Did Kwenu steal or copy this BNW Exclusive Pastoral Statement Issued by the Catholic Bishops of the Onitsha and Owerri Ecclesiastical Provinces ?

It would be an unpardonable sin if the centre for Kema Chikwe's disgusting propaganda has resorted to crass plagiarism.

When did it become Igbo culture to copy stuff and display without giving credit?

In this life there is only one sin which will not be forgiven.

"And so I tell you, all manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men" (Matthew 12:31)

Plagiarism is not an unpardonable sin.

What is most offensive about the conduct of kwenu.com and its publisher is that they made a conscious effort to hide the fact that kwenu.com copied the piece from BNW. I know this because on the very page where kwenu.com listed the article, there were articles from Vanguard and other sources. The difference is that kwenu.com properly gave credit to all the sources that it copied from, except BNW. Perhaps, the owners and operators of kwenu.com could explain why they failed to let their readers know that kwenu.com copied the article from BNW.

kwenu.com
Probably needs to change her name to Nigeria kwenu.com, because what kwenu displayed here is a typical 419 that Nigeria is famous for. But what amaezes me is why an organization like kwenu that lives in a law and order society will resort to this type of criminal act to further her selfish interest.

Kwenu has provided succour for Dr. Acho Orabuchi and the PNF .

The lies are already flowing Igbo Forum, an internet-based discussion group, created and moderated by the author of this article, has over 1,000 active and inactive subscribers of Igbo ethnic extraction all over the world.

Where did Iheanacho Orabuchi get 1000 active and inactive Igbo from?

Acho, Cornelius and Ene:

Read my lips, the difference between 1,000 and "589" is 411

I read in Yahoo about that guy changing his surname from Ohanwuchi to Orabuchi? What is he running from? Is it also true that the 589 number includes many of his handles?

OU:

It is interesting that kwenu.com is working with Acho Orabuchi. I have been following the nasty verbal war between Mr. Ubanese Nwanganga and Peter Opara, published at kwenu.com. Unlike the ill-advised Acho Ohanwuchi who began to attack BNW for the Aham Nwankwo piece, I have not seen either Nwanganga or Opara attack kwenu.com for publishing the articles.

Meanwhile, a copy of Peter Opara's attack on Nwanganga was forwarded to me from Okenwa Nwosu. I understand the sender got it from Acho Orabuchi's yahoo list where Okenwa posted the attacks. Acho Orabuchi has not called Ubanese Nwanganga or Peter Opara to verify the information that Okenwa Nwosu is posting.

As for copying BNW articles without permision without giving credit, I hope that kwenu.com knows what it is doing. They have opened a dangerous can of worms, and we know BNW does not lack options for dealing with such things.

Orabuchi is the small fry in the whole mess. He should hope that BNW people do not turn their pen on him; there will be no place for him to hide.

Remember when I alerted this forum that igbo_forum was manipulating the laws of physiscs. I put nothing past a man who had no qualms about zonking the archive of such a list. Maybe they arrived at the 1000 figure by adding that special number called the "Nigerian factor."
