Reverend Father Mbaka is officially a wailer says Nigeria has never had it this bad

Controversial catholic priest Rev. Father Mbaka has joined the ‘’Association of Wailing Wailers of Nigeria'’. Mbaka who was in one of President Buhari’s vocal supporters seems to be making a u-turn as he was heard lamenting about the hardship in Nigeria. Father Mbaka reportedly said,  “there’s hunger everywhere” in the country, students can no longer pay school fees as the fees have been “hiked” despite many being unable to pay them. Using typically colourful language, he said “Nigeria is being attacked ferociously by hunger” as landlords and tenants were complaining. He stressed that the church “feels the impact and can’t keep quiet”.

“Buhari should know there is trouble”, Mbaka declared and the president needed the right type of advisers that “represented the poor masses”. He called on Buhari to “do away with his advisers”.

Mbaka emphasised that “there was suffering everywhere and people are smelling of suffering. A hungry man is an angry man”. He added that there was a lot of anger and there was no solution. He claimed that the mortuaries were full because the “death rate was high” and many people “were attacked by hunger and hunger is like a robber”.

Mbaka asked the president to “sit up” because “a red light was blinking on the country”.

On the fabled fight against corruption, Mbaka claimed that “nobody wants to listen to stories about Saraki and Ekweremadu” and what was needed was “economic revamp”. The Senate President Bukola Saraki and his deputy Ike Ekweremadu were charged with forgery in what many see as a politically-motivated prosecution. Mbaka implied that hungry people didn’t care about corruption prosecutions.

He used the collapsing exchange rate of the Naira to illustrate the dire economic situation, saying that “the dollar is growing as the Naira is dying”.

Mbaka, argued that hunger in the land was making people lose faith in God and there was no end in sight. The hunger was driving a lot of people to rely on the church for charity and this was an indication of the level of poverty.
