Rev. Fr Mbaka a gift from God that must not be limited to Enugu.
As devout Roman Catholics, we need Rev Father Ejike Mbaka in Maiduguri or Kano or Adamawa Diocese where he is needed most. Christians are persecuted in the Dioceses mentioned above and more importantly there is poverty in the land.
So we need a strong priest with track record of charity, Charismatism, and “fearless”, as President Muhammadu Buhari described Mbaka, in the North East to convert more souls to our Lord Jesus Christ and Catholism. This would be following in the example of then Rev Father Matthew Hassan Kuka in Kaduna who is now in Caliphate Sokoto as Bishop of Sokoto Diocese .

We need Fr Mbaka as a senior priest of Adamawa or Maiduguri or Kano. In Maiduguri Diocese at least 50 out of 58 parishes in the Catholic Diocese have been destroyed by Boko Haram. We need Fr Mbaka-styled priesthood to rebuild them. He has a lot of charitable works in Enugu Diocese. I want him to repeat the same fit in Borno or Sokoto. Mbaka has the support of Mr President to preach the gospel, as well, so it is a job made easy for the Catholics.
I am aware that Rev Fr Mbaka actually prepared himself for the North because he hired a Haura translator in Enugu. So, it won’t be difficult for him.
By Baptism we were converted to Christ.
By confirmation we were made soldiers of Christ.
No Cross, No victory .
