Father Mbaka Speaks On President Buhari’s Administration Today –A Must Read







Rev. Fr. Ejike Mbaka, the Spiritual Director of the Adoration Ministry, on today advised President Muhammadu Buhari against marginalization of any part of the country in his appointments.

In the statement by his media aide, Mr. Maximus Ugwuoke, in response to media reports that the cleric attacked the President in a recent message, where he lamented the level of hunger and hardship in the country, Mbaka said that he only admonished the President against marginalizing parts of the country in his appointments.

The statement reads,


“Fr. Mbaka equally advised the President on being careful about how he appoints people to prominent positions, so that no region will appear marginalised, as happened in Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation board and charged the President to make sure that those around him are not misguiding him.


“He advised the President on human empowerment and making sure that those who worked for him (Buhari) during the election ought to be empowered – as one good turn deserves another.”

“Fr. Mbaka merely reinstated the obvious sufferings that Nigerian are facing (which even the President himself had at points acknowledged and sued for patience and perseverance) and advised the President on the ways to tackle it, that is, by engaging economic gurus and listening to good advisers.

“He pleaded the President to begin a war against hunger, as many are dying hopelessly.

“He stressed that if the hunger, anger and danger continue, Nigerians may not vote for him again, as they would mistake him for the cause of these maladies while in fact he is a solution.

Drama as Muslim Followers Storm Osun State to Force Girls to Wear Hijab In Their School.

Several muslim clerics took over a school in Osun to ensure compliance with the rule on wearing hijab to school by Muslim students.

Up to 25 muslim clerics in Osun on Monday morning visited St. Charles High School in Osogbo and Ife Oluwa Middle School to enforce the June 3rd court judgement that female Muslim students should start wearing hijab to schools.

According to ThisDay, the clerics went to the school around 8am to enforce the court order.

The principal of St. Charles’ High School, Mr. Anthony Famoriyo, reportedly informed them that he could not fulfil their request because he was yet to be directed by the Ministry of Education to that effect.

Famoriyo, when contacted by journalists inside the school, said he told them that no teacher would prevent any student from wearing hijab the moment they receive such directive from the state government.

However, Islamic followers forcefully enforced the use of Hijab on those identified to be Muslim girls in the school.

Academic activities in the school were distrupted as the group also stormed classrooms to stop teachers on duty.

NEWS FLASH!! See What Happened in Osun School as Students Appear in Garments (Photos)

Some students of Baptist High School, Adeeke, Iwo caused a stir among their colleagues as they appeared in the school in choir robes and other church garments.

Our correspondent, who visited the school observed that the students came late to the school around 8:35 on Tuesday and headed to their various classes as their colleagues hailed them for their courage.

Many female Muslim students of the school wore hijab on their uniforms and some members of the Christian Association of Nigeria are in the school to monitor the reaction of the teachers to the mode of dressing of their children.

No student was chased out of the classes for appearing in different clothes and all the students irrespective of their chosen uniforms are being taught by their teachers.

Earlier, Justice Jide Falola of the Osun State High Court had on June 3 given a verdict that Muslim students should be allowed to wear hijab in all public schools in the state because it was part of their fundamental rights.

The CAN had held an emergency meeting following the judgment and threatened that it would direct Christian pupils to start wearing choir robes and other religious garments to schools should the state government implement the judgement.

Primate Ayodele who Prophesied Keshi’s Death- Have Drop Another shocking Prophecy About Buhari And Osibanjo.

Primate Ayodele: God is angry with Nigeria

.Says Buhari should do things right quickly


Primate Elijah Babatunde Ayodele is Head and Spiritual Leader of Inri Spiritual and Evangelical Church, Oke-Afa, Isolo, Lagos. Sunday Vanguard was with him recently during which his past prophecies were reviewed. He said God is angry with Nigeria, explaining that it is the reason things were not going on well with the country. He, however, in fulfilment of his promise to, as directed by the Lord, gather prophets across Nigeria to pray for the country as President Muhammadu Buhari alone could not do it, said he and some other prophets had started praying for Nigeria.

Majority of Ayodele’s predictions are packaged in a book his church publishes on annual basis called, Warning to the Nations (WTN).

The prophecies are also published in national dailies.

