Mbaka Warns of Looming Famine, Urges Prayers and Investment

The Spiritual Director of Adoration Ministry, Enugu State, Rev. Fr. Ejike Mbaka, has voiced serious concerns over the soaring fuel prices in Nigeria, emphasizing the need for urgent prayers to mitigate potential risks of widespread hardship and famine.

Speaking at the commissioning of a new filling station, Blessed Omemma Oil and Gas Limited, in Abakpa, Enugu East Local Government Area, Fr. Mbaka highlighted that the nation is already in a state of hunger, which, if unaddressed, could spiral into a famine crisis.

He advised Nigerians to be proactive with their finances, encouraging them to invest rather than keep money in banks, as the value of savings may continue to diminish amidst the economic challenges.

Fr. Mbaka urged the government to take decisive actions to address the fuel price hike and called for a united effort in prayer to find a solution. “We need more prayers for Nigeria to be well,” he stated. “What we are facing now is hunger, but if we’re not careful, we could face famine. I encourage people to invest their money wisely; don’t leave it in the bank where it will keep devaluing.”

He further remarked, “The government knows what they need to do about the fuel hike. One solution from them can overcome these toxic situations, and that’s why I emphasize the power of prayer.”

In his remarks, the Chairman of the Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria (IPMAN) Enugu Unit Depot, Chinedu Anyaso, commended Chief Ukaigwe for establishing the facility, which he said has provided employment opportunities for the youth and improved access to petroleum products in the area.

“This filling station will help ensure the availability and accessibility of petroleum products for residents of Enugu East Local Government and beyond,” Anyaso said, adding that the station also contributes to the local and national economy.
