Happy Birthday Pastor Loveth Nkadi
By Tony Eluemunor
Friday, August 15, 2025 belonged in a special way to Pastor Loveth
Nkadi. It was her birthday …and that marked a big day in Asaba where
she has for over a decade been a major prophetess ministering to both
the high and the mighty as well as the lowest of the low.
In these days of Mega Churches, Pastor Loveth has so far shunned the
denomination challenge which has often divided the Christian family in
Nigeria and elsewhere and has been ministering to one and all. So, she
heads an inter-denominational Christian prayer ministry named the
Peculiar Solution And Miracle Ministry (PSMN). For now, its prayer
sessions hold on Tuesdays, starting from 10: AM, at Maduemezie Hall,
Konwe Road, Off Nnebisi Road, Asaba. The Asaba ministry started in
2012 and has exploded in great measure.
Pastor Loveth is from Ossissa town in Ndokwa East LGA, near Kwale in
Delta North Part of Delta State. But she grew up in Uchi, Owele,
Okomedo area of Anambra state. Okumedo is a village within the Umuoji
community in Idemili North Local Government Area of Anambra State.
Pastor Nkadi’s trajectory in the prophetic ministry did not begin as
in the stories of most others you ever knew. No, her own is special,
unique and sometimes frightening. Think of a child, a mere child often
not knowing her left from her right seeing a fully grown up person and
then begin to drop frightful and frightening messages about that
person. The first reaction of by-standers would be total shock about
the goings on concerning such a strange child. The second is that the
parents would begin to straighten out the child…through beatings to
correct the malady. The third would be to take that child to
spiritualists, both hues of churches and traditionalists to find
answers to the mystery. All of this played out in the life of the
child that grew up to become today’s Pastor Loveth.
Yet, no amount of beating would stop her from narrating her visions
because the child in her innocently assumed that the visions she was
seeing were open to all persons and that such was actually the way of
the world.
Then, as she was approaching age 15, she saw a woman who was passing.
She began to cry and shout that that woman who was passing was
actually inside a coffin. That woman was pregnant and was accompanied
by her daughter. Ah, that was the height of it all; she was given the
beating of her life just to teach her to shut up her mouth. Then, just
hours later, a loud cried disturbed the entire vicinity; it came from
that woman’s daughter and it bore the ominous message that her mother
had succumbed to a sudden death.
Pastor Loveth’s parent’s reaction was, well, not strange. They began
to flog her as though that would solve the “problem”. It got to the
point where she was often asked to be looking skywards or downwards if
they were taking her anywhere so that she wouldn’t see any strange
visions. Or they would order her never to open her mouth until she was
safely back in the confines of the family house.
At age 18, she came to Ibusa to live with her aunt to learn a trade
but illness intervened and she returned to the parents at Owelechi.
Then she started following her age mates to churches, and she began to
channel her heavenly messages through Pastors. She was lucky then to
belong to the Ministry of Perfection but after her marriage, she
entered the Christ Royal Ambassadors Ministry, Ibusa, where she
actually found a mentor who guided her to climb higher on the
spiritual ladder. The Pastor of that church, Reverend Favour Esezobo,
put her under his wings, gave her much encouragement. Under him, she
experienced her first true mentorship. Even at present, she calls Rev.
Esezobo her spiritual father. They still meet, they still pray
together in a father-daughter-like collaboration.
She later attended the Bible School of Faith Liberation Church
(Jubilee Centre), Asaba, which Bishop Nuel Ikeakanam, a one time-
journalist, oversees. Ikeakanam, from Issele-Uku, started his
journalism career at NTA Benin, then he was on the Editorial Board of
New Nigerian Newspapers, Kaduna and later became Editor, Nigerian
Observer newspaper, Benin-City, before heeding the call to serve in
the Lord’s Vineyard. (Oh, Nuel’s schoolmates at St. Anthony’s College,
Ubulu-Uku, the university and journalist colleagues still remember him
as the very gentle and soft-spoken Tony).
How has her spiritual journey been? Pastor Loveth’s reply was short
and pointed: “My brother, it was war, pure war. My family did
everything to stop me. My people even carried me to a shrine to wash
my head so that I would stop seeing strange visions. But I resisted.
