Our Priest Said Woe to Buhari

I was late to church today, and it sucks. The choristers also worsened matters; they sang the psalms really bad: you know how a pianist feel when a singer wanders aimlessly from one key to another. But the scripture readings were nice. The first was taken from the 23rd chapter of Jeremiah, and it reads: Woe to the shepherds who mislead and scatter the flock of my pasture, says the LORD. Therefore, thus says the LORD, the God of Israel, against the shepherds who shepherd my people: You have scattered my sheep and driven them away. You have not cared for them, but I will take care to punish your evil deeds. I myself will gather the remnant of my flock from all the lands to which I have driven them and bring them back to their meadow; there they shall increase and multiply. I will appoint shepherds for them who will shepherd them so that they need no longer fear and tremble; and none shall be missing, says the LORD...

Immediately after the Gospel reading came the homily(your Catholic friends know that). Then the priest, in a green chasuble, preached. He first took us through the historical background of the first reading and made us understand that the shepherds talked about weren't more of religious leaders. Zedekiah was the King of Judah who watched rebellion suffocate his own people. He wasn't wicked(kind of) himself but lacked the moral strength to put his kingdom in order. He watched the powerful take on the poor and vulnerable. Under his watch some citizens of Judah were oppressed and some others humiliated. Then the people began to flee. They sought succour and safety in foreign countries, away from the injustice in Judah.

The same can be said of Nigeria; her citizens also flee to anywhere possible. Some desperately travel en route Libya to Europe through the Mediterranean Sea; many a time lives are lost in the process. Those that remain in the country dare not sleep with two eyes closed. Herdsmen massacre at will, and the leader(s) watch on. Terrorists keep citizens in captivity and would not release Lea Sharibu, when the Muslims find favour. The masses are subjected to hardship; hunger, penury, homelessness, with hunt, injustice and all that. Government would rather concentrate on re-election than sweat out solutions to our problems, so, the priest continued: woe to all the leaders who keep arms akimbo while their subjects suffer. Woe to all, who hold Nigeria to ransome.

In all honesty, our priest never mentioned Buhari's name but I can be sure he meant all who either by ommission or commission brought Nigeria this far. He meant Buhari, he meant Jonathan and all others. He meant the pastors that extort their congregants, those who preach no salvation without tithes and sell miracle oils and water for mouth tearing sums. Have a wonderful sunday.

Yeah, who hasn't today? The amount of woes he collects daily is higher than mount Everest. Divide the country.

The wishes of evil on anyone by anyone has no bearing in what befalls him/her.

If wishes were horses, beggars would ride.

If na by curse or evil wishes, PMB will have died long ago.

So, make una no kill una self on top Buhari matter. He's already blessed beyond you evil wishes and curses.

I hope you read what the priest said and didn't just jump to conclusion after reading the thread title.

No tribalistic president can succede in a complex society like Nigeria.... All this dunce does is to supervise the killing done by his tribesmen in the country... While churning out excuses for them...
If it's not Gaddafi boys from Libya
It's politician sponsored gunmen

Declare them terrorists that they are becomes a problem.. Buhari will rot in hell for all eternity
He will never go unpunished
Same goes for all those supporting this evil administration
