There is this false impression that when people dance or exhibit certain forms of bodily movement during Holy Mass or any other liturgical prayer, they are not praying well enough. The idea is theologically absurd and bereft of a reasonable comprehension of worship. Of course, we all agree that there are specific rules in every circumstance. For example, it’s not every type of dance we execute on every occasion among the Igbo…
Dans l’évangile d’aujourd’hui, Jésus révèle aux disciples la condition pour être sauvé. Sur la route avec ses disciples, un jeune homme, très religieux s’est précipité pour confirmer sa place au royaume de Dieu. “Bon Maître, que dois-je faire pour avoir la vie éternelle en héritage ?” Sachant qu’il respectait bien les lois, il cherchait donc à ce que Jésus le félicite pour être un homme de bien. Mais dans son habitude, après l’avoir…
Aujourd’hui, nous célébrons la fête de La Croix Glorieuse. C’est une fête qui souligne la centralité de la croix de Jésus dans la vie chrétienne. C’est aussi une manière de proclamer la victoire de Jésus sur la mort à travers un objet de la mort. C’est tellement important car le message qu’on envoyait au monde en crucifiant publiquement une personne était : « méfiez-vous car ceci pourrait aussi vous arriver. » Voilà pourquoi pour…
Hier, nous avons constaté que Jésus ne s’adressait plus directement aux scribes et aux pharisiens, mais plutôt à ses disciples et à tous ceux qui le suivaient. Il leur a montré un chemin à suivre pour rester vrais et fidèles à leur engagement. Aujourd’hui, il va encore plus loin. Il les met en garde contre de faux leaders qui prétendent leur montrer le chemin, quand en réalité, ils ne connaissent même pas…
Hail, thou star of Sudan The slave called the fortunate Ahead of your horrific ordeal Born in a southern city of Sudan You freely lived with your siblings Prior to your dreadful kidnap Just at nine years you were plucked Forcibly abducted from your sacred land And thus, started your stations of the cross Passing from one master to the other You were sold five times in your road to exile But…
Do you know one thing I like about Nigeria? It’s effortless to sit down in our houses and criticize the government or stay in our oyibo home and make noise online. And I’m guilty of one of these two sins. Let it suck in, but silence is never an alternative here. So, let me say my mind here. This night, prophetic utterances will be made about this nation during the crossover Night,…
In her book “Dressed for a Dance in the Snow”, Monika Zgustavo narrates the story of Zayara Vesyolaya and eight other women who survived the Soviet labour camp at Gulag. At the beginning of her book, she insisted on letting the world hear the stories of these incredible women. She wanted to make sure they are known by their names because, according to her (which is obvious), the world does not generally…
Kimberly Crenshaw is an American lawyer, civil rights advocate, philosopher, critical race theorist and University professor. She coined the term intersectionality. In a Ted talk she gave on 27 October 2016, she made one beautiful observation: “Without frames that are capacious enough to address all the ways that disadvantages and burdens play out for all members of a particular group, the efforts to mobilize resources to address a social problem will be…
This week, we all assisted in a state-sponsored drama where the governor of Benue State, Samuel Ortom, publicly made a mockery of Justice by allegedly forcing a battered woman back to the home she was assaulted in. The woman, Dr. Ifeyinwa Angbo, made a public video where she narrated how her husband, Mr. Pius Angbo has been assaulting her since they married six years ago. Nigerians at home and in the diaspora…
