Fr. Mbaka Again: Chances of Buhari's healing may be slim
Popular Roman Catholic priest, Father Mbaka has made another startling revelation about the current health status of President Muhammadu Buhari, saying that the chances of Buhari’s healing “may be slim”
Father Mbaka made this know recently during one of his Miracle Ministries Programmes in Enugu State.
According to Father Mbaka, in the vision, President Buhari was critically sick and was being flown abroad for treatment.
“His health was in a bad shape and he was asking that (Father Mbaka) should pray for him. None among the people I have called, picked my calls,” he said.
“People think I speak with Buhari
everyday. When people climb into power, they are dazed. It is a long
dream. Our job is to pray for him but there are things that he must do
and there is no way to communicate it to him.”
“We pray for our president
and anyone that is suffering such a dangerous disease. We lift our
healing hands for divine healing upon our president. Wherever he is, may
he be healed in Jesus name Amen"
President Buhari is expected back to the country today Sunday, June 19, 2016.Cancel Maritime University at your own peril, Victor James warns FG
The International President of The Niger Delta Youth Association Worldwide, Comr.
Victor James has dared the Federal Government of Nigeria to cancel the
Maritime University and face the consequences of its actions.
Victor James gave this stern
warning at a press briefing in UK. The briefing was attended by a member
of British Parliament for Swansea East constituency, Carolyn Harris,
the National President of IYC (Ijaw Youth Congress) and other notable youth leaders from the Niger Delta region.
"The Maritime School should not be cancelled as it will be a channel of employment and development in Niger Delta region"
On Gbaramatu Military Invasion, Victor James vehemently condemned the invasion and called on the Federal Govt to apologize to the people of Gbaramatu
because it is not only an act of aggression but an act of war by a
group of administrators against an important integral part of the owners
of the Nigerian State.
"it is an abuse of the
institution (government) set up by the Nigerian State to run its affairs
and the perpetrators should be probed. Administrators of the government
of a federal state has no constitutional right to declare war against a
federating unit of any federation because it is devoid of logic and
commonsense. Such unprofessional action smacks of brigandage and
incompetence" he noted.
"It is only a mad person that would want to provoke the youths of the Niger Delta" ~ Victor James
The International President of The Niger Delta Youth Association Worldwide, Comr. Victor James has come hard on those, especially Northerners agitating for the scrapping of the Amnesty Programme.
In a statement made available to press men, Comr. Victor James also stated that it is height of injustice against the people of Niger Delta .
" It is only a mad person
that would want to provoke the youths of the Niger Delta, it is true
that many Northerners are against the Amnesty Program but the truth of
the matter is that they're ignorant because the entire Amnesty Program,
the Niger Delta Ministry and the NDDC's
Budget is not up to 1% of the total revenue of the oil and gas
generated from the region. If Petroleum Technology Development Fund
which was set up since 1994 is still in place then why should anyone be
talking about ending the Amnesty Program?? he queried
"That is injustice because PTDF was run solely as a Northern Agency with very minimal or no Southerners in it"
Paul Boro has failed us ~ Victor James
The Niger Delta Youth
Association Worldwide, a group that is committed to an egalitarian
society and a vehicle for peace building in the Niger Delta Region has
condemn the recent military invasion in Gbaramatu.
In a statement made available to press men, the group through its International President, Comr. Victor James also stated that the amnesty programme have failed following the appointment of Paul Boro.
"Firstly, Boro
has failed to drive effectively the fundamental educational objective
of the programme , given that upon his appointment he is yet to embark
on a comprehensive national as well international assessment of issues
militating against the effective implementations of the educational
aspect of the program"
"As many as 1500 students
both within and outside the shores of Nigeria are been owed at least 4
months of 'in-training and accommodation allowances' under Boroh's administration, this is a deliberate action by Boroh's administration to cover up his gross under-estimation of the Amnesty Budget, reason being that Boroh
never put up a professional team of auditors for a thorough
verification exercise but was hasty in declaring that the previous
administration under Hon. Kingsley Kuku was corrupt and has a lot of ghost names in the
program"
"This unsubstantiated claim led to a massive cut of the Amnesty Budget by the President Buhari's led administration and this has impacted negatively on the effective running of the education aspect of the program."
"In fact in terms of relating
with those who learnt various trades in order to get them ready for
re-integration which I think that he should work hand in hand with the
Niger Delta Ministry and the NDDC to achieve this objective, rather relations between Boroh and the trainees is at its lowest ebb
since the emergence of the Amnesty Program. So far nothing has changed
and no impact has been felt, instead the failure of proper communication
and networking is creating more agitators who might have some
connection with the 'Niger Delta Avengers" he noted
"The educational scheme of
the amnesty program have really empowered the youths of the region
academically and if the enabling environment is created, it will
motivate them to impact on the society that trained them in different
ways both home and abroad but injustice and deliberate undermining of
the welfare of these youths could lead them to channel their various
highly trained professional acumen to violence because not paying
students in-training and accommodation stipends or cutting it down just
to cover your own failure and ignoring them when they complain will
definitely fuel revolution whether silently or openly and same thing
goes for those who acquired trade skills including stopping their
monthly stipends with nothing to fall back to, definitely they might
fall back to something which will create chaos" he noted.FATHERS' DAY: GOVERNOR WIKE CALLS ON FATHERS TO INVEST IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF RIVERS STATE

If Fr. Mbaka was not happy about his transfer, then there is something wrong about his priesthood ~ Okogie
Cardinal Anthony Olubunmi Okogie stated this while speaking with news men on the occasion of his 80th birthday.
"As a priest I was shocked
when I heard that from his mouth. Nobody will take your life if God did
not sanction it. That he was wanted dead, who told him that? Were
assassins sent after him or he was only imagining it or he saw it in a
vision as he always says he always sees visions?
These are highly
contestable and as a priest what will he say about death? Why must he
fear about death? And that he was not happy about the transfer, why is
he a priest? A priest should be ready to go anywhere. I was in the war
front two years after my ordination as a priest. If he was not happy
about his transfer, then there is something wrong about his priesthood.
His priesthood should come to question" he noted.
