Controversial Catholic priest and spiritual leader of the Adoration Ministry Enugu, Rev. Fr. Ejike Mbaka, has stirred nationwide attention after issuing a dramatic prophecy warning ahead of Nigeria’s 2027 general elections. Speaking during a recent church service, Fr. Mbaka delivered a passionate appeal to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, urging him to take a bold and decisive action that, according to the cleric, could drastically shift the country’s security landscape—particularly in the troubled Southeast. “Mr. President, if you do this, one day you will say, ‘Father, God bless you,’” Mbaka said cryptically. “I’m giving you an expo. You don’t understand.” While he stopped short of directly naming the action he was referring to, many believe the priest was alluding to the potential release of Nnamdi Kanu , the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB). Mbaka has in the past repeatedly pointed to Kanu's release as a possible catalyst for peace in the Southeast. T...

A 65-year-old retired head teacher, Deaconess Helen Adewole, has shared a harrowing personal account of losing her daughter and two grandchildren within a matter of weeks in 2018 — a tragedy she says continues to push her into depression and emotional distress. In an emotional interview with our correspondent, Deaconess Adewole recounted how her first daughter, Oluyemisi Kolawole , a 36-year-old trained nurse, died in September 2018 while seven months pregnant. Her death followed the controversial death of her son, Bolaji Kolawole, a sickle cell patient, after what the family claims was a harmful traditional cleansing ritual imposed by her husband’s family. “Yemisi was seven months pregnant when she died. Before then, her little boy Bolaji had died just five days after a so-called spiritual cleansing. The family believed he was an Abiku, and she was pressured into rituals that involved incisions, herbal concoctions, and spiritual rites,” Adewole said. Yemisi, who had been residing...
