Ejike Mbaka from Enugu is well known for his unique
style of preaching and questionable behavior. But what else do we know
about him?
1. He is not only a preacher
Ejike Mbaka is a very charismatic person. Additionally to his career as a preacher, he is a well-known gospel singer. His recorded messages on CDs, DVDs and audio tapes were fast-selling in the market. He also has his own sachet water brand called “Aquarapha”.
2. He escaped death for several times
In the year 2006, according to the information of AllAfrica, Reverend Father Ejike Mbaka has accused the Enugu State Governor Chimaroke Nnamani of sponsoring an armed attack on him in the city. 6 gunmen attacked Mbaka in the early hours of May 9 on Park Avenue as he was driving home from the residence of the Bishop of Enugu Catholic Diocese, Rt. Rev. Anthony Gbuji, accompanied by 3 orphans. All of the people in a car managed to escape death.
3. He is a really controversial person
His point of view and political preferences have changed rapidly. Less than two months ago he was supporting President Goodluck Jonathan. But in his New Year speech he admitted that he liked Buhari more:
“Jonathan has ruled for six years. We need change. NEPA is not working because of corruption. The privatization of public companies has not yielded any fruit because of corruption. Nigerians are sick and tired of wasting innocent lives without government doing enough to stop the destruction,” the cleric said.
4. Some of his crowd pulling crusades were too dangerous
In March 2002 gunmen stormed a weekly prayer meeting in the southern city of Enugu, triggering a stampede by hundreds of worshipers that left at least 12 people dead. The gunmen, who left without wounding anyone, were apparently trying to capture or harm the “fiery Roman Catholic priest Ejike Mbaka”, as has been mentioned by Vanguard. Mbaka has been repeatedly harassed and sought by Enugu state government officials.
5. He said that Boko Haram appeared because of Goodluck Jonathan
“What is kidnapping? Kidnapping is the grandson of unemployment. Boko Haram is the grandson of unemployment, mass looting and corruption. As it stands now, Jonathan should resign. The Good luck of Jonathan has become Bad luck to Nigeria,” he mentioned in his anti-Jonathan New Year
