Rev Mbaka says he'll Surfer as he's being transferred to a new parish

 On his way to his new
presiding parish, Our lady Parish, Emene, in Enugu, over 30
lorries accompanied by thousands of his faithful followers
escorted him in a motorcade to a new church where he will
be an assistant parish priest.
The transfer of reverend fathers is not an issue in the
catholic church as it is a routine exercise that is done every
once in a while but Fr. Mbaka’s transfer became an issue
because the people saw it as a measure for his recent
prophecies especially that of December 31st 2014, when he
predicted that former President Goodluck Jonathan would
be defeated in the 2015 elections. This has however been
dismissed by the church.
His transfer as a parish priest to a resident priest, in which
he will serve under another priest, has also caused a stir
among people because he has been with the catholic
church for years so it is only normal to make him the parish
priest and not an assistant.
While handing over formally to his successor yesterday,
Mbaka said:
“I know we are going to suffer; between now and
few months to come, I am going to suffer; I am
going to suffer because I have no place to lay my
head; I am going to suffer because I have no place
to keep the Ministry’s assets; I know I am going to
suffer; fortunate going to suffer because I have no
ly it’s going to happen in the month of Lent; so I am
going to use my exit here to observe the Lent. But
Jesus said it to His apostles in John 16:20, ‘You will
be sorrowful and the world will be rejoicing but very
soon I will turn your sorrows to joy.’ So I am waiting
for that moment because for now I know we are
going to suffer. The Adoration Ministry is passing
through suffering right now; even though I have
accepted it as the will of God; it is the will of God
through suffering; it is a mega suffering. But
however, the grace of God will carry us all; even
though some of you may pray that God should
remove this thorn from us, the scripture says ‘His
grace is sufficient for us; for its even in your
weakness that the power of God is demonstrated.
So we are moving but don’t forget the scriptures,
‘my brothers they make me keeper of vineyards, my
own vineyard I keepeth not. All these while we have
been keeping vineyards, building for Christ The King
Parish…Bishop Gbuji asked them, how much …but
because I don’t want to disclose my charity, they
can’t keep that account. How many trailer loads of
cement came here? All the monies I made from my
cassette and other private crusades all of them were
used to build this church. We cannot quantify it but
let God be glorified.”
“It is the will of God, and when the will of God either
permissive or however, happens, nobody should
question it. All you have today is Amen; so to the will
of God Fr. Mbaka has said Amen".
He said he's accepting the decision of the church leadership
with absolute obedience, adding that nobody should see
him as an obstinate priest. He also assured them that the
parish would not collapse due to his exit, and urged the
members to treat his successor, Rev. Fr. Theodore
Ozoamalu, well, and to assist him in any way he needs help
and not allow him to cry.
“Don’t starve him; don’t allow him to suffer; in my
own time I didn’t need your help because God
blessed me in my own unique way and I am happy.
God will keep the parish because we have fought the
good fight; I am not regretting anything and the
highest gift God has given here is his Holy Spirit
who assisted me up till now" he said.

One day, I'll write about this place

Unilag Cresol; a derivative of a congenial isomer. One day, I'll write about this place - Kunle Adegunoye. Even after leaving you , I dare not compare you to any other. From the front gate through the Senate building to the back gate, your serenity describes a genuine tranquility. I was a bit baffled when Akokites regard you as the school of first choice and nation's pride. I thought it was normal for them to bask in the ephemeral euphoria of having their education in Nigeria's first University established by the Act of Parliament. Time and again, you have made bold the claim of superiority to others. In my four years here from 2011 to 2015, you twice led the table of Nigerian universities according to NUC. Not only were you "first choice", you taught others how to be first in everything. Our first pride in you was the unilag radio, 103.1 established in 2004. When others saw and started making efforts to achieve the set feat, you moved a step ahead to havi...

ADEBOYE AND OYEDEPO: MEN OF GOD OR MEN OF GOB? by Sylvanus Omoniyi

I want to say something. It is important. But before then, I want to thank all my enemies all over the world who have been supporting me. May God support you with evil things. Also, I want to appreciate all the witches and wizards in the world who dearly love me. Thank you very much. If witches and wizards could like me, who are you not to like me? I have given up on humanity because everyone is stupid. I have decided to be true to my heart because people are not reasonable again, especially in Nigeria. I am yet to find a single reasonable being in Africa. Everyone in Africa is an asshole. We are dumb asses. See, it is not that I derive any pleasure from insulting people. Not at all. The only thing is that I get pissed off when people are being unreasonable.  I have been performing a lot of experiments. On social media. And in reality. You cannot even understand the way I think. Everyday, I strive to be less afraid and to have more freedom. I try to look at things and people and...

Taiwo Adewole, a man from the past future

Image
After returning from an invigorating dance arena at the Education love garden, a curious Kunle asked Taiwo, his ne'er calm friend why he was in the habit of liking his own Facebook posts. Taiwo laughed uproariously and the walruses in the jungle shivers with delight. He pondered the question, laughed again, snorted snuff into his three nostrils, emptied a human skull of last week palmwine and orijin into his snout and said,  "my boy, do you know why, when the lizard survives a fall, it nods its head in self-congratulation? Kunle kept quiet. SMH! Taiwo continued after downing two bowls of nkwobi, three plate of indomie and a human skull of Lager beer and quickly checking his class whatsapp  page to see if anyone wants to pay for docket or class due, "because if the lizard doesn't, no one else will". "If I don't like my post, no one else will", he concluded. Then he took a selfie with Kunle's phone(he had been told about the kamikaze effect ...
