Popular Nigerian Bishop, Samson Benjamin Wears Sackcloth In Protests Against Buhari's Bad Government

Few days after he walked the street of Satellite town with coffin on his head to protest against bad governance in Nigeria, he has yet again stepped out to warn the government of today against the great consequences that wait them if they fail to change

President Buhari has been warned again by popular Lagos State based Pastor Samson Benjamin, to repent from his ‘bad’ leadership or get ready to face God’s punishment.

 

The well respected clergyman and General Overseer Of Resurrection Praise Ministry in a statement released on Sunday, April 18, lamented the incumbent government’s attitude towards the state of the nation, noting that there is a great consequence awaiting the leadership, especially President Buhari if he fails to act positively.

Archbishop Benjamin said the wall of Nigeria has cracked, adding that the bigger the crack will become, the more Lizards will troop into the wall.

The clergy who is also known as Jehovah Sharp Sharp, took to the street of Lagos on Sunday to demonstrate against President Buhari’s government. The clergy had in the previous week when carried coffin on his head to give warnings to the present administration.

Archbishop Benjamin claimed he was not doing the demonstration on his own, but because God had instructed him to do so. According to him, sack cloth means the nation’s situation is so bad that the only person who can intervene is the Lord God almighty.

He revealed that if the leaders fail to listen and heed the warnings from the Lord as delivered by him, there will be great consequences. Benjamin reiterated that the sackcloth simply indicates that the situation of the country has gotten worse beyond what anyone born of human can repair.

Speaking about his previous demonstration and why he embarked on another spiritual exercise, the clergy said: “Last week I was carrying a coffin on my head, today I am on sackcloth and this is because the present and current managers of Nigeria are people that don’t listen to advice, suggestions and contributions, in fact, they perceive you as anti-government when you contribute.

He added: “Today I am in sackcloth, on the 15th of this month which was on Thursday, I turned one year seven months of not eating food cooked by fire or any pleasant food and you don’t expect that I will go on such a mortal vacation or solitary confinement without a message from God for Nigerians.

“This message is for the leadership from the president to the national assembly, to the federal house of representatives, to the governors, to the local government chairmen, the councillors and the appointees of the president that they should know that the country is already at a verge of serious confusion.

 

“You will agree with me that there have been agitations of breaking away here and there, they are a crack on the wall of our project Nigeria and our leaders seems not to know what to do, they seem to be sitting down and folding their hands, the way this thing is going, if the leadership do not arise to do something very quickly, there will be more agitations and the more the wall of Nigeria is being cracked, the bigger the crack will become, Lizards are already preparing to enter the cracked wall of the Nigerian nation so I had to put on sackcloth, not only because I am doing what I am doing now, but as a servant of God, sackcloth means the situation is so bad that the only person who can intervene is the Lord God almighty.

“I am not on the side of the politician, I am not on the other side but I am on the side of God, what I am doing now has nothing to do with hatred for any person, God sent me and I am delivering this message to the leaders to do something or they will see more.”

Benjamin again warned that the Nigerian leaders still have the opportunity to repent of their ways before it gets worse because God is not happy with them.

He said: ‘’Except the leaders repent of their ways, they will not be able to escape the consequences, so many of our leaders believe that no one can do anything to them because they have the money and influence but everything isn’t money.

“When God looks at the poor and he can no longer stand it and the cups of the rich is full, then HIMSELF will stretch forth His hands and redeem the people by himself, Nigeria needs redemption right now, except the leaders sit down and find a way to redeem Nigeria from this quagmire, the rod of the Lord is already on its way upon them, if they continue to toil this line, they are inviting the rot of God.”

 

“When a man has a quarrel with a man, another man will settle them but when a man has a quarrel with God, nobody born of a woman can settle that quarrel. Now they still have the time to repent, now that I am still on sackcloth, they have the time to repent, I am not only on sackcloth alone, I carried ashes with me, it is part of the deep grievances we have, I carried this ashes to let you know the level of the anger of the most high, He is not happy. God will rise in his anger, he will send his rod upon the leaders except they repent,” the clergy reiterated.
