Mbaka, who addressed his parishioners at the Adoration ground in Umuchigbo Nike, Enugu, said he was summoned by the Bishop from where he was kept incommunicado.
He said the plan was to keep him for 30 days.
He said a lot of issues were presented against him after which the Church leadership, led by Bishop Calistus Onaga told him that he would remain indoors for one month, a period that would allow him pray and meditate over his activities.
The priest said he requested to be allowed the opportunity to come and address his parishioners after which he would shut down, “but they said No. Allow me to go and celebrate mass for my people just for today, I won’t even tell them that I am being punished, they said, No. I will just tell my members that I’m going for 30 days prayer, that after 30 days, we will come back and everybody will obey, they said, No.
“I also begged them to appoint another priest to come and celebrate mass for you today, they also said No.
“They didn’t treat me in a pastoral way. I was asking ‘am I being punished for what’? They said it was a meeting, but even before I reached the Bishop’s house, conclusion has already been made. What happened to me was like the day I was shot on the road.
Unfortunately for them, even before the meeting, a woman was already going around bragging that the Bishop will call me for a meeting, and that I was going to leave my house here for 30 days, and that after the 30 days, I would be sent to Rome, and Adoration ministry will be closed.
Mbaka cautioned that “in a time and cases like this, don’t give me a punishment that will cause troubles for us because I’m not alone.”
He said Bishop Onaga upon seeing the protest over his predicament, allowed him to go.
Mbaka said one of things presented against him was that he blessed Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, as well as his recent criticism of the President Muhammadu Buhari’s Government.
“Are you the owner of my mouth? You can’t tell me who to bless? If you are not happy that I blessed someone, you have your own mouth, you can curse the person. I cannot hate my brother because of some people who hatred is in their genes,” he declared.
frm dailypost
This guy again!!!
ReplyDeleteThis man sha...na them sabi
ReplyDeleteYet people were destroying properties thinking Buhari or DSS arrested him.
ReplyDeleteWe should learn to know the truth before acting.
Gumi has been uttering all sort of dangerous statements and is still free. The south is their greatest enemy not the north or anyone else.
ReplyDeleteHow does this relate to Mbaka?
DeleteI tire ooh
DeleteIsi gini?!
DeleteI nwekwara ako na uche?
The problem with many SE people is that they are dense with this sense of persecution sold to them.
Fr Mbaka has been in the news recently for the wrong reasons and the church wants to discipline him and you're yarning dust. I'm Igbo and Catholic but I shudder at your thought process.
Someone that's close to him should caution him. He's going too far and it may backfire
DeleteThankGod he's safe
ReplyDeleteAmen 🙏 oooo Ijay
DeleteNa una sabi.
ReplyDeleteSMH!! Where are those that claimed DSS arrested this man?
ReplyDeleteOga go for penance!!!
He is twisting the real truth to look like a victim.. He should go to the monastery for penance and spiritual cleansing.. The holy spirit had departed from him.
DeleteNA empty mbaka dey yarn.
Father Mbaka,, you talk too much. I could remember the way you celebrated Buhari's victory over Jonathan.
ReplyDeleteMy question is this,are you a reverend father or a politician?
My brother/sister, he is a politician. I can't believe a priest can be uttering all these. He acts like he is above the bishop. God bless Okogie and Alaba Job, those ones would have clipped his wings years ago.
DeleteDespite being a Catholic, I don't rate him high. All these charismatic people, too like over sabi.
Amazing Grace
So because he celebrated him he doesn't have the right to change his mind. Haven't you been betrayed by someone you trust because of what they promised? So you will keep being with such person becos of what? Let people who supported buhari be pls...they have seen that their promises to the people is not what they are doing, so they have right to say NO!I won't be part of this.
DeleteI am telling you, bishop has the right over him to caution him whenever he feels he is not doing what is right besides Catholic Church forbids their priests taking part in politics and he is going contrary to that rule. Fr mbaka where is your oat of obedience to the church and your bishop? Which they can play him the video of his ordination to remind him that.
Delete@Anon 9:44,let me educate you,as a reverend father, you are occupying a position that commands respect.In other to avoid being rubbished/relegated to the ground,stay away from politics/politicians.Have you forgotten that this same Father Mbaka prophecied that Buhari is our Messiah that will lead Nigeria to the promised land.
DeleteHe is a Nigerian and has every right to speak against bad government.
DeleteHe mustn't be a politician to do that.
He celebrated Buhari not Jubril
DeleteIf he is incorrigible, the bishop should give him a stiffer punishment. Fr Mbaka has not shown good example in recent times and that's a shame.
DeleteWe cannot be quiet and the church gets rubbished by one man.
Mbaka e don do, am sure it was said in the secret, but u don publicize am
ReplyDeleteAt the end he still spill. He deserves to visit the monastery...
DeleteHmmmm
ReplyDeleteMbaka rest kwa. If you see black, you go black, you see white you turn white. Mbaka, stop brainwashing those jobless youth and umunna boys,
ReplyDeleteBecause you know Ipob will reason your matter, you quickly turned and started blessing Nnamdi Kanu. Guy man rest abeg.
All this brain damage you people keep causing in this country. God is really merciful.
You, kanu, bandits,fulaniherds, Buhari are all same.
Enugu state know better, to send this man on exile since the Era of Chima.
He got involved with muddy buhari and his government. How could he think he would come out of the mud tidy? The chickens are coming home to roost...
ReplyDeleteThis is why I say we Christians are stupid fools! Gumi, Pantami and the lot will say all sorts and incite and the entire fulani Muslims, even the Presidency will rally, close ranks and protect them. But we Christians will allow ourselves to be used to tear down our own, instead of rallying round and protecting those who have the courage to stand up to the atrocities going on. They are killing us and waging an insidious jihad against us as instead of seeing the signs and crying out with one voice, we allow ourselves to be used to silence our own! Bunch of cowardly fools!!
ReplyDeleteMbaka? standing up to the atrocities going on? How? or he's after his own personal interest? Have you forgotten how he bad mouthed Jonathan using his adoration center in favour of this present regime??
DeleteHe's not speaking up for anyone except for himself and his interest....
Clap for yourself..
DeleteYou are part of the problem. You're advocating that christians see black and call it white?
DeleteWhy would any sane person(s) rally round and protect nonsense? Mma ihu abuo!
Chineke meere unu ebere because your senses have taken leave of absence.
Mbaka is now doing too much. Catholic priests don't partake in politics but He keeps doing the opposite.
ReplyDeletefake men of God everywhere
ReplyDeleteMy own take is that all these men of God,should listen and speak when God direct them to do so.
ReplyDeleteWhat God says he will do ,he will surly do.
He is not a man that lies.
They shouldn't be in a haste to deliver the message, if the message is not clear to them.
For you to spilling what was discussed with you in private definitely means you have lost the plot.
ReplyDelete*For you to be spilling*
DeleteThank God he's safe