Three days later, the priestess of that shrine died”. Then she
remembered how she warned her father not to travel home during a
particular New Yam Festival of her home town because enemies with
satanic spiritual powers would attack him there. Her father disdained
that prophesy after all he had been traveling home before that.
Unfortunately, it was only after he made that visit and died that the
members of her family began to take her serious. That experience still
haunts her because he she loved her father dearly and still cherishes
her memory.
Now, Pastor Loveth Nkadi, married with children, has become one of
the Asaba landmarks. Her name has become a household word in Asaba and
people with problem come to her from all across the federation.
Some members of her prayer ministry recounted their experiences: The
first, a lady from Isoko, Delta South Senatorial District, Mrs. Linda
Nwokolo said, “I heard of Pastor Loveth and her ministry when a
neighbour invited one of my friends who was going through a difficult
patch. She asked for my opinion and I asked her to take an
exploratory trip and report back to me because I, too, needed
spiritual help. That was in 2016, September, and she was highly
impressed. So, I accompanied her the next Tuesday and I couldn’t
believe my eyes. I attend Living Faith Church where we pray kingdom
advancement prayers, but here, I was introduced to liberation prayer.
In no time God solved the problems that took me there. One particular
challenge I had was health. My doctor had told me that I would not
able to give birth again after I had my first child. On seeing Pastor
Loveth for the first time, she told me that I had a child already and
that she saw me having more children as well as a surgery. She asked
me not to be afraid that the surgery would be successful. Yes, I had
my second child and then successfully had that surgery after which I
had a third child. I had all my children in that same hospital so the
doctor that had said I would be unable to have more than a child was
dumbfounded. I still see him and we laugh over it because I was then
suffering from epigastric hernia and my stomach was massively
swollen”.
The second testimony came from Mrs. Ebietan Judith Bosede. She said “I
met Pastor Loveth, through my friend who was a pastor under her. My
brother was wrongly accused, arrested and detained at Police
Headquarters, here in Asaba. My mother was a Pastor in Warri, so her
Pastor colleagues had prayed but nothing worked. On a Friday evening,
we went to the church from which Pastor Loveth moved to Maduemezie
Plaza but she was not around. We waited. Within 30 minutes she walked
in and announced that she was headed to the market but the Lord asked
her to return to attend to the tortured souls waiting for her and she
began giving us messages even without asking us any questions. She
told us that my brother was innocent and that the bribe I wanted to
give to a Policeman would not work as my brother would not be released
immediately. She said we should hold on to God and be patient because
the boy would not come out now, but would later come out unexpectedly
and that God would make him rich, a millionaire, straight from prison.
“I didn’t obey her instructions because it didn’t make sense that
someone would become a millionaire from prison, and even a pauper
would not want to remain in prison. So, I gathered N350, 000 meant for
that Police IPO and returned to Pastor Loveth to pray over it. She
said again that the IPO would collect the money but my brother would
not be released. I didn’t trust her after all, the IPO had given us
every assurance. On the appointed day, the IPO asked that my brother
be remanded in prison custody. The Judge accepted and I fainted. Yes,
I fainted.
So, I returned to Pastor Loveth and pleaded with her to forgive my
unbelief. She reiterated that God would release my brother after
favouring him. My brother was released in 2021. You won’t believe it
but he bought his large tract of land from the prison. The big
generator they have now in Okere Prison, Warri, my brother bought it.
From the prison, he released more than five inmates. Remember that
Pastor Loveth had told us that my brother would be favoured from the
prison and God did it; right in the prison, he met a lady who changed
his life. Now, my mother is dead and I head her church ministry.
Pastor Loveth is the minister to me who is the head of that ministry –
Holy Ghost Prophetic Solution Ministry, Eterigbe, Warri, near the
Federal Petroleum University”.
When Mrs. Ebietan spoke with me, she was visiting Asaba to honour
Pastor Loveth on her birthday, just to honour her. God honours her
words. When she tells you that such and such are going to happen, you
better believe her – in your own interest.
Pastor Loveth is married with children. Often she is just an ordinary
wife and mother concerned about ordinary things; children’s school,
their health. Other times, she would talk lovingly about her brothers
and her aged mother who is living with her. At such times she would
leave you wondering when and how she goes from the physical world to
the realm of the spiritual. She attributes it all to God, the Almighty
who knows all things but whom we can’t comprehend.
