Obi Cubana: Radical Catholic Priest Slams Ostentatious Display At Burial

Radical Roman Catholic priest, Father Kelvin Ugwu has blasted the ostentatious display of money at the weekend burial ceremony of the mother of Obi Cubana saying it is an insult to throw money at people.

He said that from the videos he had seen that there was no difference between the throw-out of money and the feeding of animals, saying that even some animals have more decorum in eating than the scramble for money that was displayed at the burial ceremony in Oba, Anambra State at the weekend.

Father Ugwu drawing an analogy with Jesus, The Christ, said that when he had opportunity to help people, that the Lord did not throw bread and fish at them, but sat them down quietly and blessed them.

 GreenWhiteGreen GWG reports that the Nigeria-born but Malawi-based radical priest and activist made the assertions on his Facebook page where he has a huge following. He, however, did so without mentioning Obi Cubana by name.

He said:

I know there are certain abnormalities that have become normaltsuch that you dare not question them.

You may not agree with me and that is fine. But I will still say this. . .

It is very INSULTING to be THROWING monies on people while they SCRAMBLE to pick them.

It is what I keep saying. . . a mental problem, a void, someone seeking to show the other that he is above and superior.

There is a reason why that money cannot be given to the people in a way that will respect their dignity, . . .the reason is, it will not create that “show off” which the person spraying the money earnestly seeks to achieve.

I can only imagine how Christ fed 5,000 men. . . If you count children and women, I am sure they will be close to 15,000 to 20,000.

If it were the people of my generation, we would have been throwing fish and bread on the people and watch in excitement as they scramble for them.

Continuing without calling out Obi Cubana by name, he said:

Some of the videos I have been seeing coming from the funeral, there is no difference between what is there and how we feed animals. In fact, even some animals have dignified ways they collect their food.

Note: Have I said people should not spend their money? No! Have I called them money ritualistic? No! This is for those who are already planning to misunderstand the post.
