Former Pres. Jonathan should be blamed for the current hardship and economic distress in the country- Fr. Mbaka

Controversial Enugu-based Catholic Priest, Rev. Fr.
Ejike Mbaka says the inability of former President
Jonathan's administration to save when there was oil
boom is what is responsible for the present recession of
the Nigerian economy. According to him, Jonathan ran a
wasteful government.
Mbaka in a statement released by his spokesperson,
Maximus Ugwuoke, accused the past government of
failing to heed to his prophecies that indicated Nigeria
was going to experience economic hardship.
"When these prophesies come, it must not be
what people think or want; people are entitled to
their views; those reactions mean nothing; the
important thing is that there is nothing he had
prophesized which never came to pass; the
ministry does not care how people feel about his
prophesies. Some call him controversial priest;
some call him fiery priest and all that, they are
entitled to their opinion. The fact remains that
he is a true prophet. I will tell you something,
it is for us humans to judge prophesies; he was
the only person who said Buhari would win. If
it were in the olden days, all those so-called
men of God who castigated him would have
received the wrath of God immediately. All of
them should be ashamed of themselves now.
When you look at that prophesy on Jonathan,
he gave it and it came to pass. Don’t forget
that two months before that prophesy,
Jonathan’s wife came to the adoration ground;
that is to tell you that the prophesy came from
God; if after such visit, he had the courage to
reveal such prophesy against them, that tells you
that it is much more than what people think.
Whether the prophesy is a good one or not,
talking about the suffering, it has nothing to do
with the prophesy. Before Buhari took over,
the dollar was rising, there was already problem
with our economy. They had oil boom but never
saved; they just wasted the opportunity. Even
the suffering we are talking about was part of
his prophesies. I recall that on 31st of January
this year, he said clearly that Nigerians should
brace up for hard times, he said a lot of
hardship was under way; what these suffering
Nigerians are passing through are a process of
change. I’m seeing a great future for Nigerians;
he made it clear that there are so many holes
which needed to be filled".
He also denied claims that he fell out with Jonathan
because the former President refused to give him an oil
well.
"These are lies from the pit of hell; these were
used to water down the prophesy because people
did not understand. It was even alleged that he
received N5 million from Buhari; you begin to
wondwer what is N5 million to Mbaka. Is it
the school fees he is paying for hundreds of
people? This is all propaganda. There was also
these claims of meeting with APC chieftains
before the election; he never held any such
meeting; he never met Buhari before the
election, there has never been any communication
between them; what he has already is bigger
than oil well; he is a musician and the ministry
is being sustained with that”.
