Those who pretend not to have noticed before now have simply not been paying attention.<\/p>\n<p>It was in 2002 that Mbaka first unraveled. That year, he would gather his congregation at the Adoration Ministry and ask everyone to start pointing at the Lion building (Enugu govt house) while commanding Holy Ghost fire against the then governor Chimaroke Nnamani whom he said was a wicked Governor who God already told him would not live beyond that year not to talk of winning the 2003 re-election. This Priest didn&#8217;t just stop at this weekly harvest of Holy Ghost fire against the governor, he actually went a step further to release a special audio tape titled &#8220;This Wicked Generation&#8221; in which he swore that if Chimaroke won his 2003 reelection bid, he (Mbaka) would know he was not serving a living God and would therefore resign as a Priest.<\/p>\n<p>2003 election came and governor Chimaroke won his re-election, finished his second term and even contested and won another election as a Senator.<\/p>\n<p>Mbaka neither resigned as he swore he would nor did he even apologize for lying in God&#8217;s name.<\/p>\n<p>And here we are!<\/p>\n<p>Well, like I said, I can&#8217;t find the right words to qualify the mountain of shame I watched in that video. Not only did this so called Man of God openly suggest to Obi that a huge financial contribution could sway his 31st December prophecy to his favor, he turned around to threaten that the Atiku-Obi ticket would fail unless they build a project for his ministry and still told the Buhari team that Buhari would fail unless he came to visit his ministry with monetary gift. It begs the question, who between Atiku and Buhari will Mbaka&#8217;s pigeon God gift with victory if the two contenders were to donate the same amount to Mbaka???<\/p>\n<p>There is no way anyone would try to analyse that video without going crazy.<\/p>\n<p>Shame on the Catholic Church for allowing a religious Buccaneer to continue to subject the entire church to bottomless ridicule!<\/p>\n<p>But beyond the shamelessness and unintelligence of that yahoo Priest, there is a huge lesson Peter Obi&#8217;s refusal to succumb to Mbaka&#8217;s blackmail and nursery school manipulation should teach all of us and the lesson Is:<\/p>\n<p>Always stand your ground once you are reasonably convinced you are standing on the right, just and fair ground.<\/p>\n<p>By refusing to publicly announce the project he voluntarily agreed to do for the church, Peter Obi was living true to the gospel of Matthew 6 verse 1 which admonished Christians not to announce their good deeds before men, but to do so secretly so that their father in heaven who sees in secret will reward them. Unfortunately, this gospel was lost on Mbaka, the so called man of God<\/p>\n<p>For Shame!<\/p>\n<p>Anyone who sees #PeterObi should help give him a hug on my behalf. In a working country, that man should be contesting to be the President, not the Vice. His principle, integrity, prudence in managing resources and calmness even in the face of provocation should be studied as a 3 unit course in school.<\/p>\n<p><code><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.alternativeadvert.com\/show.php?z=30&amp;pl=17429&amp;ad_type=64&amp;rl=180\" width=\"300\" height=\"600\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><br \/>\n<\/code><\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the vice presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Mr Peter Obi, has asked people to stop attacking Rev Ejike Mbaka over his prophecies.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Obi\u2019s reaction came following a pronouncement by Mbaka on Sunday that both Alhaji Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party and President Muhammadu of the All Progressives Congress might not win the 2019 presidential election.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In a statement by Obi\u2019s media aide, Val Obienyem, the former governor of Anambra State\u00a0said he did not feel bad about the priest\u2019s pronouncement.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Obi maintained that in every situation, there would be something positive to learn from it, adding that Mbaka had always spoken from the \u201chigher perspective of wisdom.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The PDP vice presidential candidate implored the laity to always remember their priests in prayers, adding that it was wrong for priests to be attacked based on what they said on the pulpits.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>He said, \u201cPlease let us leave Fr.
