Head Adoration Ministry in Enugu Nigeria, Reverend Father Ejike Mbaka has accused former President Goodluck Jonathan of killing Nigeria after which he handed over the skeleton to President Muhammadu Buhari, even as he raised alarm over what he called, plans to kill President Muhammadu Buhari due to the war he is currently waging against corruption posture.

Mbaka, in his 2016 New Year message, which he delivered today before millions of worshipers in Enugu said: “My beloved Nigerians, those who led us from last year downwards, they have killed this country. None of them is qualified to stay in this country by now: the President, the Senators, the Reps, the chairmen of Local governments, the governors, they are wicked. It doesn’t matter the man of God they worship with; I tell you, before God and man, all of them are wicked. They hate this country, they succeeded in removing the liver, kidney and cardio vascular system of this country, and handed over to President Buhari, shambles, skeletal organs of this country..”

“No matter how malignant the problem is, God says He will be in charge; fellow Nigerians, let us wait upon God; I have a new message; I’m blessing and covering the message we are giving now in the prophetic name of Jesus; Father speak now as your servant listens.

“In 2013, there was a prophecy that was going to be an oil doom after several years of oil boom, and when that message came out of this ground, many started calling me a prophet of doom. How can there be oil doom in oil boom? And the oil price continued to climb, but the message said people should start to gather as in the days of Joseph, that the people in government should continue to gather, let them stop squandering our wealth; but they never listened; throughout the six years we passed in the past administration, God blessed our oil with high prices, over N140 per barrel, but the message kept coming, don’t mind the oil boom, there is going to be oil doom, our politicians stop embezzling our wealth but they said the money will continue to come, our oil will continue to flow.

“During these moments of the oil boom, there was excess crude money, they didn’t know what to do with our money, when our youths were suffering and still suffering, graduates had no jobs, new industries were not built, our roads were not reconstructed, our hospitals were in shambles and total collapse; our educations systems were in shambles and these politicians were building good schools outside the country, Ghana, etc, even hospitals in South-Africa, and other neighbouring countries and when any of them is sick he will be flown outside the country because there is no hospital in the country worthy of authentic medication, you cannot find any country in Nigeria that has worthy diagnostic facilities; not one; the entire money voted for hospitals were looted out, corruption was in quantum, to the level that the Nigerian Bishops had to convene a prayer against bribery and corruption and enjoined all Catholics to be praying that prayer daily.

“All the money voted for roads were swindled; many of them became millionaires, billionaires over night in naira, in dollars, in pounds, in euro when they have no workshop; no business centre; somebody who has nothing doing, just because he is a politician, and they wasted our oil money, now the doom came and there is no preparation for it; the economy of Nigeria is an oil based economy.

“Nigeria, as we speak now, economically, security wise is in the intensive care unit; if the oxygen is removed, Nigeria will die, people of God prayed, from here and there and God gave us Buhari. God has told us that Buhari is prayer answered; President Buhari is an answered prayer; whether you hate him or like him, Buhari is prayer answered; the Bishops of Nigeria, the Catholic Bishops prayed against bribery and corruption and this President came with a charter that has to do with war against corruption; all the prayers we have been doing about bribery and corruption, God answered it in Buhari who decided not to discriminate; there is nothing like religious or political discrimination in Buhari’s government. He needs all the support, unstoppable support; spiritual and otherwise; because if he is not the man in power now, had it been the last regime continued, by now, Nigeria would be for sale. All the monies voted to buy this and but that few people stole it; but we see joblessness, many have died because of a few people, and these same people want to use you to engineer crisis that Igbos are marginalized, nobody is marginalized; nobody marginalized us;

“I am not a sycophant; but I want to tell you that so far God is happy and he who God has blessed none can cause. Many people are planning to kill Buhari; there are many plans on how to eliminate his life so that corruption will continue; so that embezzlement will continue. But I speak to Buhari that God who put you there will protect you; be firm, remain resolute, don’t be intimidated; President Buhari God and his people are behind you, you are the answer to the prayer of His people.

“Can you eat your cake and still have it? Our past looters, not leaders, you may not understand, thieves in political positions, have eaten the cake of this country and now everybody is suffering it; the youths are suffering it, they want to tell you that you are marginalized; the Yorubas are not marginalized; the Hausas are not marginalized, Efik people are not marginalized; and it is only you people that are marginalized. In the present political scenario, the Igbos have the position of minister for external affairs in the person of Onyeama; the Igbo people have the position of science and tech in the person of Ogbonnaya Onu; if you go to Abia, you have industry and commerce, coming back to Anambra you have labour and productivity and the problem of our country today is unemployment and once there is job, there will be no kidnapping. The Igbos in the North are doing well; the Igbos in the West too, go to Alaba, they are treated with kindness, why are we engineering things that don’t exist; and like I said before, those saying this have their children abroad and they want to use you.

