Charismatic Roman Catholic priest, Rev. Fr. Ejike Mbaka of the Adoration Ministry, Enugu, has finally spoken about the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) Nnamdi Kanu and the agitation for secession.
In a three-minute video posted online, Mbaka insisted that Igbos were not hated.
The influential cleric also stated that Kanu and the other Biafra fighters, should not be the ones in the forefront of the battle.
Mbaka said: “Nobody should deceive you saying that ‘Igbos are hated’. That’s how we (Igbos) believe nonsense. The poor masses are told to agitate for Biafra.
“There is nothing wrong in Biafra. But those that say they want Biafra now (or never) should come out let us see the crème of the Igbos then we all will push for Biafra.
“Let the crème de la crème among the Igbos be at the forefront while the poor masses that loiter the streets in the name of Biafra will support from behind.
“The right thing is for parents to protect their children from danger. I a
m not against Biafra but let the Igbo political elites; the Ubas of Anambra, Peter Obi, Ekwueme, Ekweremadu, Nnamanis, Sullivan Chime, Anyim Pius Anyim, I (Mbaka) etc should be the ones pushing for Biafra not our children who get killed on the streets every day.
“Where are the Igbo political elites? They are in hiding in Abuja and overseas.
“They have sent these children to push for Biafra and they have gone in hiding. That is not leadership. A leader should be in front to take bullets for his followers just as Christ willingly gave his life for his followers. A leader is not one who will sit and sacrifice the poor for his ambition.”
what is really wrong with this priest. what are you still waiting for b4 you start the lead or you still have patience maybe till eternity. all this names you called now, I believe they are here in 9ja and didn’t travel so why all this talks instead of your prayers or sermon. you and the people you called are so relaxed and enjoying your posts 4getin what to do. then the suffering poor masses are here now to agitate on their poor situation and you are here talking like you are confused. please mind your alter to avoid insult and people will say insult on ‘a man of God’
