The Catholic Archbishop of Lagos, Adewale Martins, says the Spiritual Director of the Adoration Ministry, Enugu, Rev. Fr. Ejike Mbaka, could be banned from preaching if he continues to deviate from the doctrines and tenets of the Catholic Church.
Martins , who was appointed Archbishop of Lagos by the Pope in 2012, said this during an interview with the BBC Igbo while reacting to Mbaka ’s prophecy that Hope Uzodinma would emerge as governor of Imo State.
Mbaka had on New Year’ s Eve prophesied that Uzodinma would emerge as governor in 2020 , a prophecy which came to pass on Tuesday when the Supreme Court sacked Emeka Ihedioha and named Uzodinma as the duly elected governor .
Reacting to the prophecy, which has stirred heated debate , the archbishop said Mbaka was under the Diocese of Enugu and did not report to him .
He , however , said if Mbaka continued in the manner he was doing things , the Catholic Church may bar him from ministering.

Martins said , “ Fr. Mbaka falls under the authority of the Bishop of Enugu Diocese and therefore he has the responsibility of cautioning him . I can imagine that this must be giving the bishop some challenges.
“ It must be giving him a bit of a headache and I feel sorry for him and I hope he will find some way of dealing with this matter that has been recurring. Of course , what could be done in the end is either to say, ok you receive the sanction of being stopped from public ministry. That is a possibility . If it is not done , there must be a reason .”
Martins , who was ordained a priest in 1983 , said the Catholic Church does not engage in partisan politics.
He said even if Mbaka received a prophecy from God , he ought to ensure that his conduct corresponds with the scriptures and the doctrine of the Catholic Church.
The archbishop added, “ It is utterly surprising that Fr Mbaka would go as far as naming one person as governor against another . It is embarrassing when you hear of priests or people in position of authority making statements that are clearly partisan .
“ The position of the Catholic Church on matters that have to do with politics is not to be partisan . Of course, we as a church cannot be oblivious to political events and happenings in the country or the world at large and therefore we must speak from the point of view of principles .
“ The priest who believes he has a gift of prophecy has to test whatever has been told to him in the light of the scriptures, in the light of the teachings of the church and in terms of the authority that has been given to leaders in the church . ”
Martins said Mbaka ’s behaviour was at variance with the teachings of the Catholic Church and he had fallen below the standard expected of priests .

Mbaka, who was ordained a Catholic priest in 1995, has been known to give many controversial prophecies.
In 2002, he prophesied that the then Governor of Enugu State , Chimaroke Nnamani , would not return to office in the election but the governor won a second term .
In 2015, Mbaka prophesied that President Goodluck Jonathan would lose to the current President, Maj Gen Muhammadu Buhari ( retd.) , which came true.

Mbaka have simply reduced himself to a political charlatan in priestly Cassock robes.The many controversial prophecies he pronounced that never materialize e.g. death of Chimaroke Nnamani etc makes him a priest of fortune.

His controversial prophecy on the Imo supreme court debacle gave him away as an opportunistic seer because the judgement of the supreme court will forever defy judicial logic.God is not an author of confusion.

Una wan divide Catholic Church? The way people follow Mbaka and his submissions here is illogical. Dem fit beat you sef!

His supporters are still waiting for Nnamani to die

Father Mbaka was blunt that is why many are finding it difficult to swallow

Mbaka system of prophecy is alien to Catholic doctrine and mysterious to many Nigerians that doubt the authenticity of his prophecies . It well known in this part of the country that Satan can use any body to manifest her plans in disguise.

Las las Father Mbaka na scam

My Lord,

Let him be banned from only political prophesy.
Remember, he need to preach to win souls for Christ.

Thanks for understanding my Lord.

Na una wahala

Mbaka is no man of God, he is just a mouth piece for some people. It is truly unfortunate.

THEY WILL USE HIM AGAINST IPOB THEN WE WILL END HIS PRIESTHOOD

Jesus Christ is merciful.

As a member of catholic church, father Mbaka has embarrassed the church. He conduct himself as a pentecostal pastors.

Mbaka is just another political jobber who dines with corrupt Nigerian politicians for his advantage... If you ignore him and pay no attention to him as an elected leader, you become his enemy and he joins the opposition camp to attack you.

God is not an author of confusion....but Mbaka claiming to be a servant of God is ridiculous he is not only a vessel of confusion but an architect of discord...he is burning himself faster than what hell prepared for him.

You people should leave Fr. Mbaka alone. I am disappointed with the Archbishop, why must you silence the voice of the prophets Is Hope Uzodinma not a human being? You people are the ones being partisan because already, you all are Pro-PDP, that's why you are against Fr. Mbaka.

Nothing concerns God with APC or PDP. Just like Saul, God has rejected Ihedioha and like Fr. Mbaka rightly said, that Uzodinma has been spiritually empowered to take over, but how it will take place, he doesn't know but that it must come to pass and so it was.

Is the Catholic church holier than God?
Fr. Mbaka is first, a minister of God, then a Catholic priest. God owns the Catholic church, why would the Archbishop dictate for God?

I am a staunch Catholic, Archbishop please mind your Lagos archdiocese. Pray for Hope Uzodinma to deliver not all these low talks.

Mbaka is a cash cow for Enugu diocese. The amount of money he donated during cathegraticum is out of this world