For instance, on page 72 of the WTN 2014/15 edition, he said the spirit of God said Americans must rebuke the loss of a prominent boxer. Alas on June 3, 2016, former world heavyweight boxing champion, Mohammed Alli died at the age of 74. On page 76 of WTN 2015/16 edition, he said: “PDP will undergo changes and needs prayers to escape crisis.” There have been series of leadership instability in the former ruling party to prove Ayodele right. Only recently, court removed Ahmed Makarfi and Ali Modu Sheriff as leaders of the party although the Board of Trustees (BOT) only this week resolved to hand over the party secretariat to the Makarfi’s caretaker committee. The fact of instability still remains as that in itself is still working as an infringement of the ruling of the court.

On page 74 of the same WTN 2015/16 edition, he speaks on Chibok girls: “Some of the abducted girls will be found.” Aisha was found and Serah Lula another Chibok girl were found making two so far and efforts, according to the authority, are on to ensure that others are found. On page 114 he says: “Liverpool FC will not perform as expected.” That also has come to past as Sevilla beat Liverpool in the UEFA Lead Final to clinch the trophy.

As far back as 2015, the primate had prophesied that discovery of crude oil in Lagos and it is published on page 99 of the WTN 2014/15 edition. Today, it can conveniently be confirmed that Lagos has now joined the oil producing states of Nigeria as crude oil has actually been discovered recently. The man of God had said in the 2014/15 edition of the WTN on page 104 that, “There will be scarcity of aviation fuel over a period time as some airlines will be grounded.” On May 16, 2016, Punch reported that airlines were grounded due to aviation fuel scarcity and since then flights schedule have been cancelled and being rescheduled.

On page 9 he says Nollywood should rebuke death of one of their members. Just few days ago, Nollywood actress, Henrietta Kosoko, died. And on page 38 of the Warnings to the Nation 2014/15 edition he says, “Enugu State must work hard against violence and destruction.” That itself had happened in the form of the suspected herdsmen attacks unleashed on the a part of the state.


Another big one is the prediction warning the Nigerian Football Federation (NFF) against losing a national coach. With Steven Keshi’s death, does one need to think twice to know that a national coach has, indeed, been lost by the Nigerian football community? Because he once told this reporter that he wrote and sent a warning to Keshi when he was alive. He also once said it would be difficult to remove Saraki acrimoniously and that APC should be careful so that his removal would not cause trouble within the party. He had also predicted that managing directors of some banks would run into trouble, and he specifically mentioned some banks and they are among banks in trouble now.

Ayodele had also said and it is reproduced here: “After the removal of PDP from office, militants will arise from Niger Delta who will be worse than Boko Haram because they will do what Boko Haram did not do.” Presently, the Niger Delta Avengers are doing things that are worse and more dangerous than Boko Haram had ever done. He said that the militants that would arise would have foreign backup and that United States of America would know about who the back ups will be. He said the back ups would be two powerful nations from Asia part of the world and that Nigerian government should therefore endeavour to dialogue with the militants.

He said APC would still have problem and that the party would break. He also said Nigeria would be one of two things: disintegrate or go back to regional system of government. He also said that some of the foreign investors would leave Nigeria and earlier before the emergence of President Muhammadu Buhari and after he had emerged, Ayodele said Nigeria would experience measure, which the country is presently experiencing. It was part of the things he had said in the past, which was published in Champion of December 30, 2015 page 20 that, “Babangida should pray for his health and some other prominent leaders.”

He also said that President Buhari and his vice, Osinbajo would have problem. He said in the North there would be religious misunderstanding between the Muslims and Christians, which the nation has just witnessed.

In conclusion, the Inri Church leader maintained that he always felt bad whenever his negative predictions came to past due to lack of heeding. He had however promised to come out with the new edition of his Warnings to the Nations (WTN) in July.

Tension In Kaduna As Muslim Youths Attack Another Christian, Their Reason For Attacking Him Will Shock You. (See Photo)

Yesterday, there was confusion in some parts of Kakuri, in Kaduna South Local Government Area, when a 41-year-old carpenter, Mr. Francis Emmanuel Francis, almost lost his right eye on Tuesday following an attack on him by Muslim youths for not observing the Ramadan fast,Punch reports.

This is coming barely a week after a 74-year-old, Mrs Bridget Agbahime, was murdered in Kano for allegedly blaspheming Prophet Mohammed.
An eyewitness account had it that the carpenter courted trouble for himself when he was spotted by some Muslim boys in the Sokoto Road area of Kakuri, at about 2.30pm, eating when others were supposed to be observing the fast. This drew the ire of the youth who started beating him.

