My Church Bazaar Is Business And For Money-Making; Stay Away If You Won’t Donate – Father Mbaka Warns Politicians

The Spiritual Director of the Adoration Ministry, Enugu Catholic Chaplaincy, Rev Father Ejike Mbaka has told Nigerian politicians to stop coming to his annual harvest and bazaar if they would not donate money.

The controversial Catholic priest, however, warned banks and businesses that failed to make donations to his adoration ministry, that he would cut ties with them adding that his bazaar would be strictly for business and money-making.

Mbaka stated this during a recent church programme whose video had since gone viral.
In the video seen by SaharaReporters on Friday, Fr Mbaka said he did not want someone who would come to his bazaar and refuse to break “kola” while he announced November 12, 2023 as a date for his ministry’s bazaar.

According to him, the agenda for the bazaar “is mega wealth and not meager, mega wealth” adding that “Everyone should go and prepare well for it. Save what you will use to show God’s appreciation. At least once in a year, you show appreciation to God.

“Come along with all our friends. Don’t come with someone who will be bad luck for us. Or someone who will come here to make trouble. Or someone who will come here that day and refuse to break cola.

“What we have that day is giving money to God. If you know you wouldn’t want to participate in it, don’t come. Bazaar has a spirit that accompanies it. When we see you, you will be given a microphone to come and kill a cow for God. It’s not an insult, it’s for God.

“But if you say no and would want to make trouble for us because you know the way to the Bishop’s house or anywhere else, you will only meet trouble at the end of it.

“I can’t understand how someone would come for a bazaar and refuse to break cola and a Rev Father would be asked to go and apologise to him. And it’s being told as a story. The one who’s right then becomes wrong and vice versa.

“Let it not happen again, because if someone tries it again, he will be forced to beg for food with empty plates in the street.”

“All the banks we have relationships with should come and do something for God in the bazaar. If they don’t come, it means they don’t want our relationship again. Yes, it’s business.”
SaharaReporters had last year reported that the controversial Enugu Catholic priest claimed that those supporting the Labour Party’s presidential candidate, Peter Obi, were wasting their money.
The cleric had described Obi as a stingy man who was not concerned about the plights of those around him.
He had also declared that the former governor of Anambra State was under a curse, adding that except he (Obi) came to apologise to him, he would never be Nigeria’s president.
