The story of the Nollywood veteran actress, Camilla Mberekpe, popularly known as Mama Eko, who was at the Synagogue Church of All Nations, SCOAN, on Sunday ‘delivered’ from a demon that had possessed and tormented her for many years is still keeping so many people pondering.

During the deliverance section, the actress confessed, among other things, that her mission was to destroy a very good actress who prays and worships God a lot.

In her statement, “I don’t want her to go up. She’s a very good actress. I want to destroy her.”

“I destroyed her marriage because she refused to worship me. I hate it when she prays. She is a prayer warrior,” she said.

As she was trashing on the floor and screaming during the exorcism, what was particularly going through my head was the feelings of people who see her as their role model, her families and her friends.

For those who had hitherto seen her as their role model, it would be a complete bombshell to realize that their idol was such an embarrassing kind of person.

Who is your role model? How well do you think you know your role model? Would someone still be your role model having confirmed that s/he is diabolical? How many 'Mama Ekos' are still out there, or perhaps all supposed role models should be made to go through the ‘screening test’ of Pastor T.B. Joshua?

“A mighty pain to love it is,
And ‘tis a pain that pain to miss;
But of all pains, the greatest pain
It is to love, but love in vain”................Catullus

Liz Hodgkins was a university law student at Newcastle University in the roaring sixties. Standing at the head of a queue in the university canteen one day, she met a young drama student named John who was studying English. He was the most “handsome and intriguing looking young man” she had ever seen in her life and she fell madly and hopelessly in love with him. She pursued him relentlessly even to the point of changing her course to English so that they would be in the same department. Finally he noticed her and they started dating, well not exactly dating; more like sleeping together. He never took her anywhere or even wanted to be seen with her but she loved him so much, it didn’t matter. She was happy to make do with any crumbs of affection he offered and these were mostly a figment of her imagination. Continue here: https://www.passnownow.com/new.php?id=630
