A Pentecostal Bishop has declared that Nigeria is right now in the ‘Sambisa
forest’, saying only the fittest persons can survive under the current
situation in the country.
Bishop Seun Adeoye of Sufficient Grace and Truth Ministry (SGTM), Rehoboth
Arena, Okinni, Osun State in a statement on Monday, January 02, 2017 noted
that there is no indication that the current hardship in the country will
be abated in this year.
He said, “We all entered into the New Year with lots of expectation but
there is no clear indication that things will be as smooth as we actually
anticipated. But, I pray it won’t be worse.
“We were told by our soldiers that they have cleared Sambisa forest of Boko
Haram. That was cheerful news. But Nigeria is still in the Sambisa forest
politically and economically. So, only the fittest can survive in this
country now.
“Corruption is still eating deep in the country and security of lives have
not been adequately tackled going by the continuing slaughtering of
hundreds of people in Southern Kaduna and massacres of innocent souls from
other parts of the country
“Prices of essential goods keep on rising without respite. Yes, only the
fittest can survive. I am in doubt if any Nigeria can afford three square
meals apart from those sitting on our commonwealth. Sadly, those at the
helms of affairs only talked out our plights; nobody seems to be showing
any meaningful concern.
“We should support our government. But I am bold to say that President
Muhammadu Buhari and his cabinet have not done enough to address many ills
of the society. To be candid, many of those holding offices today at the
federal level do not deserve to be in those positions.
“Who then will free us from the Sambisa bondage? Surely, we need God’s
intervention. So, Nigerians irrespective of their status must fervently
pray and seek help from our Creator. Our government at all levels must also
stop playing politics with our lives”, the cleric stated.
Bishop Adeoye frowned at what he called injurious propaganda and deception
in the running of the nation’s affairs just as he blamed most of the state
governors in the country of deliberately ignoring the cries of the masses
by denying them their rights.
He advised Nigerians to firmly hold their destinies in their hand by
engaging in profitable ventures and also ensure that the nation leaders
give proper account of their stewards, saying “we voted them into offices
