The mother of Prophet Ebuka Obi, the pioneer and spiritual director of Zion Prayer Movement Outreach (ZPMO) has gone public with a heartfelt plea for her son to get married and give her grandchildren, saying she wants him to have three or four children before fully throwing himself into his ministerial work.
In the video shared on Tuesday, 8 September 2026, the elderly woman was seated and conversing candidly when she disclosed that she has been persistently nudging the cleric on the matter. She did not mince words, stating plainly that she is "on his neck" and that marriage remains a pressing priority for her.

"His problem is his mother. That I am on his neck. Yes. That he must get married and get children. Three, four children, then he continue his work. I know he has not started," she said.
Prophet Ebuka Obi's Family Speaks Out
The moment quickly caught attention online, with many viewers struck by the warmth and directness of a mother laying out her expectations for a son who leads a growing spiritual movement.
Her remarks also echo sentiments that Prophet Ebuka Obi's father, Chief Vincent Obi, had earlier expressed. Legit.ng previously reported that Chief Obi described his experience accepting his son's calling as relatively conflict-free, saying he eventually stepped back and "left him to God" once it became clear that no amount of parental redirection would alter the young man's path.
However, Chief Obi made one point very firmly: since Ebuka is not a Catholic priest and is therefore not bound by any vow of celibacy, he urged his son to find a wife and build a family.

It appears both parents are aligned on that front, even if they each came to peace with his calling in their own way. The prophet's mother notably added that she knows he has only just begun his divine work, suggesting she sees marriage not as a distraction from ministry but as a natural complement to it.
