Hardship: Mbaka warns of danger, advocates return of fuel subsidy
By our reporter
The Spiritual Director of Adoration Ministry, Enugu, Nigeria, AMEN, Rev. Fr. Ejike Mbaka has warmed the federal government of Nigeria against the looming danger that may erupt as a result of hardship and suffering meted on Nigerians due to the removal of fuel subsidy.
The fiery Priest, urged the Federal government to return the fuel subsidy since the removal has caused hardship to the people, adding that nobody can stop the looming protest when it starts.
Mbaka who made this call on Sunday during a homely tittled, “Miracle of open doors” warned that the subsidy removal should not mean enriching the governors with billions every month and suffering the poor masses.
He warned those hijacking the economy of Nigeria and causing suffering on the people to beware of the anger of God, saying, “Hammer of God is coming to unlock the key of evil one, no padlock is difficult for hammer of God to shatter it”.
He urged President Bola Ahmed to hire experts to help the federal government provide solution to the economic quagmire to ameloriate the suffering and hardship in the country.
He warned that all hands must be on desk to avert the looming danger that would befall on all the leaders irrespective of political party or political position saying, “once the power of God that’s prophetic begins to roll away from the sanctuary the government will begin to suffer”.
“Look at what is happening in the country with a buoyant riches of liquid and solid minerals with best ecological weather in the whole world. The demographic structure of the country is wonderful, the quality of children is excellence.
“A country blessed with children of orbit and excellence. Interns of education Nigerian children are among the best out oil is the best in the world. Our trees are wonderful, our land is fertile for any type of crops but look at us importing garri, rice, pencil, matches, soap, toothpaste, importing our own crude oil.
“If you go to filing station the tank you used to fill with N10k, you can’t fill it with N50k again and how much will be the salaries of our civil servants by the time they go to school and come back for two weeks has their salary not finished. This problem started from the past government but I believe the present government can do something.
“We can not continue like this. Shall we continue like this?, never we can not. I am not blaming anybody but I am thinking that If they can not provide solution, you look for those who can provide solution. I am not blaming the present government but I am noticing that there are many square pegs in round holes, people who do not know how to solve problems. Somebody who doesn’t know how to solve maths, you ask him to be a mathematics teacher, you can’t give what you don’t have.
“Nigeria is ganged up. Nigeria is locked up, Nigeria is in a siege, Nigeria is caged, Nigeria is passing through a casket experience. We need to be unlocked. Our youths are running away and when you run to another country without quality paper, you are there worst than what it ought to be here. Many are languishing having gone out but despite what they are suffering there it is better for them than when they are here.
“Why can’t there be steady power supply, why can’t the interest for producers and industrialist from the banks be lowered, how can somebody be effectively take a loan from the bank and be paying 40℅, how? It’s an indirect way of increasing criminality. Its a subtle way of perpetrating anachronisms of kidnapping and insecurity. It’s a matter of who can say it.
“I am not talking about protest but I mean that the present government should sit up or sit down and plan on what to do to ameliorate the suffering of the poor masses, Mortuaries are being filled with people who died out of hopelessness. It’s even effecting the spirituality and morality of our people. People can not eat. Imaging a parent with 6 children, his many cups of garri will they eat in a day?
“Some can’t even go to the hospital, if you go to the hospital and drugs are prescribed, how will you eat because it’s after meal that you take drugs. Can you even pay for the hospital bill? Every week the problem is multiplying, our case is becoming amoebic like amoebae, shapeless.
“Look at the wonderful communiqué the Bishops wrote, we have read them in the church, how will that be promulgated? I know that all in the Aso Rock, Major two groups, Christians and Muslims who are handling Bible and Quran. Either you’re reading the Bible or you’re reading the Quran, can’t you because of Jesus or Muhammad make this country a home worthy of existence.
“Why have you forgotten your spiritual origin? Shall we continue like this until when, is it not time we uncage this country? And Jesus looked up to heaven and say efe-tal open, can’t we open the doors of industrialization and technology. Look at what is happening in Bukinafaso, small country like one state in Nigeria has gone up to the space to mount technological facilities to take care of the whole county. If you take any pin anywhere in Bukinafaso that technological facilities will locate you.
“The international Monetary Fund, IMF have been asking them to come and borrow money and the said no that they don’t need it. Nigeria is perpetually borrowing and borrowing. Some of you may be blaming the present government not knowing that they have been caged. The money the last government burrowed. I don’t think the present government can finish paying it. Remember when they give you the money, you use what you have as collateral.
