Rev. Fr. Ejike Mbaka, a Catholic priest and founder of Adoration Ministry, Enugu, Nigeria (AMEN), has recounted what he described as a profound medical and scientific mystery concerning his vision after extensive eye examinations in the United States. In a recorded testimony after returning from abroad, the cleric said ophthalmology specialists told him his eyes had worsened beyond the threshold of severe visual impairment, yet he continues to read and get around on his own without help. Mbaka said the tests were prompted by years of intense stress and sleeplessness. During advanced diagnostic procedures, the medical team first assumed he would need full-time assistance. "They said medically and scientifically, it is not possible for a man whose eye issue has reached the fifth or sixth level of blindness to see, talk less of coming by himself," Mbaka recounted. The medical professionals were reportedly astonished when the priest opened a Bible and read directly from its pages in their presence, observing that such functionality would require entirely new biological optics. The findings were later reviewed by Dr. Chiogbu Chukwu in Los Angeles and another specialist, Dr. Scott, who both purportedly confirmed that the physical structures of the eyes were no longer clinically functional despite his intact sight. "Chiogbu confirmed through Dr. Scott that, medically, scientifically, the two eyes are gone. But I’m seeing with them," Mbaka said. "What then do you call a miracle? I’m a beneficiary." Although he attributes his continued sight to divine intervention, the cleric cautioned his congregation against dismissing conventional medical science in favor of faith healing alone. Urging followers to balance spiritual devotion with professional healthcare, Mbaka emphasized that medical practitioners derive their expertise from divine creation.
