Catholic priest of Nsukka Diocese, Reverend Father Paul Obayi, an Associate Professor, popularly known as Fr Okunerere, has finally made a U-turn on quitting Catholicism and Priesthood.

Fr Obayi who spoke about an hour in a video obtained by Vanguard, gave reasons he fled up and poured his anger last week at the adoration ground.

Recall that last week, Fr Okunerere spoke vociferously against marginalization and injustices meted against him in his diocese by his Bishop. “I was looking for a land where I will conduct my adoration but couldn’t find. I rented a place behind Queens College Nsukka and started my adoration there. Bishop Onah chased me out of the place, saying I was causing noise and distracting the students of Queens.

“I was posted to Obollo where I spent N10 million to build a church. The Bishop came to dedicate it and on the day of the dedication, everybody was acknowledged but they refused to acknowledge me, Fr Obayi who built the church. Just after 2 months of dedicating the church, I was transferred to Ikem, where everybody knows that the roads there are filled with kidnappers.

“During the Bishop’s Episcopal ordination, I supplied drinking water free to everybody in attendance.