“I don’t know how many years oil they will carry before we begin to enjoy our own. What we are passing noe is hunger. Famine time is coming, I told you this many years ago. Don’t sit down in your house, open your door and enter the bush to farm, go out and do something, don’t wait for government to do things for you otherwise you’re looking for magic but I am praying for miracle.
Miracle and magic are not the same. Miracle is supernaturally organic. Magic is the fake. It could be a product of deception. Look at what the Bible says in book of Isaiah 35, “We shall tell those who are saddened to fear not” despite what is happening in the country, I tell you fear not but woe be tied to those who are perpetuating this over suffering and a cronyism thinking that nothing will happen. And say do you know who I am, I am the minister, Senator, Honourable representing this and that, I am the governor, President.
“I don’t care who you are. Who you are is six feet. In summary, one day all these wealth you have acquired will be somewhere and you can’t lay your hands on any of them. Vanity upon vanity, rubbish.
“The leaders have the key to open the doors of this suffering and people will begging to enjoy the wealth of the land. It’s now shameful thing to tell anybody that you’re from Nigeria because our youths are doing anything possible to survive. Man must survive. It’s an instinct, survival in a massculus psychology, one of the basic fact is how will I survive. And a time when immortality will become a culture and tradition. That’s what is happening and it will soon effect the church with the social media trend.
“The church leaders should prepare to give their faithful what to eat. The time for that is fast approaching because some of our church leaders are romancing unhealthy with the so called politicians that you can’t look at their face and tell them that what they’re doing is wrong.
“That the cost of oil in Nigeria is becoming something else we can’t imagine and somebody is telling us is because subsidy is removed and that is why. If the removal of subsidy will bring hardship to us, let them put it back. If subsidy means that governors should be enriching themselves in billions every months and the poor masses are suffering and dying, let them put back the subsidy because the danger of it is coming.
“I have been silent on it and once the power of God that prophetic begins to roll away from the sanctuary the government will begin to suffer. We can not continue like this. The doors must open. Look at, the doors to foreign country opens and the doors to enter Nigeria closed. How many Americans are coming to invest here, how many new company are rising in Nigeria, even local investors are closing down.
“What you buy today, go back and price it tomorrow. Economic instability as a result if demonic inflation. Church has never had it thus way in thus country. The cars that have been climbing the hills has failed break and everybody should begin to call on his own God
I believe there are gurus in this country that can come together and bring solution irrespective of party they are in because when what will happen, happens, nobody will tell anybody to protest or not to protest.
‘It will be a problem beyond party or whatever. Some of us who are not political, even doe being constantly misunderstood, if I am saying the truth, they will misunderstand Mbaka. This is what I have been cring over the Years that a time is coming and that time has come now. Mbaka close your mouth! Mbaka close your mouth!! it’s now happening.
“The question I am asking is how will our parents feed their children morning, afternoon and night, with what from what? We are not talking about school fees, house rent not even the fuel whatever because we can trek to wherever we used to enter motor to. It’s a matter of leaving very early in the morning.
“We are going back to our roots, those who used to eat only indomie is now looking for wewe to help them eat. Back to the root. Are you going to the village, do you have any house in the village? Is the farm safe? The cancer in Nigeria has become maligners and metastasize. We need miracle of God to open the door of healings,” he said.
Son of the late head of state and former Minister of Defence, Chief Thomas Aguiyi-Ironsi, in a letter of remembrance and solidarity written on behalf of the Aguiyi-Ironsi family to the Fajuyi family, marking the 60th anniversary of his death, said July 29, 2026, will be a solemn occasion to honour a soldier they described as “a war hero who offered himself as a sacrificial lamb for the unity and integrity of the nation.”
The family recalled that Lt Col Fajuyi, then Military Governor of the Western Region, made the ultimate sacrifice in 1966 when mutinous soldiers abducted him alongside Maj Gen Aguiyi-Ironsi in Ibadan during the military counter-coup.
They stated that Fajuyi, in a defining moment of conscience, chose honour over personal safety and refused to abandon his guest and superior, a decision the family said reflected the highest ideals of loyalty, integrity, and military brotherhood.
According to the statement, his action transformed him into a national martyr whose legacy continued to inspire unity, courage, and selfless service.
The Aguiyi-Ironsi family also expressed sympathy with the Fajuyi family, acknowledging the enduring pain of their loss, while praying for continued strength, comfort, and peace.
The statement further stated, “He did not run. He did not hide. He chose to stand. In that sacrificial decision lay the essence of his greatness.”
The family called on government institutions, military authorities, and custodians of national memory to ensure sustained recognition and support for the Fajuyi family, stressing that his sacrifice remained a national responsibility to remember and honour.
