The life of Rev. Dr Uma Ukpai
According to Rev Uma's mentee and colleague, long before he became a household name globally, he was described as a man with a "fast life".
The Professor noted that for the evangelist, food was never a priority.
He said:
"He lived a life of prayer and fasting. Food was not a problem for him; he could go days without food."
Madugba disclosed that this discipline started well before he adopted his many "spiritual sons and daughters."

Speaking further, Prof. Madugba narrated how Rev. Uma made a unique covenant with God before he ever stepped onto a major crusade ground.
He claimed that the evangelist’s presence alone was often enough to trigger the supernatural.
"He had prayed for a long time that he didn't even need to preach. He would carry the Bible and cry, and the cripple would walk, the blind would see. Miracles were happening everywhere," the Professor stated.
