Akpabio redeems pledge, delivers SUV to 2face (PHOTO)

For standing by 2faceidibia through trying times and finally marrying him to typify "The Akwa Ibom Woman", Governor Godswill Akpabio last week Friday in Eket promised Mr. & Mrs. Innocent Idibia an SUV Vehicle on the occasion of their traditional marriage in the State.

Government Press today released a photo showing Annie and 2face being presented with the SUV by the state’s commissioner for Information, Aniekan Umanah on behalf of the Governor. There has been media bashing on the profligacy of the Governor, but the Commissioner has since defended the actions of the Governor.

What is your opinion of this goodwill by Godswill??

What if a Woman became POPE???

What if a Woman became POPE, would she be called Pope, The Popetess or Mome?

Pope Francis 1

Among the most vocal controversies in the Catholic Church in the late 20th century and early 21st has been the question of the ordination of women. While any Catholic male could theoretically become the next pope, there's one group who's not even in the running: women.

As more Protestant denominations, including the Church of England, have begun ordaining women, the Catholic Church's teaching on the all-male priesthood has come under attack, with some claiming that the ordination of women is simply a matter of justice, and the lack of such ordination is proof that the Catholic Church does not value women. The Church's teaching on this matter, however, cannot change.

According to the Catholic Church catechism, Jesus Christ chose 12 men to be his apostles, and they in turn chose men to continue their ministry. Therefore, the Catholic Church argues it is bound by that precedent.

Stoves used to burn ballot papers after election

Because the Catholic Church has yet to allow women to be ordained as priests (they are only allowed to become nuns), and the Pope is selected from the world's cardinals--who were once priests.

Pope Benedict XVI stepped down to go into history books as the first to do so in about 600 years of the existence of the 1.2 billion member church. And on Wednesday 13^th March, 2013, 115 old men gathered in what is known as the Papal Conclave to elect a new pope and after two black smokes to suggest the process ended in a stalemate in as many occasions, a third smoke, now white smirked off the Sistine Chapel’s chimney to herald the election of a new pope which was to be Pope Francis the First. A Cardinal, Jorge Bergoglio from Argentina.

One can only wonder why women are never ordained and made Cardinals in the Catholic Church.

As a Church representing the body of Christ who didn’t exclude the women from his teachings, he taught all and welcomed all with openness of mind. This should be the practice from any congregation representing the body of Christ.

There is also the arguable proposition, that after he resurrected from death, he first introduced Himself to a woman. Mary and Mary Magdalene stood by Him as He suffered through crucifixion. Mary and other female disciples of Jesus Christ also washed His body and laid Him in a cave. Jesus Himself healed the woman with the issue of blood and many others

These are just the many that readily came to mind. We can hardly ever mention all his benevolence to women.

Priests were also allowed to marry and have children.Whether a woman in that position would act rationally or not is another topic, but shouldn’t there be a woman Pope or whatever name she deems fit to lead the Catholic congregation?

The only thing to bore a semblance of Pope was who we learnt dressed as a man and was elected under false pretenses. After the discovery that she was a woman, the cardinals decided to physically check the genitals of all future prospective popes. The ceremony involved the candidate sitting on a chair with a hole in the seat. The chair was then lifted over the cardinals who would have a good grope. I'm not sure if it still goes on though and is subject to probes.