Emmanuel, according to the eyewitness, was given the beating of his life and subsequently rushed to the St. Gerard Catholic Hospital, where he is currently receiving medical treatment.

He was inflicted with deep machete cuts on his head and other parts of his body during the incident.

Narrating his ordeal to journalists from his hospital bed, Emmanuel said he was taking his launch when the boys, numbering about six, descended on him on the grounds that he was not fasting.

He said,

“I went to buy wood to do some work. When I came back, I bought food to eat. As I was eating, about six Hausa boys came and asked me whether I was a Muslim or a Christian. I did not answer them. They asked me why I was not fasting. I told them that I am not a Muslim.

“Before I know it, one of them slapped me. As I stood up, the rest came and surrounded me and started attacking me with knives. I didn’t know them. Nobody could come to my aid because of the type of dangerous knives they were carrying.

“They used cutlasses, scissors and knives. I became unconscious; I don’t even know who brought me to the hospital.”

TOO BAD ! Read How A Pastor Pushed His Female Church Member Into River And Ran Away With Her Car

The Imo State have arrested Pastor Delight Arinze Okorie of Watered Ground Ministry, Atta Nnenasa, for allegedly stealing his member’s Lexus jeep and attempting to murder her in the process.

The Police Public Relations Officer, PPRO, in the state, Andrew Enwerem, said that the pastor prophesied to his member, Miss Chioma Oleka that she was possessed by marine spirit which needed to be cast out to enable her get married.

He then lured her to Nwangele River for deliverance. While the deliverance was going on, he allegedly pushed her into the river for her to drown. As she refused to drown, Okorie allegedly went into the Jeep and brought out a cutlass, with which he inflicted severe injuries on her.

When Oleka fainted, Okorie thought that she had died and he immediately zoomed off in her jeep with the registration number: Rivers KPR 243 HF. Policemen attached to Nwangele division, on routine patrol, found her helpless body and took her to the hospital, where she was later revived.

Through intensive investigation and manhunt, Okorie was arrested with the jeep, at Orlu. Enwerem averred that Okorie has confessed to the crime, blaming the devil.

Shocking News!!! Pastor's wife Fights With Only P@nts and Bra In The Street (See Photos)

A woman who was said to be an evangelist has gotten a divorce papers after she fought several people in the street with only pants and bra on.

To the former husband, Joseph Aduwo, the dissolution of the 10-year-old marriage is good riddance to bad rubbish.

“My wife, who is a pastor, an evangelist, a church interpreter and women leader, fought with nine persons in a day on our street, wearing only bra and underpants. “She is a shameless street fighter,’’ he told the court.

The businessman said his 42-year-old wife, Rachel who is an evangelist is unworthy of her calling.

The President of the court, Mr Adegboyega Omilola, who gave the verdict, cited frequent fighting between the man and his wife.

Omilola said he was convinced that the couple could no longer live together as the petitioner insisted on divorce after several unsuccessful interventions.

Nawaoooo for this kind thing smh.

El-Rufai: Governor asks Christians to support religious censorship bill

Mallam Nasiru El Rufai


The Kaduna state Governor, Nasir El-Rufai who was represented by the deputy Governor, Mr Barnabas Bala,held a meeting with members of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) in the state, to discuss about the religious censorship bill and ask for their support.

This coming barely few days after the President of Omega Fire Ministries (OFM) Apostle Johnson Suleiman cursed Governor Nasir El-Rufai, because of the controversial bill.

Speaking to newsmen after the meeting, El-Rufai’s spokesperson, Mr Samuel Aruwan, said the government will go ahead with the bill.

He said “This is not a new law, it has existed since 1984, with amendments in 1987 and 1996.

“The bill, by virtue of Section 45(1) of the 1999 Constitution, is in order and does not offend the provisions of the constitution. The provisions of the bill are in tandem with the Constitution.”

“There is nothing in the bill that suggests any effort to abolish, stop or derogate on the freedom of religion and religious beliefs.

“It merely seeks to ensure that religious preaching and activities in the state are conducted in ways that do not threaten public order, public safety, and to protect the rights and freedom of other persons,” Aruwan said.

The Kaduna state CAN Chairman, Bishop George Dodo, on his part said “I don’t think any governor has the power to enact law that will supersede what is in the constitution.

“The constitution guarantees every person the right to practice his/her religion, I don’t think there is any governor that can enact a law in that regard.