“Listen fellow Nigerians, as it is right now, most of what we are suffering now and we are going to suffer were caused few years ago but the Lord asked me to encourage you. Suffering is coming but it is not suffering under damnation, there is solution, it may take some time, but at the end of it, there will be testimony;
Nigeria is the giant of Africa, Nigeria is the best country in this world; with the best weather; the country that produces the most strongest people; people who can survive everywhere, people who can relate with any type of person, people who can survive any type of weather- Nigerians; people who can prosper anywhere; the destiny, the dynasty, the authority, the destiny, what it takes to make Nigeria great is restored this year.

“As I have told you, there is going to be crisis but God will handle it. This year, God said my people will be over-comers, things will be hard but my people will be over-comers.” [myad]

Senior Special Assistant to President Muhammadu Buhari on media and publicity, Malam Garba Shehu has given assurance that the President would consult with relevant stakeholders on the possibility of banning Hijab which is a dressing mode for Muslim women.
President Buhari had said during a Presidential media chat on Wednesday that he might ban wearing of Hijab by Muslim women if members of Boko Haram continue to use it, as they have been doing, as a cover to attack innocent Nigerians.
However, it was learnt that some people have been going about spreading the rumour that the President had actually banned Hijab.
In a statement today, Garba Shehu denied that the President had banned the Hijab, saying that the President would not take any decision on the issue without due consultation with all the stakeholders.
He said that the insinuations and rumours that the Buhari administration has banned Hijab, the Muslim women’s dressing symbol of modesty was an unfounded speculation.
Garba Shehu, whose statement sought to clarify the pronouncement of the President on Media Chat, said that the Buhari administration would always respect the rights of Muslims to protect their modesty and allow religious freedom as it affects everyone.
The Presidential spokesman admitted that the Hijab is being abused by terrorists to carry out suicide attacks on innocent people, which violates the teachings of Islam, but that everything will be done to balance national security requirements with the rights and obligations of citizens under their religions as protected by the constitution.
According to him, the increasing abuse of the Hijabby terrorists to perpetrate criminal mass murder and other atrocities is a reality, and that the government would address the security challenge in consultations with Muslim leaders with a view to finding a workable solution. [myad]

President Muhammadu Buhari has admitted that there is still a lot of work to be done to completely eliminate Boko Haram from Nigeria.
In a New Year message which he personally signed today, the President said that there is still a lot of work to be done in the area of security.
“Our Armed Forces  will maintain, consolidate and build on their successes in the war against Boko Haram and violent extremism.
“The government will not consider the matter concluded until the terrorists have been completely routed and normalcy restored to all parts of the country that have been adversely affected by the Boko Haram insurgency,”
President Buhari assured.
He further assured Nigerians that they will in due course, begin to enjoy the fruits of all the ongoing work, especially the contents of the 2016 budget. He stressed that the effective and efficient implementation of the budget proposals will address many of the socio-economic issues that are of current concern to Nigerians.
He noted that one area in which Nigerians, especially those in the northeast, have already begun to experience major change is in the war on terror.
“I commend our Armed Forces for significantly  curtailing the insurgency which has ravaged the northeast of Nigeria over the past few years.”
The President said that he is aware that Nigerians have experienced a number of significant hardships over the past months.
“Living in the State House has not alienated me from your daily sufferings. I am aware of the lengthy queues at fuel stations and of the difficulties businesses have faced in acquiring foreign exchange.”

Buhari said that these challenges are only temporary, adding “we are working to make things better.
“When I presented myself to you as a presidential candidate and asked you to vote for me, I wanted to be a leader who keeps his promises. I wanted to be a leader who restores the people’s hope in those elected to serve them. I wanted to be a leader who initiates positive and enduring CHANGE.
“I am still totally committed to being that kind of leader. Unforeseen circumstances and other distractions notwithstanding, I shall still do my utmost best to keep every promise I made to Nigerians during my election campaign.”
He said that on the past seven months since his government was inaugurated, he has focused on laying the right foundation for the CHANGE Nigerians voted for during the nation’s historic presidential election, adding that they would not regret the confidence they repose in him.
The President insisted that the ongoing crackdown on corruption will be vigorously intensified even as he urged the courts to support the efforts and help in the recovery of stolen funds by speedily concluding trials to show that impunity no longer has a place in this country.
“There is much work to do in other areas as well and I have charged all my ministers and other  appointees to ensure that Nigerians experience positive changes in their lives in 2016.
“We must reduce our country’s reliance on oil. We must diversify our economy. And we must do all we can to promote job creation.
“Our challenges are many but our determination to succeed is strong and unshaken. So too is our confidence in God.” [myad]
