The Spiritual Director of Adoration Ministry, Enugu, Nigeria, AMEN, Rev. Fr. Ejike Mbaka has warmed the federal government of Nigeria against the looming danger that may erupt as a result of hardship and suffering meted on Nigerians due to the removal of fuel subsidy.

The fiery Priest, urged the Federal government to return the fuel subsidy since the removal has caused hardship to the people, adding that nobody can stop the looming protest when it starts.

Mbaka who made this call on Sunday during a homely titled, “Miracle of open doors” warned that the subsidy removal should not mean enriching the governors with billions every month and suffering the poor masses.

He warned those hijacking the economy of Nigeria and causing suffering on the people to beware of the anger of God, saying, “Hammer of God is coming to unlock the key of evil one, no padlock is difficult for hammer of God to shatter it”.

He urged President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to hire experts to help the federal government provide solution to the economic quagmire to ameliorate the suffering and hardship in the country.

He warned that all hands must be on desk to avert the looming danger that would befall on all the leaders irrespective of political party or political position saying, “once the power of God that’s prophetic begins to roll away from the sanctuary the government will begin to suffer”.

“Look at what is happening in the country with a buoyant riches of liquid and solid minerals with best ecological weather in the whole world. The demographic structure of the country is wonderful, the quality of children is excellence.

“A country blessed with children of orbit and excellence. Interns of education Nigerian children are among the best out oil is the best in the world. Our trees are wonderful, our land is fertile for any type of crops but look at us importing garri, rice, pencil, matches, soap, toothpaste, importing our own crude oil.

“If you go to filing station the tank you used to fill with N10k, you can’t fill it with N50k again and how much will be the salaries of our civil servants by the time they go to school and come back for two weeks has their salary not finished. This problem started from the past government but I believe the present government can do something.

“We can not continue like this. Shall we continue like this?, never we can not. I am not blaming anybody but I am thinking that If they can not provide solution, you look for those who can provide solution. I am not blaming the present government but I am noticing that there are many square pegs in round holes, people who do not know how to solve problems. Somebody who doesn’t know how to solve maths, you ask him to be a mathematics teacher, you can’t give what you don’t have.

“Nigeria is ganged up. Nigeria is locked up, Nigeria is in a siege, Nigeria is caged, Nigeria is passing through a casket experience. We need to be unlocked. Our youths are running away and when you run to another country without quality paper, you are there worst than what it ought to be here. Many are languishing having gone out but despite what they are suffering there it is better for them than when they are here.

“Why can’t there be steady power supply, why can’t the interest for producers and industrialist from the banks be lowered, how can somebody be effectively take a loan from the bank and be paying 40℅, how? It’s an indirect way of increasing criminality. Its a subtle way of perpetrating anachronisms of kidnapping and insecurity. It’s a matter of who can say it.

“I am not talking about protest but I mean that the present government should sit up or sit down and plan on what to do to ameliorate the suffering of the poor masses, Mortuaries are being filled with people who died out of hopelessness. It’s even effecting the spirituality and morality of our people. People can not eat. Imaging a parent with 6 children, his many cups of garri will they eat in a day?

“Some can’t even go to the hospital, if you go to the hospital and drugs are prescribed, how will you eat because it’s after meal that you take drugs. Can you even pay for the hospital bill? Every week the problem is multiplying, our case is becoming amoebic like amoebae, shapeless.

“Look at the wonderful communiqué the Bishops wrote, we have read them in the church, how will that be promulgated? I know that all in the Aso Rock, Major two groups, Christians and Muslims who are handling Bible and Quran. Either you’re reading the Bible or you’re reading the Quran, can’t you because of Jesus or Muhammad make this country a home worthy of existence.

“Why have you forgotten your spiritual origin? Shall we continue like this until when, is it not time we uncage this country? And Jesus looked up to heaven and say efe-tal open, can’t we open the doors of industrialization and technology. Look at what is happening in Bukinafaso, small country like one state in Nigeria has gone up to the space to mount technological facilities to take care of the whole county. If you take any pin anywhere in Bukinafaso that technological facilities will locate you.

“The international Monetary Fund, IMF has been asking them to come and borrow money and they said no that they don’t need it. Nigeria is perpetually borrowing and borrowing. Some of you may be blaming the present government not knowing that they have been caged. The money the last government burrowed. I don’t think the present government can finish paying it. Remember when they give you the money, you use what you have as collateral.

“I don’t know how many years oil they will carry before we begin to enjoy our own. What we are passing through now is hunger, famine time is coming, I told you this many years ago. Don’t sit down in your house, open your door and enter the bush to farm, go out and do something, don’t wait for government to do things for you otherwise you’re looking for magic but I am praying for miracle.

Miracle and magic are not the same. Miracle is supernaturally organic. Magic is the fake. It could be a product of deception. Look at what the Bible says in Book of Isaiah 35, “We shall tell those who are saddened to fear not” despite what is happening in the country, I tell you fear not but woe be tied to those who are perpetuating this over suffering and a cronyism thinking that nothing will happen. And say do you know who I am, I am the minister, Senator, Honourable representing this and that, I am the governor, President.

“I don’t care who you are. Who you are is six feet. In summary, one day all these wealth you have acquired will be somewhere and you can’t lay your hands on any of them. Vanity upon vanity, rubbish.

“The leaders have the key to open the doors of this suffering and people will begin to enjoy the wealth of the land. It’s now shameful thing to tell anybody that you’re from Nigeria because our youths are doing anything possible to survive. Man must survive. It’s an instinct, survival in a masculine psychology, one of the basic fact is how will I survive. And a time when immortality will become a culture and tradition. That’s what is happening and it will soon effect the church with the social media trend.

