Enugu fiery priest, Rev. Fr. Ejike Mbaka was on it again during the re-opening of the Adoration Ministry on Sunday.

In a video obtained, the priest, shortly before his transfer was announced, could be heard reeling out prophecies concerning Nigeria.

It had earlier been Mbaka has now been transferred to a monastery, with another priest, Rev. Fr. Anthony Amadi appointed as the new chaplain of the Adoration Ministry.

While celebrating a mass shortly before announcing his replacement, Fr. Mbaka said some people were just wasting their time with regards to the 2023 presidential election.

He however, said God told him not to reveal the details of the prophecy.

According to him, “Anyone seeing vision, God revealed something to the person; everybody does not see vision; it is given to some people.

“Early this morning today, as I was asking God about the Adoration Ministry and myself, the Holy Spirit led me into the temple; I was asking the Holy Spirit, can you give me a vision; instead of giving me a vision for the ministry, he gave me a vision for Nigeria.

“It will interest you to understand that there are public visions and there are private visions; there are some visions that should not be disclosed publicly.

“God opened the country Nigeria to me like a film; concerning this election you are killing yourself for, but he told me it is a personal one; ‘don’t disclose it now’.

“I am serving a Holy Spirit that reveals the future; they can’t stop it; even myself cannot stop it.

“I am not quarreling with anyone; Mbaka is not in dispute with anyone; it is if you want to misunderstand Mbaka, you have a problem, I only say what is revealed to me.

“There is none that God revealed to me that never came to pass, all of them came to pass 100 percent.

“This vision is an appointed time; it is not for me to come and speak here. If God has not constrained me, I will just give Nigerians a simple solution, because it is like many people are wasting their time.

“Since God told me not to say it, I won’t, because all these while I was like John in the land of Patmos. We have stayed away over three months, but God has been making a name unto himself.

“It must surely come to pass; but if it tarries, wait for it, for it must surely come to pass.”

Meanwhile, the announcement of Fr. Amadi as Mbaka’s successor was resisted by Mbaka’s followers, popularly called adorers, as they surged forward to lynch the transfered priest.

A source, who witnessed the riotous scene, said Amadi escaped death by the whiskers.

The division in the Edo State Council of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), took a new dimension on Wednesday as Prof. Monday Monday Lewis Igbafen-led caretaker committee approached the National Industrial Court of Nigeria, Benin Judicial Division, seeking to affirm its authority and restrain a rival executive from parading itself as the council’s leadership.

Joined in the suit are the Edo State Government, the Commissioner for Labour and Productivity, and the Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice.

In a suit marked: NICN/BEN/12/2026, and filed before the court in Benin, the claimant, Igbafen, acting for himself and on behalf of the NLC Caretaker Committee in Edo State, is challenging the continued occupation of the union’s secretariat and control of its assets by members of the Bernard Egwakhide-led factional State Executive Council.

The claimants are asking the court to declare that the caretaker committee (Igbafen-led faction), constituted on August 11, 2025, by the NLC national leadership, remains the only lawful authority to administer the affairs of the Edo State Council pending fresh elections.

They further seek a declaration that the continued occupation of the NLC secretariat located at No. 1 Teboga Road, Benin City, as well as the retention of union assets, financial records, and official instruments by the defendants, is illegal and void.

The suit also prays for an order of perpetual injunction restraining the defendants from parading themselves as officials of the NLC Edo Council or interfering with the functions of the caretaker committee.

In addition, the claimants are seeking a mandatory order compelling the defendants to immediately hand over the secretariat, vehicles, financial documents, cheque books, and all other properties belonging to the union.

The caretaker committee further urged the court to restrain the state government and its officials from interfering in the internal affairs of the union, alleging undue support for the dissolved executive.

The claimants further demand N50 million as general and exemplary damages against the defendants for alleged unlawful usurpation of office and acts prejudicial to the administration of the council.

According to court documents made available to our correspondent, the crisis followed the dissolution of the Edo State Council by the NLC National Executive Council on February 27, 2025, over allegations of misconduct, anti-union activities, and constitutional violations.

However, the matter has yet to be assigned a hearing date.

The leadership of the National Association of Nigerian Students, NANS South-West Zone D, has announced plans to picket South African companies in Nigeria following the ongoing xenophobic attacks in the country.

DAILY POST reports that some Nigerians were recently killed in South Africa over the violent attacks.

A statement issued to newsmen by Comrade Adeyemo Josiah Kayode, Coordinator, NANS South-West, Zone D, said that the association is mobilizing to take decisive and lawful action by organizing peaceful picketing and mass advocacy against South African business interests operating in Nigeria.

“We categorically state that the continued targeting of Nigerians under any guise is unacceptable and must come to an immediate end.

“This will include major corporations such as MTN Group and MultiChoice Group. It is morally indefensible for businesses to thrive in an environment where the lives of Nigerians are protected, while Nigerians are subjected to fear and violence elsewhere.

“This contradiction will no longer be tolerated,” the statement said.
