The senior Pastor of House on the Rock Church, Paul Adefarasin, advised his church members to have a plan B in case the situation in the country goes out of hand.

This statement from the renowned cleric has attracted varying opinions. The preacher also stated that his wife, Ifeanyi, is out of the country to prepare his family’s Plan B.

In his words,

”I bring you greetings from Pastor Ifeanyi who is busy taking care of the frontier of our world and preparing our escape route. If you don’t have a plan B, I know you have faith. But I have faith too but I have a plan B.

With technology I can speak to you from anywhere in the world. Get yourself a plan B. Whether that’s an Okada to Cameroon or flying boat or speed boat as we call them to Seme Border or a hole in the ground, get your plan B because these people are crazy. The whole bunch of them. And watch the signs because it can happen like this. God forbid!”
