Some Governors Sold Out Nnamdi Kanu —Rev Fr Mbaka
Outspoken Catholic priest and Spiritual Director of Adoration Ministry, Enugu, Nigeria (AMEN) Rev Fr Ejike Mbaka, has attributed the re-arrest of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu to betrayal by some governors.
The Eagle reports that Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra ( IPOB), was intercepted on Tuesday and repatriated to Nigeria to face alleged terrorism and felony charges.
Fr Mbaka, reacting while speaking to his congregation on the topic: “E No Dey Again” fingered governors from the east for the activist’s ordeal, insinuating that they had sold out their own brethren for a pot of pottage.
“Don’t sell your son because you are governors today! Live and let live. Let the leaders listen. The solution is not in arrest and handcuff, the solution is in job creation.”
“Leaders beware! Their stubbornness will collapse this country one day! If care is not taken, it will happen like an earthquake!
“Even if you arrest 100 people, it will not stop the agitation. If anything, it will worsen the situation.”

“Many people are clapping for them now. But when the heat becomes unbearable; when the sun riots, when heavens shake you will understand.
“When they killed Jesus Christ and put him in the prison-grave – Jesus’ prison was in the grave – they thought it was all over for Him, that the end had come.
“Whoever that you have in heart now that is in the prison, may the Lord be with that person. May the Lord show such persons mercy. May they receive favour; favour for my people.
“May the Lord show him favour, even from the prison warders that would be protecting him.”
“Our suffering in Nigeria is unnecessary. There is no reason, apart from wickedness, why people should suffer in this country,” he said.

“I remember when we were growing up. You would hardly hear that people stole. Politics was not about amassing wealth at that time. But today, kidnapping has become a multi-billion business. And if you come to the Southeast, the zone has become the hub of hardship.
“If our leaders do not find a way to put Nigeria in a good platform, one day, this country will collapse!
“If they do not do what they should do, they do not provide jobs but rather continue to amass wealth and millions of Nigerian youths keep watching them. Time shall come when what we are experiencing today would appear like mere biscuit.

“Our leaders are not ready to utilize our resources well but it cannot continue like this. Vengeance is coming,” Fr Mbaka said.

The insensitivity of our leaders is most worrying.
What Fr Mbaka is saying is not out of place.
The youths have been made to feel that money 💰is picked on the streets. Simply put, the youths don’t want to go to school or to do any meaningful job to make a living. The politicians have engraved in them that you don’t work hard to get money. With basically no education but forged certificate some of our legislators are sitting tight discussing about Nigeria they know nothing about. There is hunger in the land and the affluent don’t care.