“The church leaders should prepare to give their faithful what to eat. The time for that is fast approaching because some of our church leaders are romancing unhealthily  with the so-called politicians that you can’t look at their face and tell them that what they’re doing is wrong.

“That the cost of oil in Nigeria is becoming something else we can’t imagine and somebody is telling us is because subsidy is removed and that is why. If the removal of subsidy will bring hardship to us, let them put it back. If subsidy means that governors should be enriching themselves in billions every months and the poor masses are suffering and dying, let them put back the subsidy because the danger of it is coming.

“I have been silent on it and once the power of God that prophetic begins to roll away from the sanctuary the government will begin to suffer. We can not continue like this. The doors must open. Look at the doors to foreign country open and the doors to enter Nigeria closed. How many Americans are coming to invest here, how many new companies are rising in Nigeria, even local investors are closing down.

“What you buy today, go back and price it tomorrow. Economic instability as a result if demonic inflation. Church has never had it this way in this country. The cars that have been climbing the hills have failed break and everybody should begin to call on his own God.

I believe there are gurus in this country that can come together and bring solution irrespective of party they are in because when what will happen, happens, nobody will tell anybody to protest or not to protest.

‘It will be a problem beyond party or whatever. Some of us who are not political, even though being constantly misunderstood, if I am saying the truth, they will misunderstand Mbaka. This is what I have been crying over the years that a time is coming and that time has come now. Mbaka close your mouth! Mbaka close your mouth!! it’s now happening.

“The question I am asking is how will our parents feed their children morning, afternoon and night, with what from what? We are not talking about school fees, house rent not even the fuel whatever because we can trek to wherever we used to enter motor to. It’s a matter of leaving very early in the morning.

“We are going back to our roots, those who used to eat only Indomie are now looking for wewe to help them eat. Back to the root. Are you going to the village, do you have any house in the village? Is the farm safe? The cancer in Nigeria has become maligners and metastasize. We need miracle of God to open the door of healings,” he said.

The Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) has said its presidential candidate, Peter Obi, remains the most popular opposition candidate capable of leading a proposed coalition to challenge President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in the 2027 presidential election.

The National Publicity Secretary of the NDC, Osa Director, stated this while reacting to efforts by the G100, a group seeking to facilitate the emergence of a single presidential candidate among opposition parties ahead of the election.

Director said the NDC had been approached by the group and was not opposed to its proposal, but insisted that the candidate chosen to lead the opposition coalition should be the “brightest, best and most popular” among the presidential contenders. According to him, the NDC believes Peter Obi meets those criteria.

“The G100 has approached the NDC and we are not opposed to their suggestions. However, we are of the opinion that the brightest, best and most popular candidate in the opposition should lead the coalition, and that is our presidential candidate, Peter Obi,” he said.

He added that the NDC expected the G100 to act in the broader interest of Nigerians as discussions continue over the possibility of presenting a single opposition candidate against the incumbent.

“We want to believe that the G100 is working in the interests of Nigerians. At the end of the day, it is the electorate that would determine who leads them,” Director said.

The development comes amid growing efforts by opposition groups and political parties to explore a possible alliance ahead of the 2027 presidential election.

The proposed arrangement is aimed at bringing opposition presidential candidates together to consider the possibility of presenting a single candidate against President Tinubu, who is seeking another term in office.

While discussions around opposition unity continue, the NDC’s position is that popularity and acceptability among voters should be key considerations in determining who ultimately leads any proposed coalition.

Insecurity: Nigeria must not become a killing field — Obi tells FGi

Former Anambra State Governor and 2023 presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has called for urgent government action to halt the wave of killings, abductions and destruction of communities in parts of Nigeria.

Obi, in a statement posted on X on Sunday, said recent deadly attacks in Benue, Plateau and Niger states had highlighted the worsening security situation in the country.

He described the three states, which are located in Nigeria’s North-Central region, as the latest areas to suffer attacks that have claimed scores of lives and displaced residents.

Obi cited the attack in Jwak Maitumbi, Mangu Local Government Area of Plateau State, where he said at least 23 people were officially reported killed, while residents put the death toll at more than 30.

He added that over 45 houses were reportedly destroyed in the attack.

The former governor also referred to recent attacks in Borgu, Niger State, where reports indicated that more than 40 people were killed and over 100 others abducted, although he acknowledged that the figures remained contested.

Obi said the situation in Benue was equally troubling, with communities facing repeated attacks, killings, abductions and destruction of homes and livelihoods.

“What is happening in Benue, Plateau and Niger is similar to what is happening elsewhere in the country, with some attacks even going unreported,” he said.

According to him, the recurring attacks should no longer be viewed as separate incidents but as a broader national security crisis requiring a coordinated response.

“Nigeria is not officially at war, yet citizens are being attacked in their villages, abducted after prayers, driven from their homes and stripped of their farms,” Obi said.

He urged the federal, state and local governments to take immediate measures to protect vulnerable communities and prevent further attacks.

Obi called for improved intelligence gathering and rapid-response capabilities, as well as intensified efforts to rescue abducted Nigerians and apprehend those responsible for the violence.

“I urge governments at all levels to wake up to their responsibility and take urgent and decisive action to end this madness once and for all,” he said.

The former presidential candidate said the government should focus on preventing attacks rather than merely responding after lives had been lost.

“We cannot keep counting bodies after every attack. We must prevent these attacks before they happen,” he said.

Obi stressed that the protection of lives and property remained the fundamental responsibility of government.

“Protecting lives and property is the most basic duty of government. Nigerians deserve nothing less,” he said.

He concluded by warning against allowing the deteriorating security situation to become normalised, declaring: “Nigeria must not become a killing field.”
