MASSOB, IPOB blast Fr. Mbaka over comment on pro-Biafra agitation

-
A faction of the Movement for the Actualization of Sovereign State of Biafra, MASSOB, weekend, lashed out on Enugu Catholic Priest, Rev.Fr. Ejike Mbaka, describing his comment on the struggle for Biafra as insensitive and unguided.
Fr. Mbaka had during last Saturday sermon at his Adoration Ministry condemned the recent agitation and protests for Biafra nation describing the action as `evil.’
Apparently infuriated at the fiery clergyman’s comment, Director of Information, Factional MASSOB, Mr. Uchenna Madu regretted that Fr. Mbaka’ condemnation of Biafra struggle is, “selfish and shameful. How can a revered Igbo clergy man descend so low in making such a condemnable statement few days after President’s Buhari’s wife visited him.
“Mr President should be aware that no money given to Mbaka, persuasion, personal friendship with him can ever frustrate or diminish the rising status, consciousness and global reawakening/acceptance of Biafra. A man who speaks with both sides of the mouth at a time is a hypocrite and is not worth to be trusted. The Igbo christians, catholics and even the Pope will prove Mbaka wrong. Many Igbo clergymen including the Catholic priests are not in support of Mbaka’s government paid anti-Biafran comment.
“This why the Igbo youth and other citizens have lost confidence/trust on many Igbo leaders in Nigeria. Biafra agitators are more determined to sacrifice our shops, businesses, jobs, comfort and even the supreme price for the sake of our freedom. Mbaka should be aware that even during our peaceful/non violence demonstrations, the agitators, sympathizers and Biafran patronized his products including his sachet water and yogurts. Mbaka’s business boomed as the protests lasted.”
Meanwhile, IPOB in a broadcast on Biafra Radio has denounced Fr. Mbaka as a compromised priest speaking from both sides of his mouth.
Deputy Leader of IPOB, Uche Mefor, who fired back at the cleric, stressed that “Biafra is more than money!”
Mefor noted that the youths are protesting against injustice, oppression and subjugation, which is motivating them to seek their freedom.
The deputy leader further wondered why Mbaka who is a priest could not find courage to condemn Nigeria government’s extrajudicial detention of Kanu. He also advised him to refute his statement immediately if he was misquoted.
According to Mefor, Biafran youths have seen the truth having been enlightened on the need to restore Biafra, and nothing can stop them from demanding their rights.

Tribute to Pastor Paul Erakhifu - Pastor Wole Ayandeji, (Ondo State Media Director)

The body of Christ has lost a general, and the media arm of the Kingdom has lost one of its finest.  Pastor Paul I. Erakhifu was not just a colleague in the work—he was a standard. In an age where excellence is often sacrificed for speed, he chose both. His fingerprints are on countless broadcasts, outreaches, and digital outreaches that brought the Gospel into homes where the pulpit could not reach.  I knew him as a man who understood that media ministry is ministry. Every camera angle, every sound check, every late night edit was an offering to God. He taught younger hands without arrogance, corrected with grace, and carried the burden of the work with a quiet strength that only comes from walking closely with the Lord. His humility was disarming. His humor was healing. His diligence proved the scripture true: “Seest thou a man diligent in his business? He shall stand before kings.” And indeed, Pastor Paul stood before kings, but never forgot the King of kings. The news of h...

Pastor Paul,   I don’t know how to say this without my voice catching, but thank you. Thank you for being more than my media director. You’ve been a father in the work, a steady hand behind the scenes, and proof that ministry isn’t only on the pulpit—it’s in every detail done for God’s glory. You’ve carried the weight of making sure the message reaches people, often staying late, fixing what broke, training us when we didn’t know, and never once complaining. I’ve seen you choose excellence when no one would notice, and humility when everyone would. That’s rare. That’s Christ-like. Beyond the cameras and soundboards, you’ve carried _us_. You notice when someone’s quiet. You pray before you instruct. You correct with love, not pride. You’ve turned a team into a family, and made young people believe their gifts matter in God’s house. Pastor Paul, your sacrifice is written in the lives that have heard, seen, and encountered God because you refused to do half-hearted work. Heaven s...