“Governors ask for prayers in all places of worship, so how would they enact a law that will ban the practice of religion.”

The Guardian reports that Islamic scholars in the state have also rejected the bill.

Senator Shehu Sani also called on the people of the state to reject the bill, saying such can only build dictatorship.

TB Joshua Assists Nigerians Deported from Libya with N4m



Thirty-nine of the reported 172 Nigerians who were deported from Libya on Friday 11th March 2016 were received by Pastor T.B. Joshua of The Synagogue, Church Of All Nations (SCOAN) during his church service on Sunday 13th March.

According to a post on the church’s official Facebook page, the deportees were each given the sum of N100,000 by Joshua, who is well known for his charitable gestures.

Fidelis Onos, who spoke on behalf of the group, said that most of them had been imprisoned for up to one year in Libya after they were suddenly arrested.


Many were working as bricklayers in the North African country where they had sought 'greener pastures'.

“We are not here to blame Libya,” Fidelis is quoted as saying. “If Nigeria was okay, we would never have left in the first place. It’s the war in Libya that turned it to what it is today – in a place where there is no government, what can you expect?”

He explained that United Nations officials visited the Nigerians in the Libyan prison and were touched at their plight, promising to arrange their repatriation back to Nigeria.

They were finally able to travel under the voluntary returnee programme organised by the International Organisation for Migration (IOM).

Arriving in Lagos with only the clothes they came with, the deportees were provided with a meagre N6,500, leading to resentful outbursts from many at the airport.

“Frustrated, angry and despondent, a group of them decided to seek refuge at The SCOAN, having watched Emmanuel TV in Libya,” the church wrote on their Facebook page.

“Upon learning of their arrival in the church, Prophet T.B. Joshua immediately sent evangelists to provide food, alongside medical aid to some of the most malnourished in their midst,” it continued.

After giving the young men N3.9million ($20,000), many were emotionally moved and shed tears.

“If not for a man like T.B. Joshua, most of us would have ended up going into armed robbery, kidnapping or even joining a group like Boko Haram,” said Godspower Chibuike as he appreciated the gift.

“If youths were encouraged like this, we wouldn’t even think of travelling to places like Libya,” another deportee stated, adding that he had never seen such an amount of money in his life.

The group were subsequently provided with toiletries alongside brand new clothing, as they had worn the same set of clothes since their arrival in Nigeria.

“Remember, what you make happen for others, God will make happen for you,” T.B. Joshua stated in the conclusion of the Facebook post.

“I wanted to sell my two children for N30k each to raise business money'



At the recently concluded Chris Okafor World Outreach Ministries crusade in Calabar, Dr. Chris Okafor called out a rather bizarre case during his prophecy session, saying that there was a woman at the crusade ground who had been offered N30,000 each for two of her lovely children, and that the woman was making plans to actually sell her children to raise money for business.

Before he was done dishing out the woman’s details prophetically as he is fond of doing, the woman ran out from the crowd and affirmed everything that the man of God had said.

Seeing her case was beyond prayers, the man of God after praying for her, asked how much she needed for business and she retorted “N30,000”. The man of God then smiled and asked if it was okay to give her a hundred thousand naira(N100,000)… she was literally dumfounded. And indeed, right there and then, she got her own rather “financial deliverance” of N100,000!


Both pundits and skeptics have greatly praised the man of God for his life-saving overture, adding that if all men of God put their money to use in this fashion, we would all be living in a better world.  The man of God who has a tradition of financially and materially empowering very indigent widows and artisans every month through his Chris Okafor Humanity Foundation has responded by saying that “for me, giving is living. You know sometimes, people criticize me for raising too much offering, saying that I love money a lot. And I don’t blame people who say that, because they don’t know any better. I am often driven by my incredible passion to help the down and out in our society and aggressively advance the work of God. That’s why I don’t force people to give. It is not mandatory. You do it only if you feel like it. I believe that there is a lot of blessing attached to giving when you give into a ministry that puts that money to good use. And we do. I personally don’t need any of that money. Time without number I have told my congregation that I had never dipped a finger into our church money for whatever reason, and never will. And anybody who cares should carry an independent investigation into this matter. I am too blessed already. All that money is for God’s work, and a huge part of that work is helping our less privileged brothers and sisters in the best way that we can.  At our church, we have so many people on scholarships, from Primary to Tertiary institutions, we have resettlement programs for the homeless, we have feeding programs for the hungry, we have monthly empowerment programs where people are taught skills and financially empowered to live out their dreams, etc. That is the whole essence of my life and ministry…not just about Prophecy and Miracles”

The Calabar and Bonny Island crusades which drew literally tens of thousands of worshipers from far and near, did not end without miraculous healings of all sorts and accurate prophecies that left the crowd stricken with celestial awe.

