catholic diocese joined the church which the Catholic Diocese of Ekiti really went against. He states that  The formal separation occurred over the issue of Papal’s universal authority. It started in The Netherlands in 1724, creating the first Old Catholic Church.   Fr.

A star was born. From a hamlet in Yorubaland of West Africa, he would go on to become the first professor of neurosurgery in Nigeria, the world’s most populous black nation. He was named EMMANUEL OLATUNDE OLANREWAJU ALABA the son of ODEKU. -His ...

ADULTERY: YORUBA'S VIEW

PART 1 THE NOTION OF ADULTERY IN YORUBA CULTURE Adultery is not only being focused on by religion and the society alone, it also exists in African culture, and this is why our focus in this chapter will be on the notion of adultery in Yoruba culture. Also, we were able to show the difference between polygamy and adultery, this is done because we do not want people to consider polygamy an adultery act, whereas it is being considered a type of marriage in most African countries, even though it is not common in some western countries, but it is common in Yoruba culture. So, how does Yoruba culture view adultery? Before we go into their notion on adultery, we shall firstly discuss morality in Yoruba culture which will then lead us to marriage in Yoruba traditional thought system, and this will enable us see reasons why adultery is considered immoral, and we shall also discuss the place of women when it comes to adultery, and this will also...