It urged Nigerians to draw inspiration from his life and death, noting that his legacy continues to challenge the nation to uphold unity, courage, honour, and selfless service.
Fajuyi was killed on July 29, 1966, during the military counter-coup in Ibadan alongside Aguiyi-Ironsi.

The emergence of Chief Ikeagwuonu Ugochinyere as the Minority Leader of the Federal House of Representatives has been described as a vindication of the fact that the Action People’s Party (APP ) represents the collective interests of the Nigerian masses.
Recall that recently, Ugochinyere was elected as the Minority Leader of the party in a keenly contested election of the Federal House of Representatives.
According to a statement by the Chairman Anambra state chapter of the APP Chief Chijioke Okeke, Ugochinyere had been consistent in offering himself as the voice of the people and that of the voiceless.
“It did not come to us as a surprise that our great leader High Chief Ugochinyere became the Minority leader of the Federal House of Representatives because he has always been consistent and focus towards providing himself as the only vent for the masses at the Green Chambers”
“We know his pedegre as a politician as well as a leader and he has remained focus in ensuring that the voiceless are heard and this is also a vindication of our party’s unflinching desire to provide a veritable platform in a democratic process”
Okeke further stated that the fifth columnists who had attempted to deregister the party have been put to shame adding that the party shall continue to champion the interests of the Nigerian people.
“They made failed attempt at deregistering our great party but they lost sight of the fact that the APP is firmely rooted on ground and has all that it takes to drive the wishes and aspirations of the Nigerian populace and with this recent development our traducers have been put to shame and our party is on the path of further greatness “. Okeke noted .

The six persons led by Mr Chukwuebuka Ohaechesi, include Emma Okonkwo, Jude Uwa, Gentle Okoro, Uchenna Dike, and Emmanuel Nwankwo who are said to be at large.
The were said to have fled to neighboring states in the South East hence signaling the other four Police Commands in the geopolitical zone to assist in the manhunt for them
The Police accused them of executing protests against the detaintion of the leader of IPOB Mazi Nnamdi Kanu who is currently serving jail terms in Sokoto Correction Center.
According to a statement issued by the Abia Police Public Relations Officer of the Command, ASP Eguavon Omokaro, the individuals are suspected members of IPOB who have allegedly participated in protests at various times and locations within the state.
The statement alleged that the protests were organised in connection with the continued detention of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and demands for justice through the judicial process.
The Police Command further stated that these protests have allegedly resulted in breaches of peace and disruptions to law and order in Abia State. Consequently, the Police Intelligence Department reportedly concluded that the named individuals were among the principal organisers and coordinators of the demonstrations.
The statement further alleged that; ;
“It should be noted that on every 30th day of May, these men and their cohorts convene for the so-called remembrance of Biafra, holding clandestine meetings at various locations in the name of the emancipation of the Biafran Republic and the release of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.”
According to the police, the six individuals were invited on several occasions for questioning in relation to the allegations against them.
The statement indicated that the first invitation was issued on 18 December 2025, followed by a second invitation on 7 February 2026, and a third invitation on 3 March 2026.
The police alleged that the individuals failed to honour all three invitations.
The statement further asserted:
“These individuals were invited by the police on several occasions. Firstly, on 18 December 2025, they failed to honour the invitation. Again, they were invited on 7th February 2026 and failed to appear. Finally, they were invited on 3 March 2026, and they also failed to present themselves before the police.” It stated.
As a result, the Abia State Police Command announced that all six individuals had been formally declared wanted.
The police appealed to members of the public to provide any reliable information that could lead to their arrest and prosecution, stating that informants would be suitably rewarded.
The declaration of the six individuals as wanted persons is linked to allegations of their participation in pro-Biafra activities, demonstrations concerning the detention of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, and their alleged association with IPOB, an organisation that has been the subject of extensive scrutiny and security operations by Nigerian authorities.
In a statement shared on social media, VeryDarkMan argued that Wike may not fully understand the pain and trauma experienced by parents of abducted children and affected teachers. He claimed that the minister’s children were educated abroad, away from the security challenges facing many Nigerian families.Nigerian entertainment news
The activist stated that insecurity, kidnapping, and attacks on schools remain serious national concerns and should not be dismissed or reduced to political issues. He stressed that the fears and frustrations of parents whose children face security threats deserve greater attention from public officials.
VeryDarkMan further warned that political power is temporary, urging leaders to remain accountable to the people and sensitive to the challenges confronting ordinary Nigerians.
