Camillus Ejike Father Mbaka, also known as Anthony Ebenezer Mbaka, is a Nigerian Catholic priest, singer, and the founder of Adoration Ministries in Enugu. In the southeast of Nigeria, he is renowned for being one of the most important religious figures.

Early life

Mbaka was raised by his family of palm wine tappers in Amata Ituku, Awgu Local Government Area, Enugu State, where he was born. He received his secondary education at St. Vincent’s Secondary School, Agbogugu in the Enugu State local government of Awgu.

Priesthood

Mbaka had his priestly training at Seat of Wisdom Seminary in Owerri, Imo State, and St. Joseph’s Seminary in Ikot Ekpene, Akwa Ibom State. He received his Melchizedek priestly ordination on July 29, 1995, in the Roman Catholic Church.

Controversies

On December 31, 2014, Mbaka addressed a congregation and encouraged them to remove the then-president Goodluck Ebele Jonathan from office because he had failed to halt the rise of corruption and insecurity in the nation. In line with his priestly and prophetic ministry, Fr. Mbaka has called for a change in the administration. Ever since he received his priestly ordination in the Roman Catholic Church, Fr. Mbaka has consistently directed, advised, and warned every administration in Nigeria

Mbaka demanded that President Buhari step down on April 28, 2021, due to the escalating insecurity in Nigeria. The Nigerian Presidency responded to Mbaka’s call with a statement via Garba Shehu, claiming that Mbaka is upset that President Buhari disregarded his request for contracts after he requested them as payment for his support in 2015 and 2019.

It was once said that there were rivalry-related occurrences, but both Reverend Fathers Mbaka and Emmanuel Obimma refuted this untrue notion (Ebube Muonso).
