His post read:

“In February 2022, during my Valentine vacation with my wife in Uyo, we visited Dr Uma Ukpai’s Church auditorium to pray. It wasn’t the day they gather for prayers but we were lucky to convince the gateman to grant us access to pray at the altar.

“To be honest with you, I couldn’t go too close to the altar because the glory and power deposit in that auditorium can be visibly felt.

“If my memory serves me right, I think we asked God for two things: speed and a child. Same year, my wife took in, I bought my first car and got a lot of properties. A new chapter was opened for me.

“I made plans to see Papa Uma this January for my Personal Retreat but something happened and I shifted it to January 2026. I told myself that I will just lodge in Uyo for weeks until his protocol allows me to see him. More like waking up to go knock on the gate every day for as long as possible I’m able to meet him.