The man of God appears all set to storm several more cities in Nigeria and Europe with his Fiery Miracle Crusades. See below for his itinerary:

RUMFA Special Primary School, Sabon Gari, Kano: March 17and 18.

Pastor Dupes Business man who's Looking for Spiritual help



A based businessman, Ogochukwu Raphael, based in Sokoto State, is now stranded after he came to Lagos to visit a church to seek spiritual solution over his dwindling fortunes in business.

According to him, apart from the fact he was defrauded of N750,000 for fake visa, the pastor allegedly collected another N800,000 for prayers for business success before he would travel out of the country with the Visa.

Consequently, Pastor Chike Ifeanyi of Christian City International Church has been arrested and charged before Isolo Magistrates’ court for his alleged involvement in the fraud.

45yrs old Pastor Ifeanyi allegedly collected N750,000 from Oguchukwu Raphael under false pretence that he was procuring an Australian resident Visa for him.

The incident happened in Itire area of Lagos where the pastor resides. But the prayer was conducted at a church at Oke Afa where Raphael was made to part with the "deliverance fee".

Ifeanyi, who hails from Anambra State and resides at Balogun Estate, Ajah, was finally arrested at Idimu after several months of hide-and-seek over the matter.

After the victim paid the money, it turned out that it was a scam as Ifeanyi did not procure any visa nor return the money to Raphael.

Rather, he told him that the embassy requested additional 10,000 dollars as deposit and sent him away from the church.

The matter was reported to the police who trailed Pastor Ifeanyi until he was arrested. He was charged with obtaining and stealing under the Criminal Code.

When the charge was read to him, as usual he pleaded not guilty.

The presiding Magistrate, Mrs Joy Ugbomoiko granted him bail in the sum of N200,000 with two sureties in like sum. He was remanded in prison custody pending when he will perfect his bail condition.

The case has been adjourned till 2 March, 2016, for trial.

WIFE OF THE ISLAMIC LEADER IBRAHIM ZAKZAKY IS STILL ALIVE









The army carried out crackdowns on Saturday and early Sunday against the Islamic Movement of Nigeria, IMN, and arrested its leader Ibrahim Zakzaky, following a bloody confrontation.

“We have reports that bodies of our members killed outside the house of our leader are being evacuated in trucks by soldiers,” IMN spokesman Ibrahim Musa told AFP.
Musa also said Zakzaky had been arrested. “Sheikh Ibrahim Zakzaky was arrested this morning (yesterday) in his demolished home by soldiers where he had been holed up in a room that was spared from the fire that gutted the house from grenades.”

IMN, which seeks to establish an Islamic state in an Iranian-styled revolution, has been at loggerheads with Nigeria’s secular authorities, leading to occasionally violent confrontations.

Sheikh Zakzaky has periodically been incarcerated for incitement and subversion. The north is predominantly Muslim and largely Sunni. Musa said the victims of the fighting included his wife, son and the former IMN spokesman.

“We can’t give a precise figure of the deaths but it is huge given the number of the members that answered the call to protect the house from the invading soldiers,” he said.

He said the group’s leader had been unable to leave the house “because of the gunshot wounds he sustained in the indiscriminate fire soldiers opened on the house and his followers who tried to protect it.”

“We gathered he was taken to Kaduna (70 kilometers away). We got in touch with the medical doctor that is treating him who confirmed to us that our leader is critically ill from four gunshot wounds he sustained. “He was shot at four times, this the doctor confirmed,” Musa told AFP.

On their part, the military said the Shiites attacked the convoy of the Chief of Army Staff, which left soldiers no option but to retaliate. The military authorities say El zakzaky is in protective custody.

Addressing a conference in Kaduna, GOC 1 Div Nigerian Army, Kaduna, Maj.-Gen. Adeniyi Oyebade, said the sect leader and the wife are in their custody.

The GOC, who was flanked by Kaduna State Commissioner of Police, Usman Shehu, also stated that, at the appropriate time Sheik El zakzaky will speak to his followers.
