NIGERIA’S RICHEST CATHOLIC PRIEST! . His name is Reverend Father Emmanuel Matthew Paul Edeh, MSSP. Bushy haired and well built, the dark skinned popular priest is widely knownas ‘Father Edeh’ or ‘Father Elele’ because of hisCatholic Prayer Ministryand thePilgrimage Centrefor Eucharistic Adoration and Special Marian Devotion which he sited in Elele, Rivers State.A native of Akpugo in Enugu State, there is hardly any serious Catholic who has not heard about his pilgrimage centre or even visited there. In fact, his blue, red and white stickers adorn many homes, offices and cars.Unarguably a billionaire, Father Edeh has interests in education, health, publishing, merchandising, real estate, agriculture, hospitality, banking, to mention but few. The irony, however, is that in spite of giving birth toall these, everything is still in the name of church. Especially because he’s a Holy Ghost priest and members of that congregation are not permitted to own anything.The founder ofMadonna University(in Okija, Ihiala, Anambra State),Caritas University(in Emene, Enugu State),OSISATECH Polytechnic(also in Enugu),Our Saviour College of Education,Our Saviour Primary and Secondary Schools, his investment in the educational sector is massive and monumental.Also the brain behindOur Saviour Diagnostic CentresandMadonna Hospitals,theFathers,SistersandBrothers of Jesus The Saviour Congregationswere also set up by him. LikewiseEmene Community Bank.Richly endowed with trading skills and acumen,Triumph Water,Triumphrange of cosmetics, etc also belong to him. Equally into the production of sacramentals, there are very, very few priests that can compete with him in terms of industry and resourcefulness, both here and abroad. Overflowing with anointing, thousands throng his pilgrimage centre monthlyfor blessings, freedom and prayers. Naturally self-effacing, it’s his good works that have been giving him away.Born in 1947, his healing ministry commenced in 1985, soon after his ordination, in Elele, a rural community in Rivers State. But soon grew to become one of the top Catholic pilgrimage centres in the world. Educated atHoly Angels Catholic Primary School,Akpugo, Enugu;Holy Ghost Juniorate,Ihiala, Anambra;Holy Ghost Scholarsticate, Awo Omama, Imo;Bigard Memorial Seminary, Enugu;Urban University, Rome, Italy;De Paul University, Chicago, USA andLoyolaUniversity Medical Centrecum Mary Ann Jay Hospital, Illinois, USA, the professor’s deeds of charity and volume of humility resonate far and wide. His father is late, but themother is still alive. Alongside his three other siblings – a man and two women.

Very rich priest indeed. For your information, GOLD TRANSPORT owned by him was registered on his brother's name. Which means he willed the company over to his brother. Other investments will eventually return to the church when he is no more.

The last time I saw him, he is becoming very old.

I am also a graduate of one of his tertiary institution.

I heard he is a ritualist. Dont know how true but strange deaths occur in his school, madonna all the time.

4get what you heard. Tell me a school in Nigeria that has not lost a student before. Or is it because all students are living inside the school hostels, that makes term the priest a ritualist?

Heard about him, and know him, but haven't used any of his stuff except Gold Transport during my days in the north

His wealth belongs to the Church
